Via iDrive:
1. "CAR"
2. "Settings"
3. "Climate control"
4. "Preconditioning/ventilation"
5. If necessary, "Remote Engine Start"
6. "Starting engine for clim. control"
7. Confirm the disclaimer.
and then
Via vehicle key
The system can be switched on and off using
the vehicle key.
Press the button on the vehicle key three
times within 1 second.
After operating the vehicle key, it will take approximately
3 seconds until the engine is switched on.
To switch off the system, press the button again
three times.

Awesome.. Thanks!!! Will give that a try a little later.
Just idiotic why the car would tell me its not available when I hit the voice button.
