Aftermounting cabin preheater

I have a G82 -23 and I'm starting to feel the bitter consequence of not driving a car with a remote controlled cabin preheater, since it wasn't available as an option for the M4 Competition.

Is there any aftermarket product you know of that makes sense installing, meaning that you would get pre-heating of at least the cabin?
If the car could be pre-heated by timer, and preferably integrated with BMW's remote ventilation system then that would be awesome. But maybe other options would be OK, maybe even an electrical plugin system. I guess the short question is - Is it even possible?

Don't you have the "My BMW" app on your phone? I use it to remote start my 23 M4 Comp a few minutes before I leave for work every morning.

You have to enable the ventilation/climatization option in the vehicle before you can activate it remotely.

I did go after this, but apparently it's limited to a few countries:
"The function "Remote Engine Start" is currently available in the following countries: Australia, Canada, China, Malaysia, New Zealand, Russia, South Africa, South Korea, Taiwan, Thailand, and the USA."

I assume this can not be coded via Bimmercode or a more professional expert?
