Agreed! The new Remote App is way easier, and I much prefer the new layout. My mom has a 2023 RX 350h, and the Lexus app is, in my opinion, clunky and difficult to use.

Lock reminders have been working for me since I purchased the vehicle last July. I have yet to use Guardian Mode in the new app, but I plan to use it when I go on vacation next month.

 

Agreed that the updated app is much better, but most of the time I still wish there was a remote start button on the key.

 

Has anyone in the EU done a GDPR records request to see what data JLR is collecting through both the vehicle and the app?

 

There was a post by someone in CA that did a FOIA and posted what JLR said they had. Sorry, my search is failing me, so I can't find it to link to.

 

I guess I am either a lone wolf or just an old dufus, but I would really like to enter my destination address in th3 remote app rather than in the vehicle.

 

BMW app supports this and it’s so much faster. Totally agree.

 

Right, there are so many ways to perform a function these days on our tablets, smart phones, and watches each of us gets used to a method and it becomes ingrained but I like to point out to others in my circle of friends that it seems very few people use voice commands. It does get tedious entering an address using the touch screen, both on our mobile devices and in the vehicle, but you also have the option of using the Voice Command button on the steering wheel. The list of controls you can access is fairly long, such as changing the fan speed and the temperature of the Climate Control, or asking it to navigate you to your destination. Or on the PIVI screen when the keyboard screen pops up in Navigation one can press the microphone icon instead of tapping out all those numbers and letters. I got so tired of trying to enter reminders, appointments, alarms, timers, etc with large fingers attempting to hit the correct tiny letter on the iPhone keyboard that I use Siri for just about everything. Somewhere there is a complete list of the available Voice Commands for the Defender. Haven’t found it yet during my recent searches, but I will post it when I locate it.

 

Please do. That would be very helpful

 

Simon over at PowerfulUK has a video about Pivi pro voice commands: He also made a spreadsheet of the available commands with Pivi and Alexa and Apple Carplay: Pivi Pro Voice Commands Hope that was what you were looking for @WTFChuck

 

👍 That is exactly what I was looking for. I had watched that video when Simon posted it, and I went in search of the spreadsheet laying out all of the various Voice Commands. They are quite extensive and show that you can control a lot of functions without taking your hands off the wheel or eyes off the road. And with the wake up word you don’t even have to look down at the wheel to make sure your thumb is in the right spot to activate the Voice Control. Thanks for locating that.
