- Locate your vehicle with directions or track its movement
- Send an address from your favorite apps to start navigation in your car
- Allow your passengers to quickly control media
- Flash lights or honk the horn to find your vehicle when parked
- Vent or close the panoramic roof
- Summon your vehicle out of your garage or a tight parking space (for vehicles with Autopilot)
- Update your vehicle software from wherever you are
- Engage with Powerwall: monitor how much energy is stored from solar, used by your home, or exported to the grid
- Download your solar production and battery usage data

Note: Powerwall features in this app require Powerwall 2

Ratings and reviews

I'll start with the only downside, that I can't see sentry clips from my phone. I have the plan to see them but I get the eternal spinning circle. That flaw only knocks it down one star though. I've found the rest very convenient and reliable: scheduled pre-conditioning, walk-away lock (the unlock on approach is a bit more spotty), remote start, charging stats and scheduling, real-time location. Overall I'm very impressed with the app.

Still using Samsung Note 10+ and some of these comments with newer phones, I don't get as many issues. Yeah, it sometimes takes a while for clips to load, and cameras don't activate or pixelated at times. It works most of the time. Sometimes, I have to awaken my device in order to unlock the door when I pull on the handle. Other than that, a great app works like the BMW App, with more features and services. So much information at your fingertips.

The app doesn't maintain a proper connection to the car. When I attempt to open the doors it doesn't recognize my phone. I have to turn off Bluetooth and turn it back on for it to detect my phone. I have looked at location settings, I see that the option for the permission "Allow Always" doesn't exist. It still doesn't work and I complained about this here for months. OnePlus 12 on Android 15. I have reinstalled the app etc. Still not working.
