iSMART app v1.1.2 available

[WonkoTheSaneUK]

Mine still reports it as being at next door's address, but since it's parked only about a metre from the boundary line between the two properties, I'll forgive it.

Mine usually reports as being the house across the street.

Maybe if you drive around the block, both ways, like calibrating the accelerometers on a phone by waving it in a figure-8?

I got the 87C internal temperature reading again today, and for once I believe it. (I should really have put the car in the garage to spare it from being fried.)

Well, it always used to work. Today I can't turn on aircon remotely.

iSmart switches on the Aircon in my Trophy. Adjusted the temperature down because it has sat in sun all day.

Oh, I think I'm experiencing this: scheduled cabin preheat? - seems it won't preheat if it's plugged in but the charge has finished. Poor.

Some people are reporting this is fixed in an update.

I notice that the option to update the app from the app itself still doesn't work (Android), you still have to update from Google Play Store.

 

[Barbette]

There is an option in the iOS version, My Profile -> About -> Update, which then says the App is up to date, which it is, I suppose I’ll need to wait for the next update to find out if it actually works.

Just upgraded app to v1.1.2 on iPhone - nice that you don't now need to reenter PIN within the HVAC menu for every change.

I've been able to pre heat/cool the car while plugged in and not charging since last update at dealers recently. I hope this app update doesnt break that, will try tonight.

I don't know if iOS version is the same as the Android version but on Android the update feature doesn't work in the app. You have to update it in the app store.

This odd not uncommon, had the same issues with my old company As BMW andthat Skoda.

Better use find my car or similar app.

Question. How would anyone know to do this if it wasn't for people on this forum telling them?

Every time with mine when turning on AC from the app: FAILURE: The remote control function failed, please try again later (40)

Everything else works and I can interrogate the car for other data.

I get that when charging cable is plugged in and not charging. Only time I’ve seen it though.

Thanks, that is likely it then, I have it plugged in, in the garage.

So in effect, an idiotic bug ? as you cannot control the AC if the car is hooked up. So I could not initiate a cool-down, or heat up, of the interior because it's plugged in !

This is a well known and much discussed issue affecting almost all users. Cannot pre heat/cool while plugged in NOT charging. If actively charging then it works. I have always had the same error until updates at the dealer performed week before last and then for the first time it worked. Recommend to ask dealer for update as it appears to be fixed on my vehicle since they updated.

Oooh, sounds good, what was updated exactly, the infotainment system ?

Not the infotainment. Various updates applied including the BMS but I don’t have the exact details. I had booked it in for other issues but I raised this glitch again (I’ve been hounding them for the 9 months I’ve had the car for a fix) so they had this fault on the job sheet. Lo and behold, 1st time ever it works! I’ve also just tested with the V1.1.2 app update on iPhone and it is working still

I know for me I regularly check the App Store for updates. It automatically finds updates for all the apps on my phone and I can choose which to install, or just do them all at once.

Sorry, that was a typo

It's the 80s looking digits when it's scanning the car for faults that I can't stand. Maybe it's intentional for effect but it's just not cool.
