Hi Mark,
Unfortunately, InControl Apps will not be available on the current vehicles. This is separate option that will be available in the near future that will require additional hardware.
Many thanks,
Pete

Pete, I think what Mark is asking is will any updates to the InControl App be available to existing users whenever there are system updates - both he and I have InControl and both of us have the current app on our smartphones. I understand that due to the nature of the way InControl works it cannot be retro-fitted to cars not ordered with the hardware parts of the system required to make it work. I would hope that any software changes to the InControl Secure will be made free of charge to existing users though............... LR is one of the few companies today that refuses to provide courtesy updates to things like satnav maps and other software - this is actually putting customers off buying LR products and itreally is time that JLR came into the 21st century with software updating. The cost of an update disk from Land Rover for a satnav is iniquitous and most of us feel like we are being robbed - not a good situation for LR and it's dealerships. A satnav update should be provided free in this day and age when we can use online mapping to provide routing instead of using an out-dated map in a satnav.

Agreed, I have to say that £200 just for a set of maps on a USB disk does make you feel robbed, especially when maps data is so readily available and most smartphone apps offer free half-yearly or yearly updates. I can see a time when I won't use the in car nav and will just have to use my phone.

Hi Tim,
With regards to the InControl Remote App on current vehicles, any updates or changes to the software or application will be provided.
I do appreciate your comments regarding the Sat Nav and this is one of the reasons for the new direction regarding InControl systems.
Many thanks,
Pete

In-Control now cannot be added to 2014MY orders.
I was considering adding it to mine along with TPMS - my last change date is 30th April. However both the dealer and LR have said no more changes to 2014MY vehicles except colour and wheel styles.
So what is 2015MY, am I awaiting a vehicle which will be obsolete even before delivery?. Cancellation is looking to be the best option, the new Audi TT is looking evermore interesting.
