Hi, One way to "command" the BMW/Mini cars is with the BMW ConnectedDrive app. This talks to REST APIs on BMW servers around the place. This API has been sniffed by others and seems simple to use. The actual delivery of the command to the car is deathly slow - at least here in South Africa. I think it actually sends the car an SMS to kick things off. And it doesn't always work. Still, it does allow things like unlock / lock / climatise and what have you. I expect I can come up with some sort of "noop" operation that boils down to "wake up the car" which would be helpful to get fresh state from the car from time to time. Would you be OK with taking a PR for the bmwi3 vehicle module that uses this? Are there any available frameworks for calling HTTP/JSON/REST APIs from the C++ code?
