Always glad to contribute to a laugh :-)

We have now released the documentation for the new Extended Features of the "Outlander PHEV SMS Remote" App, and the new Free "Outlander PHEV SMS Utility" App. We hope publish the new Apps on Google Play tomorrow. The new version of the "Outlander PHEV SMS Utility" App will be a Free Upgrade...

Thanks for the support guys! Take a look at www.autoapps.no now to get a sneak peak at the new FREE features that I hope to release next week!

Well my App will try to turn on the heat, but the Mitsubishi App may not start the heat if the Power is too low and no Charge Cable is connected!

@Anko <<From this you would not expect the engine to be preheated by the electrical heater. Consequently, whether or not the engine starts when the A/C is funded off, should not depend on wether you have pre heated or not.>> Theory is one thing. Practical testing shows something quite...

@Anko: Well, I did not buy a NEW €43.000 car to freeze in winter time! I have been riding uncomfortable enough times with my old American Van. Also your statement is incorrect: If the temperature drops below -5 deg C, the ICE will start if the car is not Preheated. Preheating also warms the...

Thanks for feedback: I can now att the LG L20 to the list of Tested Phones :-). A small phone is good: When I leave the car, I hide the phone in my secret place, where any intruder probably not look for anything. I will get back to why this may be important with my Free Addon's later.

Yep, it's expensive to be equipped these days :D . I rather not say anything about the Free Features yet, in case something does not work out the way I want. There are quite a few challenges on the Android Platform. Finishing coding this weekend, testing and bug fixing early next week. Hope...

@Snowball, Do I dare to ask you what brand phone you are using in the car? Trying to make a list of tested phones.

Yes, you have understood the use and savings scenarios perfectly. This is exactly how I use the App as well! Today I was on a trip some 30 km from home where there was a free charge point. I went for a trip with my son, and sent #Heat#30 to the car phone when I started om my way back, and knew...

I updated the above answer to HarryP.

The app really helps on economy for short trips < 10 km (6 miles). If not preheated for 20-30 minutes, the Internal Combustion Engine (ICE) will kick in for most of the trip. A petrol engine is very uneconomical until it gets warm (low efficiency). Thus, for e.g. a 3 km (2 miles) trip, the Fuel...

It will help you save gas by preheating the car from wherever you are. I think you will save more than the App costs. This is a low volume app when you consider the target audience: There is no way we can charge £1 like the apps with downloads in the hundreds of thousands! There will also be...

I have now set up a discussion and support forum here: groups.google.com/forum/#!forum/outlander-phev-sms-remote New FREE exciting add-on features for the "Outlander PHEV SMS Remote App" will be announced shortly.
