Hi 👋 I am using In Control in my Range Rover . Asleep 😴 mode is showing after lock 🔐 last location without moving the car 🚗. And other features you can check windows/ Doors 🚪 / Bonnet and Boot status is open/ closed. And remote start is cut off after 25/30 minutes automatically. Very nice 👍 video. Thanks 🙏 🙏
Спасибо ! Недавно провёл тест - драйв на Defender 2020 . Впечатления самые лучшие, англичане, в этом классе, явно обошли и немцев и японцев ! Хочу такой авто !
The software is a little temperamental on my Velar when locking and unlocking too. Also the journeys can take a little while to appear. I have been using the incontrol app since 2015 on my Disco Sport. Defiantly work in progress
Check the cog on the more tab for the sleep time. The Jag only goes into low power mode after about 4 days of not being started and you can change that in the more tab.
Another fascinating video. I am a big fan of new technology but I can't see any use for this other than it being nice on the odd day when its cold and you want to warm it up. However i just put my coat on when its like that. I cannot see why i would want to start it or lock it from my phone, especially when its as slow as that, just use the key fob buttons. I lost my wife's Fiat 500 in a dark car park once but i've never lost a landrover ! :) This just looks like more complicated electronic type stuff that can go wrong.
Great informative vidios` Can you do one on adaptive speed limiter? mine wont work, every time i turn it on, by the main screen it goes off after 2 seconds,! and the dealer dosent seem to know anything about how it should work !
@@L663 Such a bummer. Would love to be able to drive the car w/say apple watch/wallet as it's more secure than a key (but to do so, land rover would have to give up thier $2K keyfob business (although I'd pay that for the apple watch access)
Excellent videos - but this one does show up how dirty the sides of the vehicle are. If you had the mudflaps on, the vehicle sides would be almost totally clean (as I have discovered using mudflaps on my vehicles) - will you be doing a video showing how to fit mudflaps in the future?
@@L663 No, but I have really been appreciating all your excellent videos. I learned quite a few years ago how much mudflaps protect the sides of the car from damage and was surprised how few drivers use them. It must cost a fortune to keep getting Chips Away out to repair the stone chip damage compared to the low cost of mudflaps. Looking forward to watching the fitting video.
Good point... i have been driving the L494 this week and feeling the love for it again. Also having discovered Android auto in the new "toy" i am now understanding what a good system this would be to have the L494. I do try and mix the videos up a bit... some L322... some Disco 4 etc...and some new toy stuff !
Simon, interesting that you are using a different app to me! I couldn’t get logged into the V2 app but the it guys in Warwick managed to get me going with the old V1 that has all the same functions! I do find that it takes a couple of seconds for the app screen to refresh.
A week before delivery I was told to download the newer of the two apps, did so to my new iPhone SE after checking that I still had my account from 2018 when I left LR ownership for a while, account was OK, logging worked fine there but neither the dealership team nor I could get into it by smartphone only on laptop or pc....... anyway told LRCS and nothing happened for 2 weeks then I was requested to download the old app V1.8 I think it is and Lo and behold straight in, all functions are working fine. I’ve owned many Land Rovers and Range Rovers, 13 up to 2018, and only one ever gave any problems. I wanted to keep my 2015.5 RRS SDv6 HSE Dynamic but LR refused point blank to give extended cover on the snapping crank issue so I went to the local BMW Mini dealer and bought Mini Countryman PHEV. Cracking car and in two years not a single issue, one service in May this year and one safety recall for a new label on the granny charger for the domestic plug in charger. I put down a deposit on a Defender the same day as I signed the order for the Mini. Have been disappointed that in the two years I’ve been away from buy new LR products NOTHING seems to have changed either in the way the company doesn’t value its customers or the Quality Control at the factory. As you know my car had several defects that showed up after delivery, defects that it should never have left the factory with........ dealer is fantastic JLR on the other hand couldn’t give a toss and they wonder why people won’t buy their cars. At Mini I was treated like their most valued customer, they couldn’t do enough to help when there was a problem with my order, before it was even built I had a designated person in BMW UK to deal with, all I get out of Land Rover CS is “take it to the dealer and make a warranty claim”
Hi! Nice video! I have SE model but i don’t have remote climate option,because its forbiden option in Germany (what i read is because underground garages LR lock that option) Is there any wat to bypass it? or somehow unlock that option?
Hello, Do you purchased the optional park heat with remote control? Or the heating / ventilation could be achieved only by starting the engine with the standard In Control app? Thanks Radu
Hi - i am not 100% but i think if you purchase the park heat then you get an auxiliary heater so the car does not need to start its engine. For me its fine to start the engine to warm the car on the few occasions i need this.
powerfulukltd Thank you for your quick reply. I am asking you this because this week I will signt the contract for ordering the new Defender and I do not know if I can start the car only within the InControl app. I do not mind to save 1500 Euro by avoiding to buy the park heating with remote control option.
I am going to say yes it should be on all models - remember mine is a low spec "S" model so i am actually happy that this is standard on the S model. You should check with your local dealer first.... and see you got your requested video...
Interesting that your app looks completely different to mine. It does the same things but has a dark screen set out in a different layout. Mine has never been “asleep” though...maybe some new bright idea that doesn’t quite work! 🤨😃😃😃
Nice vid..... Had the chance to test the defender for one day... Trying to convince myself to get it. Even though there has been a few snags. The system did seem buggy when testing it and sat nav didn't want to play ball, even when returning back to the main dealer? Does seem like they have rushed it in some weird way, even though it's been in the pipe line for years? We will see. I want to like it! There's just something niggling at me?
The apple car play is way better than the inbuilt system in my view... and WAZE better than the inbuilt nav.....but at least you can simply set up Apple car play... the one annoying thing is that apple car play is not wireless so i need to plug the phone in every time.
@@L663 cool why is there always somthing that doesn't quite meet the expectations. I don't use apple only android. Surely they must employ somebody who looks at all the things that would not only entise a customer, but makes sure that all mater of Software/ programming and general functionality of options work above and beyond a customer's expectations.... For some reason it always leaves you with an anticlimax feeling. That's across the board.
I’ve a Volvo XC90 with the same sort of app, my car goes to sleep if it hasn’t been used for about a week. The car is kept in my garage and the app always sees the car. My car came with a Vodafone 100gb sim that lasts a year.
To be honest it was Volvo who started the smart market when it comes to gizmos for the car, it was a bit of a milestone .... And I have only heard good things?
klopdogs the Volvo app isn’t as good as the land rovers, on the Volvo app you can turn the heating/cooling on but it only comes on at the last setting ie you can’t change the temperature. Another thing that looks better on the Land Rover is the map route, again the Volvo doesn’t do that , all it does is tell you where you started & finished , how long it took , how many miles & mpg. It doesn’t show the route. I’m talking about all versions apart from the T8 (electric car) , the T8 app does what the Land Rover app does.
Thanks for posting these helpful and interesting videos! I have a problem with my new defender. When braking with a relatively hard force i can hear a nocking sound coming under my feet. have you faced a problem like that? or is it just normal? Thank you.
The car wont remote start if its unlocked, all remote starting on all the Land Rover range is the same. It stops the car being driven away by strangers.
Maybe would have been better if you knew how the remote was supposed to work in the first place. It's difficult to see what are bugs are what is down to you not understanding how it works
I had to use the urban dictionary to look this up - ( Read the F'in Manual ) i did follow the manual - as you will see there is not a great wealth of info contained within it.... www.ownerinfo.landrover.com/document/3E/2020/T24106/38261_en_GBR/proc/G2386321
Sorry but you are like my misses, when using her phone she declares that it is not working while her hand is a blur pressing every tab and button, going see see, when I can get the thing off her and deliberately press the correct sequence of tabs and buttons, wyhay it works, then she’ll say well it’s working now, did not work a minute ago.
Whois going to use all this nonsense, it’s vehicle To go from A to B ! This is no Land Rover but a dream of some to think they are actually explorers, ...........in Chelsea and Kensington !
app is so ignorant... too not put a remote start on the key fob is pure ignorance.. Engineers getting paid mega bucks to design these things and instead of keeping it simple they force us to use more app crap.. A simple button on the fob.. make the app a second choice

