Incontrol Route Planner doesn't work
Part of buying a car of this sort of price, is that you expect every nice little thing that you are paying for to work. Ok theres always the odd thing that comes with a new vehicle, but when it comes down to the tech, most of its already been used in previous models.
I've been trying to get the Incontrol Route Planner to work for the past 6 weeks and Land Rover 'customer service' are so crap!
I've registered and created an account, however it is totally impossible to add my car to my account! I get to the point where it gives you the option to add it, I put in my VIN number and it comes back with the correct details, however when I press the button to confirm this, it tells me i've added the car but it doesn't show up. Then I select maps and services and it tells me I don't have a car related to my account! Arrrg!!
I've tried to email Land Rover and have had a few useless emails from a customer services guy there, but all he does is tell me its being looked at... After 6 weeks still no update!
I've tried different browsers in case that was the problem, i've even tried it from my iPhone, but its exactly the same, so the website is the issue.
I guess people who already have a car assigned to their account won't have the problems? Let me ask those people, is this functionality actually worth it? -

I have forgotten the setup process but it is worth sorting out.
I use it all the time to send destinations from my laptop using Chrome browser.
Also it is the gateway to downloading map updates which seem to come out every 3 months. -

thanks for the info, so it would seem that its definitely something I need to get working.
i've tried Chrome, Firefox and Safari, but they are all the same.
I wouldn't mind just giving the Land rover guy my VIN number and get him to add it, but it would seem he's not willing to do that.
I'll just have to keep chasing! -

I am trying to remember if part of the process was logging in from the car? -

Yeah, tried that too!
I tried it then from my phone whilst in the car, but it says that it cannot find details of the car. Again it seems that the car hasn't been added to my account.

I use it and it is worth having as you can look at routes and so on on your pc and they are ready in the vehicle. is it as good as google maps? probably not .
I do seem to recall the initial login process was painful, Unfortunately I cannot recall the process either

Mine does not work either.
The delivery boy at the dealer set it all up when i picked it up and it seemed to work... until i tried it on my own the next day.
At first it would keep saying my car was at the dealership and i needed to walk there to then follow Sta-Nav directions.
Then i thought i had cleared the issue and used it once for a short trip.
But now, for the past month at least, it says the car is parked on the motorway and to walk to it to then follow Sat-Nav directions.
I've given up on the Route Planner. Browser version shows the exact same thing.
Still trying the Remote app every day, but that's not going in the right direction either.
I wrote an extensive review of the apps here
https://disco5.co.uk/forum/thread404.html
At the price Land Rover sell their vehicles one would expect the majority of the tech to somewhat work. Well, it should actually ALL work 100% at this price. Considering cars worth less than half what i paid have better and flawless tech, I am not impressed whatsoever by Land Rover on that front.
Feel like they are using us as the beta testers for them, same as Microsoft does. But at least MS has updates to patch all the holes in their system. Land Rover put out an update of the Remote and nothings changed.
Ok, enough ranting
Don't mean to take over your thread

PM me your email address and I'll send you the PDF of the instruction manual...
Try and do it tonight - I'm off to Sydney in the morning.
I've cut & pasted all the info but it's not very readable.
I think you may be having issues getting the car to link to the account or activate - see section 2b.

2. REGISTER, CONNECT AND ACTIVATE
What are the stages of setting up an InControl account?
There are three steps to setting up an account on InControl.
1. Register with a User Account
2. Connect the User Account to an InControl capable vehicle
3. Activate InControl services for the vehicle
Is it my responsibility to perform this process?
Once the vehicle is delivered to the retailer, the retailer will call you to arrange a date for collection. The
retailer most probably will pre-register you, connect your vehicle to the account and support you with
the activation process whilst you are still at the retailer premises.
To finish the process, please click on the single use link from the InControl email sent by your retailer
which takes you to the My InControl website and follow the simple steps indicated on the screen. Please
see section 2c for assistance. If you have not received the activation email from your retailer, please
check your Spam folder or contact your retailer.
Can I perform this process myself?
You may prefer to register, connect and activate your InControl services at home without the assistance
of the retailer. Other circumstances such as purchasing a used vehicle outside of the retailer network
may require self-activation of InControl services.
How long does the entire process take?
The process should take no longer than 15 minutes provided the vehicle is nearby in an area of good
mobile network connectivity. It is recommended that once you complete the Register step, you complete
the Connect and Activate steps in the same sitting.
What do I need to complete the process?
Access to the internet and an active email account.
The last 8 characters of your Vehicle Identification Number (VIN), which you will find on the
left-hand side of the windscreen or in the vehicle handbook.
Your vehicle parked outside and close by in an area with good mobile network connectivity.
The registration number to hand.
What if I sign out during the process?
If for any reason you sign out during the InControl set up process (e.g. closes web browser), upon

