Start your engine remotely – Stay in control, whatever the weather.

Tired of stepping into a freezing cold BMW in winter or a scorching hot cabin in summer? Our BMW/MINI Remote Start Retrofit gives you the luxury of starting your engine from a distance using your original key fob , activating your vehicle’s climate control for a more comfortable drive every time.

✅ Key Features:

Remote Engine Start – Start your car using the lock button (3x press) on your BMW or MINI key fob

Our Remote Start Retrofit is even more secure than the factory OEM solution. With advanced safety protocols in place, it's impossible to drive off without unlocking the car using your original key fob — ensuring full protection against unauthorised access, even with the spare key hidden inside.

Climate Control Activation – Automatically warms or cools the cabin based on last-used HVAC settings

Adjustable Auto Shut-off – Choose runtime from 10 to 60 minutes (default: 20 minutes)

Built-in Safety Checks – Won’t start unless doors, bonnet, and boot are closed; raises windows automatically

Seat Heater Activation – Works with vehicles that have seat memory (1/2/3-level heating)

Anti-theft Protection – Engine shuts down if brake is pressed without unlocking the car with the original fob

Mirror Folding (if equipped) – Auto-fold mirrors on shutdown; unfolds on remote start

Secure & Lease-Friendly – No permanent modifications required; fully reversible install
