Why can't I use remote control after activating BMW ConnectedDrive?
1 Answers
BMW ConnectedDrive is activated but remote control cannot be used because it doesn't work in underground garages, suburban areas, crowded places, or when the signal is poor. Remote control activation methods: Via traditional remote key: Press the [Lock] button three times consecutively. Via display key: After swiping up to unlock, find the remote control interface, press and hold the middle [START/STOP] button for about 2 seconds until the engine starts, then the button turns green. Via BMW Connected app on smartphone: Enter the [Vehicle] menu to access the vehicle status and control interface, locate the [Ventilation Now] button (a fan-shaped icon), tap to display the remote engine start option, then confirm. Shutdown methods: The remotely started engine will automatically shut down after 15 minutes of operation. If you reach the vehicle within 15 minutes, you can manually turn off the engine. Using the traditional remote key, you can press the lock button three times consecutively to shut down the engine.
