I just purchased my first Jaguar, a 2017 Jaguar XJL (Supercharged) w/ LOW MILES (18,599) AND two years still left on the factory warranty. I've been trying to take in as much as I can with the many features this automobile offers. It's a little overwhelming, but looking forward to learning everything there is to know.

I'm trying to decide which IOS App (Apple) I should be using for remote features. The Apple App Store has two Jaguar Remote apps: Jaguar InControl Remote and Jaguar Remote. I'm wondering which one everyone is using? Quite honestly, I don't understand the reasoning for two apps that are almost identical in function / features. I've got both downloaded, which probably isn't ideal (or needed). Hoping for some insight as to which is the preferred app to be using.

Thanks for the replies

 

The new one is just called Jaguar Remote (it is the one with the rounded corners on the Google Play store, not sure about the Apple store though).
I don't know why the older app is still being offered for download as I thought it was no longer receiving updates.

 

Could be for people with old iPhones and thus IOS versions the new app can’t plug into.

 

If people want to find where you live, they will. If I get your keys, I just throw a phone in into a corner of the car and leave your keys with the car. Then I track the phone to your house and take whatever I want. So if you are worried about home security, secure your house, don't worry about people finding out where it it.

As for the original problem, does the nav system in the car show the accurate location? If so, then, as the previous person mentioned, try the newest app and see if that works right.

 

I have both apps on phone, they pretty do the same thing, remote is aesthetically more modern, i also have an apple watch and found you need the legacy app in order to use the features on your watch, so if you have apple watch , you need both. The legacy one just sits in background and makes app available on watch, i use the newer remote app daily for remote climate.

 

Hello everyone! I just purchased a 2019 XJL and wanted to use the incontrol app but it doesn't allow me to connect. I went online to do everything and was able to login but I don't see anywhere that I can add my car. Any help is appreciated.

Thanks
