Also, when you set it, it is only good for THAT day and won't carry forward to another day. I'm sure this is so you don't do something like park it for a week while you leave for vacation and run the battery down.

It would be nice if I would activate it on my way to the car as I lock up my office.

This is a great feature, along with the shade package, but remember you have to reset this feature it does not stay set. By the way South Florida is way hotter the CA
There are parts of California which are very mild, and parts that are extremely hot. Do you think Florida is hotter than Death Valley in August--hardly. It's been 109 degrees plus several times this week in Fresno.

Parked Car Ventilation + Tinted Windows + BMW e60 Windshield Cover = Perfect solution to keeping the interior cool when the car is sitting out all day baking in the sun.
I tried it for the first time yesterday. I made a big differnce!!

Great thread! I wasn't even aware of this feature and never would have figured it out if it were not for this forum.
