Hi everybody
I have had my P250 for a couple of weeks now.
One question that has been haunting me is
"How does the Jaguar Remote App communicate with the car?"
On day one I connected the car to my home wifi and thought the apps was using that connection to get the current status of the car (doors locked/unlocked etc)
Then when the car was at Jaguar getting the Apple CarPlay upgrade, and far away from my home wifi, I was still able to get the status of the car. I could see the bonnet and door were open and the geographical location of the car. I guessed that it had connected to Jaguars wifi in the workshop. I resisted the temptation to click the "Beep and Flash" 😁 while the technician was working on it.
Then I bought a data sim and installed it in the car. Turning off wifi I could still see the status of the car.
The sim expired on the weekend and the remote app is still working with no wifi or 4G sim connection.
Can someone please explain how the Jaguar Remote app knows if a door or window is open.
BTW Apple CarPlay is fantastic! Google maps and Spotify are now my constant companions. If you haven't upgraded yet I strongly recommend it.
With Apple CarPlay working I don't see a strong case for a data sim in the console.
Cheers
John
