I would like to be able to do this - is it possible - or is it done as part of starting the cabin heating stuff?

Also in case it is not possible - if going into the car and starting the heating through the infotainment system, will the heating stop again if I leave, and lock, the car?

As far as I am aware you can't preheat the battery and yes if you leave the car the battery heating will stop as will the interior heating but interior heating can be switched back on with the app.

Or not if you own a 2024 85x as remote heating via the app is permanently disabled πŸ˜‚.

Really, that's poor. One of the most useful features. Can you set the timer to bring it on?

I have an 85 Sportline (not 85x) and can start cabin heating via the app. So is this a weird difference between the 85 and 85x?

Hm, that's disappointing :-( If you are somewhere and know you have to drive to a supercharger right after, it would be nice to be able to start it...

Apologies, I was being flippant. I was referring to the constant 12v battery issues that plague 2024 owners, which effectively render any remote functions from the app unusable 90% of the time. While my car allows remote hearing from the app, in practice I can rarely use it. See one of the many 12v battery limit threads for further details.

Preheating the cabin using the app rarely works on my 24 85X Sportline Plus so I use the seatbelt trick. I open the door and close the drivers seatbelt before getting in and then sit on the belt.
Press ok on the screen and tap the brake to switch on the car.
Start the cabin heating using the screen and then switch off the car using the steering column button before getting out.
The cabin heating will stay on until you get back in to switch it off.
Unfortunately the cabin heating will stop if you lock the car so the car has to be left unlocked during the cabin heating.

@MK09.

Can't start heating from app on 2024 85x??? Where did you get that from? I have the coupΓ© version and use that facility often!
