Check the options, there is a facility somewhere to wake it up.

Yes I have seen the wake up feature on the app but you can only set a day when you want the car to wake up so you can use the remote heating. Ok if you know which day you will use the car. I have a van I use as my Dailey driver so sometimes won’t use the Range Rover for 2 or 3 weeks. If I could wake the car up on the day I was going to use it would be good but you can’t wake it up on the same day for some reason, it only gives you the next day onwards as an option. On my last RRS I had a separate fob for the remote heating and was fantastic. Could use it anytime you wanted and never ever failed to work unlike the app operated version where sometimes you press start on the remote heating app then it waits a few minutes until it connects to the car and then sometimes never connects and says there is an error but you don’t realize until you get in the car and it’s cold. Give me the separate fob to work this any day….. |

Do you actually have the FBH on your car?

Yes it has the FBH fitted to the car from new. I assume that if I bought the remote by itself it would not work as I assume it would need the receiver unit to work it. When I bought the car 4 years ago I questioned where the remote heating fob was as I knew I had the remote heating fitted. They assured me they don’t come with the newer shape RRS and it’s all done via an app on your phone which it does. |

Mine is a 2015 reg but 2016 MY. I don’t have the separate fob, I use the Land Rover app on the remote climate bit. Can you use yours on the app too? |

That i could not tell you as i purchased it used but like yours is a 2015 but 2016 build spec, mine is a sdv8 so i think the fbh is standard on those |

Mines the SDV6 so maybe that’s the difference then as I think the FBH is standard on the SDV8. |

Just looked at my topix spec sheet. It states fuel burning heater and park heating with remote control as separate items. That to me says I should have a separate remote for the park heating. I’ll call the dealers over the next few days and see if they can shed any light on it. |

looks like you're running the old app, is it the same if you install the new app ? |

So I thought I’d use the wake up timer on the remote heating tonight and wake the car up tomorrow as I knew I was going to use it then got this on the app. Surely the 4 day thing on the sleep mode of the car can be altered?
