A remote start system for any vehicle essentially consists of two main components, the vehicle-installed remote start module, and the remote start key-fob. When you press the button on the key fob or the BMW remote start app, a signal is sent to the remote start module, which is wired to components like your vehicle’s starter, ignition lock, and park sensor, enabling the motor to start without the key present in the vehicle.
If you bought your BMW used, or possibly worked with a less-than-informative sales-person, you may not be aware of the remote start function on your modern BMW.
