What really gooses my gander is that if I don't submit and pay $500 my Incontrol app goes away.
No more remote starting, trip stats, door lock/unlock, etc. Well, the app is not that functional, could be much more so, but I've become dependent on remote starting for both cold and hot weather and to sit out the high start-up revs.

Had my 110SE almost 3-years and so far no issues, pretty much perfect and a great drive, but I find this is akin to extortion. $500?? How could this be worth $500 a year?

 

You need the WiFi data plan for remote start, et al? Why? My BMW X3 has all those features and I’ve never paid for the data plan.

 

Took delivery of my 110X in Dec 28th of 22'. My inControl app on my phone shows my subscription for Wi-Fi Enabled with Data Plan expired on Dec 28,2022. Two years and four months in and I still have active Wi-Fi hotspot in my Defender... No emails from JLR yet.

 

If you find an answer to your "why?", please let me know.

Will talk to my LR dealership rep today and maybe get an answer.

 

The consensus at Greensboro JLR is this is a scam. If you do receive this email, probably shouldn't pay.

However, they also told me Incontrol is free while my truck is under warranty: five years. Then is around $65 per year. Must admit, I was not aware of this either.

 

I'm coming up to 3 years in another month or so. I think I'll save the $500 towards future mods. I get a lot of folks enjoy those features, but not so much for me.

 

I am confused now. Is the WiFi Enabled Data Plan required in order for the In Connect App to work? I am placing my order tomorrow and wasn't planning on adding the WiFi enabled Data Plan but definitely want to have the features of In Connect App.

 

No, I don't think the plan is required for the app to work.

I believe the wifi plan and data thing are optional and the app will work if they are not ordered.

 

I just got this email and I am prob not going to renew it if the only thing I’m going to miss is the Alexa integration.

 

If your email came from lradvice@landroverincontrolshop.com, it's likely a scam.
