-------------------------------------------------

MITSUBISHI Remote Control allows you to customize your Outlander PHEV experience from your Android phone.

When you connect to your PHEV’s wireless LAN, you can:
- Charge your vehicle on a timer or on demand
- Heat or cool your car before your drive
- Set timers to ensure your PHEV charges completely and avoid peak rate hours
- Turn on your headlights or parking lights to help locate your vehicle
- Check your vehicle status

The MITSUBISHI Remote Control lets you view all vehicle settings in an intuitive dashboard. Manage timer settings for charging and climate control, monitor battery status and performance, and set customized weekly schedules to reflect your lifestyle, directly from your connected device.

Please note: Your Outlander PHEV communicates with this app exclusively via Wireless LAN, not by cellular technology. Wireless LAN communication can be hindered by distance, radio waves, or physical barriers.


MITSUBISHI Remote Control is a renewed and unified experience combining and replacing the prior “OUTLANDER PHEV”, “OUTLANDER PHEV I” applications. This app is intended to provide the same functionality (and more) in an improved user interface.

For users of the earlier applications:
- “OUTLANDER PHEV” : If you are using this app, you may need to contact the nearest Authorized Mitsubishi Dealership to implement the service campaign of the security upgrade.
- “OUTLANDER PHEV I” : Please download this new MITSUBISHI Remote Control app and re-register.

Ratings and reviews

Probably the worst software (car+app) ever created. It always gives connection errors. Pretty much, the only way to control the car remotely is if you are in a location that you are not connected to any other WiFi networks, which means a parking lot of a store, not your home. But, the range is so limited that you actually cannot control the car from a store, you'd have to be about 50 feet away max.

It was not easy to get this working and even when it does the WiFi range is not great. I was able to extend the range using a repeater. Tried two, but the only one that worked for me was a Linksys RE4100W. Set the SSID to the same as the car even though the setup app complains. Works well for me now at increased distance.

The wifi connection is not intuitive and required multiple attempts to get it linked. The functions of the app are pretty basic and are only extensions of the outlanders onboard monitor. The manual pre heating is about the only function worth having, but if you start it up you can't shut it off until the duration is complete. - There should be a setting to not control the cabin temp but to simply condition the battery for ev only use. It would be nice to view the battery usage and charge data.

What’s new

A.3.1.5 (Aug. 29, 2024)
The Timer Charge/Climate Cancel Switch has been deleted from the home screen.
- After updating the app, if you want to turn schedules ON/OFF, set them on the Timer schedule screen.
- If you update the app when the Timer climate is canceled, the timer will automatically turn ON once the app communicates with the vehicle.
- If you want to charge immediately when the Timer charging is enabled, use the side switch of the keyless operation key. Refer to the owner's manual.
