Just checked my app and Remote Start is there. Well I never. Kinda makes the Auxiliary heater less essential although it's probably more efficient for heating but being able to run the aircon in summer will be very useful. It'll be interesting to see if you can have both Remote Start and Pre-Conditioning running at the same time (although why you'd want to...)
I guess having the doors and gearbox locked makes it safe (arguably). So who's gonna be first to use Remote Start while parked on a public road?

Wow, that is fantastic.... Just checked on my iPhone and sure enough the remote start option is there... I've tried it and it worked 2 out of 5 times, starting and stopping the car. The 2 times it didn't work I was connected from by phone via 4G, the two times it worked I was on my house WiFi. I can't see how that should make any difference, and may well not be the cause of it failing twice, but it was the only difference in situation. I also cannot do it again now, as I get the message
'Your Volvo could not be started because it was started remotely two consecutive times. You must restart with a ke....' Assume that reads key, but its truncated on my phone and I can't see the rest of the message. I'm slightly sceptical, I really do hope this feature is here to stay, but wonder if its been made available to the UK market in error. It hasn't come as a software update (I've checked and my phone has not updated the app), it must simply be a feature that can be made available to the app 'server side'. Let's keep our fingers crossed, but I wouldn't be surprised if the feature disappears again. :wq

Wonder what the car being in supervision means. Maybe if it detects you are too far away it will not work.

I've just realised another possible benefit of Remote Start. It could mean that if the electric heaters (seats, screens, etc), have been set to auto start when cold, they might come on with a Remote Start.
So having Auxiliary heating and Remote Start working together could make sense (if you're a real softy).

The addition of RES would be great. Never really understood why it wasn't available in Europe. Can anyone else confirm they can remote start their car?
Was disappointed to learn it wasn't available in Europe after playing with the demo app
