How To Put Your Land Rover Defender into SERVICE MODE Using The Incontrol Phone App

[@aandmt79]

I have InControl on my disco 4 but it does not work! Simon, could you produce a video about In Control, what is for, and can it be retro fitted?? Keep up the good work

[@HQBProductions]

It might have expired as you do need to renew it every year after the initial period when the car was new. Also check that you have the latest app…as Simon shows on the screen, the old apps do not work now but you can download the new one easily. 🙂🙂🙂

Simon…a brave man as always…..but now brave with cold fingers out in that French barn….good luck with that indeed!!!😀😀😀😀

@@HQBProductions Landrover have informed me my vehicle was not fitted with the Hardware necessary for In Control? What hardware? so why do I have the option on my dash screen?

[@HQBProductions]

@@aandmt79 Maybe if your car is a very early D4 then perhaps the infotainment system was not built to accept it? I’m not sure when it started but it was certainly on my 2017 D/Sport. We need Simons expertise in accessing the system in your car….it might be in there just as many “X” pack features were there but not enabled on The Stig which is a basic S pack. I have full Windsor heated and cooled seats but not massage however when fumbling through the menu, I did once find a massage option that was not enabled but I have never found it again. See if Simon has any bright ideas.🤔🤔🙂

Simon, is this only applicable if you have LR's Secure Tracker? When I bought my 110 in 2020 (like your Stig), Secure Tracker was a cost option, whereas now they include 1 year for new vehicles (AFAIK).

Not sure - I though this was a feature on all cars so you can sort of "leave the door open" for adding keys etc - as you will see in my next video it is a kind of essential feature when you want to add a key or activity watch.

Does the dealer have the ability to put it into service mode? So for example if I forget to do this before a dealer visit.. they can do it themselves, I'm guessing?

[@L663]

Good question Ben - yes they can do this with their software.

[@supercrazysane]

❤ Random curiosity question, my Def X 90 doesn’t have the fog lights - does yours ? (I see there are some 3rd party options coming to the market).

[@L663]

Wow that was fast ! I am in France playing with the Range Rover Classic !

[@stevenburnsvideo]

You’re going to think I am joking, but I wonder if Service Mode draws on the battery less? In other words, could it be a semi-camping mode? (Yes, I am slightly obsessed with this issue)

[@L663]

I can assure you I am more obsessed with the battery drain ! wait till you see my upcoming video where my battery goes flat and the new 90 throws it toys out the pram ! It would be worth a try but i dont think it will make a difference. As soon is I am back from France fixing the RR Classic I will take a look !

I think the title to this vlog should be "How NOT to put your Land Rover Defender into SERVICE MODE....." 😛

[@L663]

Fair point - I make the mistakes so you guys dont !

[@WUBtile]

I miss cars with less electronics

[@catsaretasty]

😢 buy a car with less electronics

[@MarkJThrelfall]

This guy is winging it... Great comedy value..

[@L663]

Winging it more than you can imagine !

[@MarkJThrelfall]

Fair play mate

Another good video 🚗🚙🚘👍👍👍⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

[@CrueLoaf]

I left my Evoque on my drive for a week when I went to Australia. One night the car had a fit..alarm went off and I got a phone call in Australia saying my car was being stolen! I rang my neightbour who told me car hadn't moved and was still blocked-in by my partners Fiesta! :) The moral of this story...big trouble when the battery runs down!!!

[@L663]

Wait till you see the mes my New Defender 90 got into when its battery went flat - look out for this video over the weekend.

[@karriem3261]

I have a 2019 velar. I don't see this on the app

[@L663]

It should be on the app for the Velar - do you have the white background Remote app ?

[@karriem3261]

Yes white background but no service mode.

[@karriem3261]

And why you don't do videos on the Velar? What it's not part of the family. Lol

[@L663]

My budget wont stretch to all cars and Land Rover wont loan me one ! The Velar is a great car... one day....

Boom Boom!!
