Is this a genuine BMW feature?
Yes. This activates BMW’s factory option 1CR Remote Engine Start, the same built-in feature supplied on compatible vehicles from the factory, with full integration into the iDrive climate menu and original key fob.
The activation uses a Patch FSC designed to function like an original BMW FSC code, giving you a clean, factory-style result.
