Apologies for repeating my posting from another topic, but thought it might be an idea to make a list of things that JLR could consider in their development programme for the car.
It is a pity there isn't a 'like' function on the site as on another forum I belong to the software developers use the number of likes for suggestions to help them prioritise the development and enhancement of their software, a win - win as the developers get some direction and the customers have a say on what additional functionality they would like (or the developers can explain why physics and reality might hinder their ability to add the requested functionality).
Ignoring faults with and the quality of assembly of individual cars (which should all hopefully be resolved) it may be worth helping JLR by giving them an idea of what their customers feel is important for the development or improvement of the car. This might be in terms of materials used on the interior, the shape of the rear end of the production car compared to the prototype, fuel economy, larger engine with more power output, or whatever.
My 2p worth is.
Having used the remote start function on frosty mornings the thing I would like to be able to do is have the ability to turn on the heating system to its max de-mist/defrost setting with the remote app so not only would the car be toasty warm when I get in but the front and rear windscreens would also be completely clear, even when I only have a short amount of time between starting the car and wanting to drive off.
Fortunately the 3 times I have used the remote start function I had time to sit and have a coffee while I waited for it all to clear.
That said, I do like the remote start and this would be classified as a 'nice to have' if I was prioritising functionality to develop.
