Car technology is changing the way drivers interact with their vehicles, and Land Rover is leading the charge. With the Land Rover Remote app, your phone becomes a command center for your Range Rover, Defender, or Discovery. This app is part of the InControl Remote suite, giving drivers instant access to their car’s status and features from almost anywhere. Here is everything you need to know about how the app works, how to set it up, and what issues some users have reported.
The Land Rover Remote app lets you control a wide range of functions straight from your phone. You can check the remaining fuel or battery range, see dashboard alerts, and find your car’s location on a map. The app even offers walking directions to your parked vehicle. If you forget to lock the doors or close the windows, just tap the app to secure your car remotely.
One standout feature is the ability to pre-cool or pre-heat your car before you get in, making every drive more comfortable. The Beep and Flash option helps you spot your car in a crowded parking lot. With these tools, the car feels like a natural extension of your digital life.
To get started, simply download the Land Rover Remote app from the App Store or Google Play and log in with your InControl account. Make sure your car is eligible and that your InControl subscription is active. Some features depend on the subscription tier you choose, such as Protect, Remote, or Remote Premium.
The app is usually free for a limited trial period with a new car (often three years), after which you may need a paid subscription. Not every Land Rover model supports the app, so always confirm compatibility before signing up.
Some users have reported problems like delayed updates or trouble connecting the app to the car, especially in areas with poor network coverage. Also, using GPS features for long periods can drain your phone’s battery faster. For the best experience, keep your app updated and check your local dealership for support if you run into issues.
