    2017 Discovery TDV6 HSE Aintree Green

    FBH and incontrol App

    Downloaded and registered the Apps. Most work including remote start and temp set. I have FBH fitted but cant find how to operate it via App. Literature suggests it can be. Any suggestions.

    FBH isn't controlled by the app.

    It's only controlled by the timed climate settings on the touch screen and by the little black remote fob.

    Thanks jonM.. So I guess I set all the parameters via cars touch screen and then activate with fob, Seems a bit daft having to carry 2 fobs when more technical tasks can be carried out via app. Do you know what range the fob has.

    In the cold season, when you press the "climate" button on the "Remote Climate" tab in the inControl Remote App it does turn on the heater, sometimes it loses connectivity but most of the times it works as promoted.

    Just make sure the fob is paired with the car mine wasn’t when I collected it !


    You can set the heat setting on the app on your phone mine is set to high temp and then just turn on the fob mine has a range of well over 100 metres ish

    The settings on the app only control the temperature if you remote start the engine.

    The FBH can't have a temperature set. All you can do is start it with the timer or start and stop it with the little black remote fob. If it's a cold day (less than 16C I seem to remember) it warms the car to a comfortable temperature and on a warm day (more than 16C I seem to remember) it will just use the fans without the FBH to ventilate the car.

    My app doesn't have a "climate" button, just an "engine start" button.

    That's what you get. Set temp target and start engine. It will run for 30 mins to cool or heat the interior.

    The original question was about the FBH which is a separate option and heats the interior without running the engine.