7. INCONTROL SECURE / SECURE TRACKER
What is InControl Secure/Secure Tracker?
InControl Secure is a seamless and secure stolen vehicle tracker which safeguards your vehicle more
than ever before, giving you greater peace of mind. If someone breaks into - or moves - your vehicle
illegally, InControl Secure keeps you one step ahead. You are alerted and the InControl Stolen Vehicle
Tracking Centre then assists in recovering your vehicle as soon as possible.
What is Transport Mode and how do I enable it?
This feature prevents automatic theft notifications from being sent by the Telematics Control Unit when
the vehicle is moved while the engine is off. It is therefore only available for customers that have an
active InControl Secure subscription.
Note: All other automatic theft notifications will remain active e.g. battery disconnected or window break.
You are responsible for enabling this mode when the vehicle is being transported (for example when
the vehicle is being towed or transported by train or ferry).
Once enabled, Transport Mode will be active for up to 72 hours only* and will be automatically disabled
when this time has elapsed. If the vehicle is being transported for more than 72 hours, you will have to
reactivate Transport Mode.
If the vehicle has been transported in less than the set time, you must disable Transport Mode in order
to be able to use the InControl Secure service. You can manually disable Transport Mode at any time.
Transport Mode can be enabled and disabled from the InControl Remote Smartphone App, the “My
InControl” website, or by calling the stolen vehicle tracking provider. Retailers are not able to enable
this mode.
What is Service Mode and how do I enable it?
This feature prevents automatic theft notifications from being generated when the telematics control
unit (TCU) detects a theft event and is only available for customers that have an active InControl Secure
subscription.
Note: Once Service Mode is enabled, all the automatic theft notifications will be deactivated.
You are responsible for enabling this feature when you send the car for service at a retailer.
12
Once enabled, Service Mode will be active for up to 72 hours only* and will be automatically disabled
when this time has elapsed.
If the vehicle is being serviced for more than 72 hours, you will have to reactivate the mode.
If the vehicle has been serviced in less than the set time, you must disable Service Mode in order to be
able to use the InControl Secure service. You can manually disable Service Mode at any time.
Service Mode can be enabled and disabled from the InControl Remote Smartphone App, the “My
InControl” website, or by calling the stolen vehicle tracking provider. Retailers are not able to enable
this mode.
* Please note that Transport Mode and Service Mode can only be enabled for 10 hours from the Remote
Smartphone App at the moment.
What happens if my car is stolen?
If you have an active InControl Secure subscription you will be presented with a theft notification screen
when an automatic theft alert has been generated for one of the vehicles connected to your account.
You should immediately contact the stolen vehicle tracking provider. All the features of the “My
InControl” website will be automatically disabled for security purposes.
How do I access my insurance certificate?
InControl Secure is Thatcham accredited (CAT 6), a UK quality standard for stolen vehicle tracking
systems. The Thatcham security testing regime is considered to be one of the most rigorous in the
world and acts as a benchmark for crime prevention measures internationally.
Thatcham CAT 6 is recognised by major insurers and may allow you to get a premium discount.
You can view and print the certificate of Thatcham compliance by clicking on the “View Certificate” link
on the right side of the vehicle dashboard page. -

Thanks for that info.
Now my InControl Remote works fine. I've managed to see where my car is and start and stop the climate control in the morning to warm up the car. So thats fine.
Obviously the route planner side is a separate website, it would be so much easier if it were the same! -

I would like to stress that Route planner uses its own login, distinct from the InControl account Remote & Landrover InControl web portal at incontrol.landrover.com use. So you have to register a new distinct* account on landrover.here.com first (iirc you can register directly from the car). It took me several failed attempts to sign it with the InControl Services credentials to figure this out.
* to be completely clear, the Route Planner account can have the same username and password as your InControl Services account, but you have to set up this account separately, your existing InControl account won't sign you in. -

Yeah I understood that thanks.
So the latest from Land Rover CRC is that its now fixed at last. And indeed I have tried to connect my vehicles VIN to my account.... And I can!
Checked out the route syncing and that works too!
Plus I have the option to download the latest map if I wanted to (but the same as my current map version, so don't need to). -

Vehicle data connectivity via WiFi
So I have my vehicle set up to automatically connect to my home WiFi, where presumably it gets updates, because everything seems to be updated and I don't do anything to make that happen.
And that got me thinking - my phone and provider allow me to use my phone as a WiFi hotspot / mobile tether. My mobile is 4G LTE, and we have way more data than we ever use even if I stream music all the time, so I think I'll give a try at having my vehicle connect to my phone's WiFi hotspot and see if it will use that connection for the data that currently comes through the vehicle's SIM card.
My free subscription runs out in two days, and it will cost $10/mo extra to add it to my AT&T mobile plan.
Has anyone tried this? -

Yes, I did. I first connected the car via my phone's hotspot, but my impression was that online services only came alive after I inserted the SIM. But take it with a pinch of salt, as at the moment I tried the hotspot connection, I might well not be signed into the navigation account yet, which is probably necessary for the connected navigation and live services to work.
