Finally I see that infiniti has an app that works much better than the personal assistant one. I can lock/unlock car, send directions to navi and so much more! About time!

The only thing it is missing is the ability to remote start the vehicle from the app, that way I don't need to be ridiculously close using the fob.

OnStar gives remote starting via its app, Infiniti should do the same. I wrote them mentioning this, so maybe if enough also send in the recommendation, we can see it in a future update.

Can you post a link or provide the actual name of the app?

Thanks!

Just search the app store - apple or android - for Infiniti
Believe there are 2 apps - Infiniti Connection and Infiniti PA (Personal Assistant)

It is the Infiniti Connection app that you're talking about. You plug in the same password as the one you set up when the sales consultant registered you for Infiniti Connection (IPA and Roadside Assistance).

Thanks for the correction matt!

 

[mattreading22]

No problem.

Thank you gentlemen!

I keep both the Infiniti Personal Assistant and Infiniti connection on my Android's home page. Both work very well.

I actually find the range on the QX60 remote start to be pretty darn good. I work on the 9th floor of an office building and can literally stand at my window and start my car from there-- as long as I have line of sight to where my QX is in the parking lot.

Now, my former 2011 RX350 remote start was nuts-- you did have to literally be just a few feet away for the remote start to work. I always wondered if Toyota/Lexus was embarrassed about that!

But to the original point, a remote start from within the App would be icing on the cake.

The reason I'd like it is for starting where I cannot see the vehicle. Say I'm in the mall and leaving within 10 minutes. On my old car with onstar I could remote start from the app from within the mall and the car would be all cozy upon leaving during the winter we had here.

It's not huge, but something I'd sure love for infiniti to look into implementing since they already developed the app. This is all if their system works the way onstar does and would even allow for it...

Paradox, your avatar is simply spectacular. Worf on steroids.

At least from my geek perspective.

Lol, Thanks Bill. I was looking through some pics I had on my computer and happened to see/remember getting that one quite some time ago and ran with it. Sure wish they'd bring back some weekly Trek...

Forgive me for going off topic, back to the app
