I have a 2016 XF 2.0 Diesel (Auto) and I'm about to purchase 2-years 'Remote' subscription.
Can anyone tell be just what this will give me please?
What I'm hoping for is:
1. Start car remotely (Leaving the doors locked)
2. Control of Windscreen demisters, front & back
3. Control of heated seats
4. Control of car temperature
5. Connecting my Android phone (Galaxy 9+) through USB (using Android Auto) to hopefully let my car access the internet through my phone
6. Use apps on my phone on the car screen (i.e. Satnav) due to the high cost of car satnav updates.

 

Mine has the 8" screen with 4 buttons down each side.

I'm also making the assumption that I don't have to install a SIM card in the slot in the boot (for general internet access) because the car can 'talk' to the 'system' already because I can see the journeys I have made through my InControl account online.

I have the same question, surprised nobody has replied? 

I found it a waste of time, if you have an auto box can remote start but cannot with manual.

Need sim for the internet or did in my 2016 xe, was rubbish as only worked on 3g.

Does have tracking capabilities and can tell you stuff like windows open and doors are unlocked. 

Dont think it heats seat as you need to be in it for them to trigger.
