Did a quick search and didn't see anything new.

I wanted to pick the Beyond brains if I could...

A family friend is moving out to Calgary from Vancouver and wanted a car starter done on their 2014 BMW X5.

Called around and He's been told by the dealership in Vancouver (where he got the vehicle) and by Calgary BMW they don't recommend and don't install. So he's worried about his warranty.

But funny enough the dealership in Edmonton says they can do it no problem. As well aftermarket shops are telling him no problem. Goggling gave a mixed bag or results, where a majority of older posts say NO, but there are youtube videos actually showing some having it installed.

Anyone have any good or bad experiences on their BMW?

Just wanted to get your thoughts and recommendation.
Yes or no, a shop in Calgary that you'd trust?

TIA

I found the same mixed reviews and decided to just not bother with it.

Idling for too long isn't good for the engine and the car warms up fast when driven anyway.

My $0.02.

Get it from the Edmonton BMW dealership that says it's not a problem and get them to write it on a letter that this won't void his warranty.
