Vehicle Off Cabin HVAC

The BMW Genius phone line could not confirm. Any info on whether you can turn off the car, lock, and walk away but with the HVAC still on? Tesla calls this "Dog Mode", but I'd use it here in the southwest desert for stopping to go into stores, groceries, etc.

Yes you can leave on the preconditioning after exiting the vehicle for up to 30 minutes. You can actually call this up remotely from the app as well at any time, as well as schedule preconditioning for daily commute.

We do this on our iX and i7, it’s a great feature!
