BMW Remote Control App — Lock, Climate & Location from Your Phone
CarConnect works with BMW vehicles: lock and unlock from anywhere, see live location and fuel level, and keep documents and service history in one place — all from your phone, with no wiring or extra hardware. It requires an active connected-services account (BMW ConnectedDrive) and a supported model year.
Your BMW, in your pocket
Lock & unlock
Lock or unlock from anywhere — no key-fob range limit — and see the real lock state, not a guess.
Live location
See where the car is parked (or headed) on a live map, using the vehicle's built-in GPS.
Fuel & status
Fuel level or EV charge, odometer and vehicle status at a glance before you leave the house.
Climate & remote start
Pre-heat, pre-cool or remote-start on vehicles that expose these commands through their connected services.
Documents vault
Insurance, registration and service records in one place, attached to the right car.
Service reminders
Maintenance history and reminders so nothing on the schedule slips.
Feature availability varies by BMW model, year and connected-services plan — the in-app compatibility check shows exactly what your car supports before you subscribe.
Connect your BMW in three steps
Check your BMW
Pick your BMW model and year in the free compatibility check — you'll know in seconds whether your car qualifies.
Activate connected services
Make sure your BMW ConnectedDrive account is active. Most recent BMW vehicles sold in the USA already include one — your dealer can confirm.

BMW owners ask
Does CarConnect work with BMW vehicles?
Yes — CarConnect works with BMW vehicles that have an active connected-services account (BMW ConnectedDrive). Once your account is linked, you can lock and unlock, check location and status, and manage your car from the CarConnect app.
Which BMW model years are supported?
Coverage generally starts around model year 2010 and depends on the model and region — support comes from the vehicle's built-in connectivity, not from any hardware we add. The fastest way to check is the in-app compatibility check: pick your BMW model and year and you'll get an instant answer.
What do I need before connecting my BMW?
An active BMW ConnectedDrive account. Most BMW vehicles sold in the USA in recent years already include one — your dealer can confirm or activate it. No wiring, dongle or extra hardware is needed.
Does CarConnect replace the official BMW app?
No. CarConnect is an independent companion app that works alongside the manufacturer's own app. Many drivers prefer it for its clean interface, multi-car garage (even across different makes), and extras like a documents vault and service reminders.
What if my BMW isn't supported?
If the compatibility check can't match your model, it's usually an inactive connected-services account or an older model year. Reach out at support@loopmobile.io and we'll check your exact configuration — every plan is covered by a 15-day money-back guarantee, so trying CarConnect is risk-free.
