Without the setting enabled the car will just turn the hvac on without starting the car.
Can you post where you turn on this setting in iDrive? I can't seem to find anything pertaining to remote start which makes me wonder if this feature has been disabled on Canadian G05 X5's...

That would make a ton of sense for all us poor souls up in the great white north
