I'm impatiently awaiting my car to be built and in the meantime doing lots of reading, watching endless videos etc.
So, Remote Start...
Can I accidentally start the car while I'm 200 miles away on my sailboat and connected to the internet?
Is it Bluetooth or Wifi ?
Thanks.

 

The remote start via the incontrol app first requires you to login then to verify any selection (unlock or start) with a personalised pin code.

So i reckon your chances of doing it by accident are limited

Saying that, even if it is switched on and the app looses connection i think the engine only stays on for a max of 30 mins and the door can stay unlocked for a max of 45 seconds.

App works with internet connectivity so can therefore start from anywhere where there is internet access.

Hope this helps!

 

Thanks for that. Still a worry that it can be done deliberately. Must remember not to demonstrate the facility while I'm miles away from my car.

 

even if you do which is slim to happen by accident, it has a a 30 min timer on it

 

The doors receive a lock command before the engine starts. You have little to worry about. Also, after a period of time in standby, I think 5 days, the incontrol radio in the car goes to sleep and cannot be woken remotely.

 

The car would be under its cover in the garage, that's long enough to start a fire.
I will be very careful with that app!

 

fair enough but trust me when I saw you can't do it by accident you need to enter a pin number to start it and even if you go in and see the motor on you can remotely turn it off
