    Incontrol secure (think ts now called protect) is an additional subscription based service which monitors the cars location. if it is stolen it notifies you and (i think) the fuzz. This is separate to incontrol remote and remote premium which allow remote monitoring of the cars status such as fuel levels, remote heating door locking etc plus also the add on of route planning, live traffic monitoring, route logging etc. I can sit in the house and use the LR route planner app to sort out my journey. When i get in the car it talks to the phone and knows wher I want to go etc.

    I have purchased a 25GD SIM from three valid for 24 months. Cost £34. Popped it into the sim slot in the cubby allowing satellite view and street view on the sat nav plus also (if I turn it on) my car becomes a local hot spot for occupants.

    All said I’m actually impressed with the Connectivity, functions and ease of all this.

    Pasted these for my incontrol log in pages which I hope helps…

    REMOTE PREMIUM
    Land Rover Remote Premium upgrades you from the Remote Essential Smartphone App with a set of features which allow you to remotely interact with your vehicle. Land Rover Remote Premium app will allow you to find your car in a crowded car-park by using the map function with the added benefit of remote Beep and Flash. You can also remotely lock or unlock your vehicle and precondition the cabin (may not be available on all vehicles) to a comfortable temperature ahead of time.

    PROTECT
    You’ll find Land Rover Protect makes life easier when it really counts.

    The Remote Essential Smartphone App lets you prepare for a trip by checking fuel levels and range remotely. You can find your vehicle in a crowded car park and check if you have left doors or windows open. You can also download your journeys to assist in claiming business mileage expenses.

    The SOS Emergency Call will bring the emergency services to the exact location of the vehicle and in the unlikely event of a breakdown, the Optimised Land Rover Assistance will use GPS and vehicle health information to minimise delay.

    Note: Mobile network connectivity and vehicle position accuracy cannot be guaranteed in all locations.

    PRO SERVICES
    Land Rover Pro Services adds a suite of connectivity features to your infotainment system including Live and an in-car Wi-Fi hotspot. Connectivity for these is provided by a SIM card which is inserted in the SIM card slot in your vehicle. Please see your vehicle handbook for more information.

    Connected Navigation services supplied by Land Rover can be managed directly at www.landrover.here.com

    Thank you all for your input.
    I actually got to go and see the 2019 HSE LUX today. Very nice car, but with a couple of concerns. There was black paint spottled on the plastic grille, and it was like something had melted it in places. Also the passenger rear door seemed to drop a bit when opened. Inside was mint, and engine sounded nice.
    BUT, there was another Discovery there with steps on it. This was only the 3rd time out for my wife since coming out of hospital. As i explained earlier, she had to have emergency surgery on her spine. Which went wrong, and a 2nd emergency surgery was needed. She then got hospital pneumonia on top.
    Anyway, it has left her learning how to walk again, and with a severe weakness on her left leg.
    She tried to get into the one with steps, and unfortunately couldn't. She made several attempts, but still no. So as she did like the car so much, we are going to try again when her rehabilitation is further along. So we will have one eventually, just that we will have to put it on hold for a couple of months.
    So i will be watching all your posts, and you will let you all know when i have made a purchase.
    Thanks again.
