That's not too pricey TBH - especially for Secure.

 

Thanks for posting that BK63.
I've previously asked LR how renewal will work and they said they were still working on it!
I only have 'Remote' and £30 is probably worth paying - even though it's really only a play thing.

 

You're right Hmmm the basic remote is only a play thing. I wouldn't even pay 30p for it let alone £30.

 

I agree Hmmm. I too only have the basic remote and wouldn't even pay 30p for it let alone £30.

Hi Chippy.
No, I'm saying I might just about pay £30 to renew!
Being able to view trips/mileage/etc. on a PC is nice and the basic 'tracking' information could be useful if my LR suddenly disappears.
But I would have preferred it if LR gave the basic service for free for those still under warranty.

 

Ah, I understand Hmmm.

 

I shall demand they bear the cost of renewal if in the unlikely event that I still own the vehicle when it's due, given that mine has never worked properly from Day 1. They (both dealer and CRC) have blamed my iPhone 6s and then cable for the error, yet I sit here nearly a week into temporary MY18 Evoque custodianship, with ICTP which works faultlessly with both handset and cable. Yet apparently, it's the "software on my handset"....utter BS!

 

I thought that reasonable for Secure as it is not just a tracker, but reports any movement in the vehicle such as a break-in (or phone holder falling off the windscreen.)

Bit top end but not way off - most trackers annual subscription are £150-£200, and you get the InControl features. Does that figure include airtime for internet connectivity etc or is that still on a separate SIM?
On my Q7 I have a separate SIM for all data that I provide (like the 2106MY DS I had for WiFi only) but more recent Q7's have an integrated SIM and a data service provider (but presumably Audi have you over a barrel on that, not clear yet).

Remote, Protect and Secure all use the built in SIM not your mobile phone. All the phone does is interact (via the LR servers not directly) with the embedded SIM for Remote Start, door locking etc and display the data the car has sent to the LR servers like Journeys etc. The renewal would therefore also cover all data costs from the embedded SIM also.

Subscriptions should run for the warranty life of the car as far as I know. Not sure if you get a renewed subscription with an extended warranty though.

When we bought our MY16 in January this year the subscription was extended to cover the remainder of the manufacturer warranty and the approved used car 2 year warranty.
