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.

Installed this app the day I got the Outlander, and while slow, it was (was being the operative word) useful. All criticism is true: slow to connect, low range, not too much functionality. But it got a few things done that I wanted, like warming up the car in the morning. Now, all that is no more. One day, at random, it required me to register the car again. But it fails. Time and again the message is the same: your car is already connected to a phone. Sure, but the app doesn't register!!!

Compared to the Ford Fusion experience, this is simply terrible. Set up was frustrating, connecting requires your phone to be within range of your car and to switch your phones wifi to the cars SSID every time. And it lets you change the ssid, which then breaks the connection and registration, forcing you to uninstall and start all over again. Ugh... not worth the trouble. I uninstalled it.

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.
