Pittsburgh, PA -- (SBWIRE) -- 10/12/2011 -- P&W BMW is proud to announce that BMW owners with Android smartphones can download and enjoy the My BMW Remote application. The application is able to communicate with the owner’s BMW to perform an array of features straight from a smartphone. The program has been available on the iPhone but is now open to Android powered phones as well.

The My BMW Remote helps to add comfort, safety, and luxury in the palm of BMW owner’s hands. Owners will love the ability to lock or unlock their car via the remote app. If drivers think they forgot to lock their car or want to unlock it for someone, they can do it right from their phone. The My BMW Remote application also allows the interior temperature of the car to be set. Owners can heat up or cool down the car before drivers enter for the ultimate comfort depending on the weather.

BMW owners will also enjoy the ability to find their car easily with the remote application. If they’ve parked in a large parking garage or lot, users can sound the horn or flash the lights with their phone to find their car. If the lights or horn still don’t help owners locate their BMW, they can see the car located on a map up to 920 feet away and navigate to their car that way.

The My BMW Remote also allows users to utilize Google’s local search through the phone to find businesses and points of interest. Owners can then upload those addresses to the navigation system to access directions seamlessly.

Security is a priority with the My BMW Remote application since it gives so much access to the BMW. The registration procedure is very secure with answers only the owner can answer. An owner-defined pin is set to use the application on the smartphone as an extra security measure.

With great security, owners can feel comfortable using all of these great features to enjoy their BMW to the maximum.