Pivi Pro is the new infotainment system, they’ve ditched the useless Incontrol Touch system and gradually be replaced through out the model ranges.
The software still looks a bit buggy - as you use it usually you end up using less options and settle for what works!! Look forward to updates.
The software is a little temperamental on my Velar when locking and unlocking too. Also the journeys can take a little while to appear. I have been using the incontrol app since 2015 on my Disco Sport. Defiantly work in progress
Defiantly? You mean definitely I guess.
Check the cog on the more tab for the sleep time. The Jag only goes into low power mode after about 4 days of not being started and you can change that in the more tab.
Thanks - but there was clearly and issue on the first setup... the car had only be left unlocked for 10 minutes max...
PiviPro is the “new” and improved Inconttol Touch Pro system for the touch screen.
Hello dear, i would like to use the app but i can't coz i don't have the button to install my car to my application, could you help me please?

Agree but the journey tracker is pretty cool.... especially when the body shop take your car for a joyride !
@@L663 yes I can see that would be good, what was the body shop's excuse for taking the car for a run?
do you defender cones with Park Heat with remote control? Do you by any chance know how Park Heat with remote control works?
I too notice that to you cannot start the car if it is unlocked. On the Home Screen there is a message whether it is locked or not.
It would nice if the app offered to lock the car for you - save you a press etc... the point of the app is surely to make your life more convenient.
Great informative vidios` Can you do one on adaptive speed limiter? mine wont work, every time i turn it on, by the main screen it goes off after 2 seconds,! and the dealer dosent seem to know anything about how it should work !
Great video. How do you remote start the Defender? I can't find that on the app? In addition, is there no apple watch companion app?
So to remote "start" the car, you have to remote start climate and then can drive? Can you drive without the fab and just with your phone ?
No you cannot drive the car without the key ! the remote start is just for climate !
@@L663 Such a bummer. Would love to be able to drive the car w/say apple watch/wallet as it's more secure than a key (but to do so, land rover would have to give up thier $2K keyfob business (although I'd pay that for the apple watch access)
Good thing software can be improved on the fly.
Lets hope so !
Cool video. Isn’t pivi pro the entertainment system? On the sat nav and radio etc
Yes Greg you are correct it seems to be generic name for the infotainment system

Yes - average speed is all it shows so as long you average is not above speed limit you are OK. You can turn off the record journey function !
