I have seen kits available for new x5's for remote start that utilizes your factory bmw remote. The vehicle is started by hitting the unlock button 3 times which starts the car. My dealer told me remote start would void my warranty though, so im afraid to take the plunge.

Its the one option i really want unfortunately . I don't understand why BMW won't get with the program.

Does anyone also know if the remote app for the iphone that was released in Europe coming to the US? I would love to be able to unlock, lock and locate my vehicle right on my iphone. I mean if you have BMW service included in your vehicle, the options could be endless. If your vehicle was stolen you could tell the police exactly where it is, you could in theory kill the engine. We probably will never see that , but the GPS locate feature, remote start, and lock unlock doors can all be done if BMW allows it.
