    Mobile Phones.

    Can anyone give me a quick update with regards too the maximum number of mobile phones that can be paired up to the car with regards to the LR In control apps.??

    Is it just a case of 1 mobile phone being linked as the primary holder of the account ??

    I am hoping too pair at least 4 mobiles.

    I have 2 phones, 1 personal and 1 for work, as does my wife.

    Hence i want too know will i have to carry both phones in the car all the time or just one.

    Rather just carry the one phone if possible .

    Cheers

    The manual does not say how many, but I would guess it is a minimum of 4.

    I would expect it to look for phones in order of the most recent connected, not a primary one?

    So if only phone in the car then no problem, but if several phones then it would select the most recent?

    A test is probably the only way to prove it!!

    Thanks for that Jim Thumbs Up

    It was more for doing stuff like starting the car up on a cold day, setting the heater temperatures and folding the seats etc.

    Last thing i want is my kids messing about with the settings Rolling with laughter

    RR,

    If it's the apps for starting the car and folding the seats etc, then the answer is 'infinite' !

    You log into a web based account so any number of phones with the app downloaded can be used as that then allows you to access the relent account.

    Mrs Scrumps and I have separate accounts for the the RRS AB and the D5 and can access both from any of our phones or iPads with the relevant log-in.

    Scrumps - how do you get the same car on two accounts? Mrs F and I set up separate accounts but when I try to add the D5 it tells me it's associated with another account already. It works if I use Mrs F's email and password on my phone but it seems your version is more elegant.

    Stuart,

    You can access more than one car on a single account....if it's initially set up that way....I believe.

    We have 2 cars and 2 accounts. I log in as SWMBO to work the D5 , she logs in as me to work the RRS.

    It's based on e-mail addresses and we each have one of those for separate traffic!!!

    That's probably the same way you are working, but that wasn't RR's exam question! Very Happy
