Remote Start and major software update

I read today that BMW is rolling out a major iDrive 7 update for new and existing vehicles 07.2020.xx apparently it is going to add a lot of new features some which may or may not be applicable to is here in Australia.

One thing I noticed new in BMW connect store today was a remote engine start app is now available in the Australian store, it says it isn't available for my vehicle but then again so did the drive recorder until I updated to 07/2019.xx
I am hoping that we are able to get it soon, even at $650 to access it , it's the one and only feature I miss from my RR Velar that I would buy in an instant.

Has anyone got it showing as available to them right now ?

Mine is available running

03/2020.58

But for $700 I can live without it, that is a massive rip off.

$700 still about the third of what it cost as part of a package on my RR so would be well worth it for me as I use it daily

What build date are you?

Oh wow I didn't know they were building them as early as late 2018. Definitely a first edition
What software version are you running at the moment. Does it say the feature is available for you in the connected drive store?

Mine is a build date of 12/2018. It is running 03/2020.58. The remote start update is showing in the store, but not available. I purchased drive recorder a few months ago through the store.

Strange mine is running the same firmware version, but my build is 06/2020 so that may be the difference.

Hey all has anyone got it yet? Curious to see if the app will change and if the settings is coded in the keys for 3 times lock to remote and stop. And see if the app interface has changed. Just spoken to the dealer and it seems to be a new product they haven't heard off and said only available in the US
