Hey Siri, Start My Car!
Hey all,
I like tinkering with everything, and I thought I'd share what I made with you.
Whether you use Siri Shortcuts or not, you can bypass the Remote app on your iPhone and start your car remotely. This isn't a hack to bypass the subscription. You still need a valid InControl subscription and the app installed on your phone. It's a reverse-engineered and more convenient way to access your car without using the official app.
I didn't like how long it took to start the car using the official app. Just too many steps. With Siri Shortcut, you don't even have to touch your phone. All you need to do is to say: "Hey Siri, Start My Car". It will only work if the remote control is activated on your InControl account. It works with any ICE Jaguar or Land Rover that supports a remote start, but I drive an XJ hence I'm posting it in this forum. It will not work if the remote start is unavailable in your country.
To get it installed on your iPhone, you need to open this page from your iPhone or simply scan the QR code with your iPhone camera and follow the configuration steps, as you will need to link the shortcut with your InControl account.
I hope you like it!

You can obviously rename it to whatever you like, ie "Get my jag warm" so then you'd say: "Hey Siri, Get my jag warm" etc 🤪
I'm just getting other actions done like lock and unlock, get the status of all doors, windows, tyre sensors, range etc etc

You can see all actions inside the Shortcut.

Update
I am so glad I ran into this forum. I have been looking for something like this for quiet a while. I do currently own a land rover so i'm not sure if thats where I may have Issues. After going through and filling out all the information and start the shortcut I get hit with a " a server with specified name could not be found" are you guys aware of a workaround for this?

please note that it's easy to delete or reorder steps without knowing so maybe that's what happened.
Alternatively, try downloading the shortcut again.
Let me know if you're still having problems. I'm sure we can sort it out.

Can you send me a screenshot of the error message?

I also have a workflow to read the stats of my car such as battery level, range, tire pressure, whether the engine is running or not and many more and I save it in an Excel spreadsheet every 30 minutes.
You should get a token returned in the notification, something like: {xxxxxxx-xxxxx-xxxxx-xxxxxxxxx}. If you do get something in REONtoken then there could be a few reasons your car would not start:
- if there's an issue with the car itself (i.e., pending DPF warning, low battery etc) or
- if windows or doors are open or
- if the car is unlocked or
- your InControl subscription expired :P

Try editing the shortcut and play it from there, see at which point it gets stuck and let me know.
