The sun is shining and the front is high energy. Do not. It is high temperature!
When the summer arrives, the car stops at the side of the road for a while and turns into a sauna immediately.

However, with the rapid development of the mobile Internet, there are more and more models that can remotely start air conditioners in cars through smart phones.
BMW X5
2015 BMW X5
Manufacturer's guide price: 75.8 to 172.8 million yuan
First you have to have a BMW X5. Then, through the App Store search for "BMW Remote Assistant" App, download and install at the same time, you can start the air conditioner remotely, but also can adjust the temperature yourself.

BMW X5 Remote Start Air Conditioning Advertisement. However, the application scenario in the advertisement is winter (the cars next to them are covered by snow, and only the BMW X5 does not fall), and our theme today is about summer.
So, can other BMW models also start the air conditioner remotely in the same way? Those expensive models, such as the BMW 7 Series, are available.
And those first-class models, such as the BMW X1, will not work.
Buick LaCrosse
2016 Buick LaCrosse
Manufacturer's guide price: 22.58~33.98 ten thousand yuan
In fact, the next thing to talk about is not just Buick LaCrosse.
To a small science first: GM has three major brands, Buick, Chevrolet, Cadillac. GM also has well-known Anji Star, which is known as "the artificial call center provides services for vehicles remotely."

OnStar Manual Call Center
Anjixing is now not only a simple "manual call center to provide services for vehicles remotely," but it has also taken up the work of the General Motors Smart Forum.
Search for "Angel Star" APP through the App Store, download and install at the same time. If your model can support the "Remote Start (Engine)" function, (Generally speaking, mid-to-high-end models under the General Motors such as Buick LaCrosse, Malibu XL, and Cadillac CT6 can support this function), and then each time you Before extinguishing a car, you can develop a good habit of “not turning off the air conditionerâ€. You can remotely start the air conditioner in the vehicle by remote start (engine).

Since Andystar does not have its own "Remote Start Air Conditioning" feature, it means that you cannot adjust the temperature at will.
BYD Qin
2015 models BYD Qin
Manufacturer's guide price: 20.98 - 21.9 million yuan
Yes, there is BYD Qin. Search “BYD Cloud Service†APP through the App Store, download and install at the same time, it can not only start the air conditioner remotely, but also adjust the temperature by itself. In addition, most BYD models also support this app.

However, I remember that the 360 ​​companies that had made a lot of noises last year to attack BYD's cloud services are talking about this "BYD Cloud Service" APP.
In addition, it is strange to say that when I landed on the "BYD Cloud Service" official website and I saw 400 telephones in the upper right corner that I wanted to use to explore the past, I discovered that it was a space number! ! ! Really gripping the grass.

OBD box
Of course, in addition to buying models that come with a remote-start air conditioner, you can also retrofit your existing car to achieve this function.

To understand the OBD box, first understand the OBD:
OBD is the acronym for On-Board Diagnostic. Chinese translation means “on-board diagnostics (interface)â€, which is the last electronic interface of most cars. It is usually hidden behind the main driver's throttle or on the brake pedal (because of different car brand models. In contrast, what I said was "general"). In the past, it was mainly for the maintenance personnel to connect to the car diagnostic device through this interface to diagnose car faults.
For example, the OBD is like the heart of a car. The car diagnostic device is like a doctor's stethoscope. It can hear that the car is out of order.
OBD is usually hidden behind the main driving throttle or brake pedal
The OBD box is equivalent to very boldly changing the stethoscope into a remote control, directly inserting the "heart", and controlling some functions of the car through the mobile phone APP.

However, for such behavior of third-party manufacturers' OBD boxes, car manufacturers do not actually open their authority;
Third-party vendors basically implement it by "reverse hacking" (or you can also understand it as "jail evasion"). In short, walk between the gray areas.
This is probably why the OBD box hasn't been fired. You always can't help but say in your heart: "This is safe?"
