Proud owner of a new MY16 Diesel RRS 4 days ago..
Not a big fan of the Incontrol App .. bit cludgy on my iPhone
In regards to the InControl Remote.. I am missing the Climate tab ? that allows to remote start the RRS

I phoned JLR and they told me that that option was pulled from the app.. which is a really bummer.. I live in Winter HELL and have to admit this was a VERY big reason I paid the $$$ for that option..

anyone have any feed back if this will be returned or why they removed it from the App

Loving the RRS - im avg 7.5-8L/100 with this torque crazy beauty

I still have the remote climate option in the app. It doesn't start the car (at least in the UK spec), just kicks off the fuel fired heater and heats up the cabin just like the remote key fob operation. Current: Volvo XC90 T8 Inscription Pro PHEV with some optionals on top

That option is missing on my app too. I don't have the option to sound the horn and flash the lights I have seen other talking about.

This option is only on the app if you had the remote heat option fitted on the car i beleive.

I have got the beep and flash option in the app too. Btw it doesn't sound the horn, just a faint beep and flashing lights. Current: Volvo XC90 T8 Inscription Pro PHEV with some optionals on top

I have the climate start option AND the beep and flash. (I have the FBH fitted).

However you have to be very close to hear the beep - it is the same quiet beep you hear when you double lock the car. Would be of no use in a large car park!

Does anyone else find that InControl Remote app takes a very long time to update car's locked/unlocked and alarm set/not set status or is it just me? Fuel, range, odometer and location are loaded very quickly but the locking status etc. is very slow. Also, trying to lock/unlock or using beep and flash takes ages and most of the time fails. Current: Volvo XC90 T8 Inscription Pro PHEV with some optionals on top

How odd that the majority of the posters here have different results ..
I have the beep and flash.. But its loud enough to hear.. Well if your in the near vicinity..
I never heard of the Fuel Fired Heater.. Did not even see it as an option.. Maybe if that is missing .. We don't get the option.. Then again JLR said they pulled that option away.. At least in North America..

I hope they get that it sometime get to -40c here..

The fuel fired heater is normally only an option on diesel models. It also used to be fitted to all diesels regardless of whether the owner specified the remote climate option. Now, however, it isn't standard fit and cars without it can take a very long time to warm up on cold days.

I'm not sure if LR even offer the FBH on petrol models on the latest cars - they used to on the L322 that's for sure but it wasn't popular.

I have the FBH on my 5.0 S/C so it is available on the petrol cars  2014.5 Mariana Black 5.0 Supercharged V8 Autobiography

I stand to be corrected here but in certain markets the Cold Climate Pack is standard and includes the remote heat option, maybe Land Rover thinks that all of North America has Florida type weather all winter............. 2020 Pangea Green 1st Edition D240 New Defender 110 is here and loving it

Remote/Timed Heater and Climate doesn't appear to be an option in NA. It is available on petrol cars - I have it on my SVR. 

Guys do you ever get a message on the smartphone to say that the car is slow to respond when you have this problem? I sometimes get this if a) the car doesn't have a clear phone horizon (parked in a garage/ carpark or under trees or near high buildings) b) when it is parked out on my drive with no obstructions and the phone signal has reduced from 3g to GPRS. InControl doesn't like borderline phone signals either at the car or the phone, it seems to require a very good 3g/4g signal to work well in my experience. 2020 Pangea Green 1st Edition D240 New Defender 110 is here and loving it

Anyone know what network LR use for their sims?

As far as I know InControl is not 4G either sadly. Also I haven't tried the wifi hotspot yet is there a trial sim included and can anyone recommend a good one at the moment?
