Hi,
I have an L&K, but this is a standard phev feature as far as I know.
Remote heating/cooling works from the app if the battery is above 20%. You can set a desired temp, it starts for 20 minutes, but can be also cancelled from the app.
You also have additional options from the car:
- configure if remote heating should also turn on seat heating/cooling, steering wheel heating and to what level.
- you can schedule the preheating if you have fixed schedule
- you can start the thing manually without having to keep the car on ignitation from the main screen(I used it when I had to take a long meeting from the car)
I hope this helps your decision! In general I am very happy with the car, but I am a bit puzzled why cant I control remotely the windows, trunk and sunroof as they are all just electronic devices like the locks. My main usecase would be to let the hot air out on the roof before precoolong, or leave it open, but if rain comes close it remotely. I had a colleague who watched his XC90 get filled up water from the top of the mountain he went hiking. Such feature would have saved his car. Or you know, auto closing if rain is detected π
