I've just bought a GX4hs 2015 PHEV and there are so many questions I have. Been reading through the forum and already learned a bit.
My first question is about the remote App.
First, there appear to be two apps in the apple app store "Outlander PHEV" and "Outlander PHEV II", does it matter which one I use?
I've tried connecting (registering) the Outlander II app to the car but it won't work, I get the "beep" after pressing th key fob but nothing seems to happen. Also, it now says I've connected the maximum number of devices so how do I de-register devices to start again?
Once I've de-registered, are there any tips on how to make it work.
Also about charging cables?
I'm currently using a standard 13 Amp socket on the outside of the garage and this seems to work fine, although a little concerned so many people talk about getting cables stolen. I'm speaking to Chargemast about getting a home charge unit but thinking whether it is really worth it as I'll rarely need to fully charge it in less than 5 hours. Any thoughts on this welcome.
I've downloaded the Open charge App and for many of the locations it says "membership required." Can anyone tell me membership of what?
I'm looking at buying a seperate cable to use public charge points as I understand they don't usually have cables attached. Any advice on what to buy and how much I should pay?
I'm a bit dissapointed that something as simple as charging is proving so complicated and dealers provide so little information before buying. I'd have also thought that two things were obvious to encourage take up of EVs would be:
1) a standard charging format and
2) manufacturers providing the cables needed with the vehicle
I'm sure I'm going to have loads of questions as there seems to be so much to learn about this car. Thanks in advance for any answers to the above.
