Remote Engine Start Repair After Chip Tuning
What is BMW Remote Engine Start?
Remote Engine Start (option 1CR) is a factory BMW function that allows the engine to be started remotely before entering the vehicle. While near the vehicle and within key range, the driver presses the lock button with the BMW logo three times in succession.
On vehicles that support this function, the engine starts and the climate control system automatically begins cooling or heating the cabin according to the selected temperature. This allows the vehicle to be prepared for the trip in advance.
After chip tuning, option 1CR — Remote Engine Start — may stop working because of changes made to the DME control unit software.
We restore the Remote Engine Start function in the DME flash file. You send us the flash file read from the DME control unit, we perform the required software repair and return the ready file. After the file is written back to the DME, Remote Engine Start works again.
