With the My BMW Remote app installed on your iPhone or iPad, you will potentially have access to a bevy of awesome features. At its most basic, you will be able to unlock and lock your doors in case you locked your keys in the car or just aren't certain you locked the doors. You also have the option of honking your horn and turning on your headlights, which is a very useful feature to help you locate your vehicle.

Another cool feature is the Google Local search that allows you to find nearby attractions and restaurants and send the data to your vehicle.
