"Preconditioning Failed" - BMW Remote app problem

It's hot lately, so I've been trying to use the preconditioning feature in the iOS app to start the ventilation.

I can get it to work if I do the "Activate now" button, but I can't get the timer feature to work. It either can't connect to the server, or it gets to the "sending to vehicle" step but ultimately fails.

Is this just broken and am I wasting my time with the timer?

Can you unlock and lock the doors or find the car on the GPS feature?

Yes and yes. I can also start the ventilation with the activate now button. It's just the set timer that does not work.

I can set the timer inside the car and that works.

the app is pure garbage. Everyone has complaints about some sort of feature. Personally I can hardly get anything but the 'location' thing to work. I got the horn to honk once but i was standing basically 10ft from my car.

Probably just as bad as the bimmerpost app :P

Takes at least a minute for the horn to actually honk
