This is the one I'm running...plenty of range but I'd still like to upgrade to the 3 mile one if you're interested in buying mine.

I've been doing some research on the remote starters, even quizzing up a buddy who does custom car installs. Seem from talking to him and looking around the flashlogic, idatastart, etc (all the same) seem to be the best bet. Install looks pretty straightforward and all plug and play. They also have the ability to work with various long range RF remotes by changing the programming.
W84IT, from what I have read for phone interface most were using drone mobile with the flashlogic. I believe it requires a subscription to use, I didn't investigate further as I am more interested in using the stock remote. |

But I agree that having the car running when it shouldn't be is a non-starter for me (bad pun intended).

May I ask, WHY you guys need to start your car 3 miles away?
Not being sarcastic, really, in what scenario is this necessary? I mean, even if you are fast approaching on a nearby highway, that is still ~3 minutes away. That is longer than I EVER idle my X5... And longer than BMW wants you to idle. Melting ice, ok I can get that. What other reasons do you have?

I myself work at Boeing in Everett, WA which happens to be the world's largest building. With as much parking as there is here, it's still at least a 5 minute walk before I'm even outside, then there's still the walk to the parking lot itself. My current remote is a claimed 1500'...in perfect conditions. With as much metal and concrete there is here, it'll only work if I walk outside, hit the start button, listen for the exhaust (often the remote doesn't verify the cars been started, but I can hear it :-) ) and then I'll continue walking further while inside the building if it's raining or snowing until I'm at a door that's closest to where I've parked. If I'm parked close and in more reasonable places (home, grocery stores, etc), then the aftermarket remote works great.
The 2 mine range Viper remote on my Harley F150 is a different story. Not only does the remote always show the correct info (seems to communicate/refresh communication better), but I've yet to work and park far enough away to where it still did it's job. No need to go outside first or anything, I'll just hit start, gather my things, find the nearest timeclock and I'm outta there. Coming outside to the A/C or the heater, heated seats and steering wheel being on after a 12hr day is what makes it worth it for me. For those who park in office park garages, have a 500' walk at most, etc will be just fine using the factory remote and hitting lock 3x to start it. |

So my buddy was able to score me an iDatastart unit and lent me his programming cable. For some reason this branding version comes with a 2 way remote good for 2000ft.
http://www.idatalink.com/product/product/product_id/165 Upon opening and looking up model numbers the added remote is a compustar ANT-2WSP RF 2 way kit and slice Jr remotes. I was in a rush and didn't take photos, but install took me 4 hours, but easily could be done quicker. My issues: I spent about 40 minutes failing to get my phone to connect to the mobile programmer I borrowed, my wifes iPad ended up working with it. Then I had a heart attack when nothing worked (as in locks, ignition, radio, etc) with the jumper cables plugged in, after another 40mins of panic, Google searches, plugging and unplugging it resolved itself. I figured it was due to one or two of the plugs needing a firm push to properly seat. After that I realized that both modules need to be programmed before install, I only flashed the first, so that was another 10-15 wasted. After that, the KLON programming was a breeze, running through the completion checklist and test was a easy and had no issues. Setting up the RF remotes took a bit of playing around. Then spent some extra time doing my best to stuff the cables and unit cleanly. I'd say without hiccups like mine it's a 2.5 hour job at a relaxed pace. First impressions: It starts no problem with the OEM fob, takes a good 10-15 seconds to go through a bit of a sequence and start. The parking lights flash every 5 seconds and the headlights are on when you remote start. I find this a bit annoying, kinda says "look at me I'm running". The two way remote I thought was pretty cool, you hold the button for 3 seconds and it beeps and flashes once it starts, or if it fails. I didn't test it out with any distance, just the far side of the house which is all we need. So far so good. |

All these questions of distance an such as well as the idling nonsense in Indiana. I personally installed an omega start BM1 and DroneMobile module, because I have a house in AK and live there most of the year. I can start it anywhere with my phone or apple watch or I can use my factory key fobs at limited range. It is installed on a 2013 x5 35d with a BPC tune and SCR, DPF, and EGR delete. I have a a 10 sec delay built in for the glow plugs and everything works fine. This has been installed for over a year. Ive lived in AK for over 10 years and without an autostart because of ambient temps at times it takes a little bit of driving to get to operating temps. That is the point of an autostart, block heaters don't cover it either when you can't plug in somewhere. Hope this helps, Ive had autostarts in multiple vehicles and this was the simplest to install and has worked flawlessly, I recommend it.

I installed the omegalink branded version of this in my 2012 X5M. Remote start works but it shuts off when I open the door. It does this even if I wait more than the 45 seconds of "Secure Takeover Delay".
I have comfort access, when I cloned the key I stuck it in the dash as directed. Is that right? I've reset the module and reprogrammed and recloned, but the problem persists. Any ideas? |

During the install process the system clones one of your keys (done by inserting the key in the slot and following their direction) and uses the cloned info to make the ignition/secutity system think there is a key in the ignition...

Exiting grocery store with wife. Remote start car. As we approach car, I unlock doors. Wife enters passenger side while I unload groceries into trunk. I do not open driver side door for several minutes. With the above, will the car auto-shut-off before I've had a chance to enter and override, because the passenger door had been opened? Just curious if/how this would work, as this scenario would be pretty frequently used for me. If I need to get in and do something within seconds (or say, under a minute) it will kind of defeat the benefit of installing this in the first place. |

Looking for a remote start for my 2011 35i.
Is there any new kits? Any info from someone that has them? I’d like it to be trouble free with comfort access as well as starting the vehicle normally. Thank. |
