The iPhone app only gives you that option for NON-US vehicles....I don't get it.

It would be so much more useful in Florida than in Canada...

Plenty useful in Canada, too. We use it to scare off the polar bears.

It's about damn time! Bought a new IPOD 5th Gen a few months ago just to get this functionality. No need to upgrade to the iPhone 6 now.

WTF...seriously...why can they not get this working on the iPhone.

I thought it was a region based feature (as it states in the manual and online).

iPhone users only get Online Search, Locking/Unlocking, Remote Horn, and Flash Headlights, which all take a good two minutes to respond to the command.

The only actual useful Remote Control feature is the climate control/ventilation which we don't even get for some unknown reason...

I hope it's soon.

WTF, what's wrong with BMW, why give different features to different versions of the same app for the same market?

The login, I believe. My login was my email address as listed in my BMW Assist Agreement contract.

What packages do you need on the car to be able to use this app?

When you guys state BMW assist you mean the Emergency Call and TeleService? Is this agreed upon picking up the car from the dealer and giving your email or something?
