I know this feature was added for MY 2007. If it is software based, I'm wondering if upgrading the software CIP version will add this feature to the older cars?

Not when you lock your key inside the car.
Fair enough.

This feature is only available in NA through BMW Assist.

And to finally get around to answering the question, no it is not something that can simply be added with a software update. I have a Jan. '04 build and have been back and forth with BMWNA over this. Can't be done so I dropped BMW Assist...

Thanks for the answer! I've got comfort access and I've got this vague feeling that someday I'm going to be locked out of my car with no key. Anyone with MY 2007 and later have a good backup plan.

I suppose there's one way to find out.....
