Car Key on iPhone, is it possible on Defender?
Anyone using car keynote? If so, is it safe? Safer than keyless access?

I don't know, this is outdated or obsolete, forgive me if it is due to my ignorance! 🫣😃 Defender 110 SE I6 D250 23MY

The Landrover "InControl" App used to allow you to unlock the vehicle remotely from your phone - but not start the car.

With recent security enhancements, this is no longer possible - the physical keys are coded to the vehicle.

The remote option is still visible in the App, but it doesn't work.

There is a note in the app suggesting this might be temporary, but I am thinking it'll be years rather than months before a secure remote solution is re-instated.

How strange, to this day I can still lock/unlock doors remotely from Incontrol, start the climate control, and therefore the engine too, and give acoustic signals and lights, always from “Incontrol”without any problem….I was referring more to the iPhone's own application. Defender 110 SE I6 D250 23MY

I can lock unlock my doors and start the engine on my Incontrol app. My car was brand new on Friday.

Regional / country by country issue here.

There was a somewhat recent (2024) security update that disabled certain Land Rover app functions in some countries.

Here in the USA, where I am, the app still works on our L663's (all functions: unlock/lock/remote start/beep horn/etc).
