The parked car circulation is a feature that I've not yet figured out. Seems like you have to select a starting time and duration each time - is that correct? Tough to set up each time I park...

It works on my 12 35d and my wife's 335ic. Watch the red security light beneath the mirror - it will stay on when you click the button the second time.
