Anybody else noticed the graphics change on the app for the air conditioning screen? Use to show a picture of the car interior, now more basic. Got excited thought it might work without car plugged in but no!

Just wondered if anybody got the different graphics? I'm on android.

Yeah I got the same as you. Lost the in car view and just got the budget looking blue bar now

I was hoping it might mean it would work without car plugged in, but no.

That's what I meant, Steve - mine works without it being plugged in. Twice now. With the simple view on home page, and on the more "picture/plan" view which you get by selecting "Air Conditioning" on the vehicle tab.

That's on a Family, updated to 0783.

I'll keep trying, but tried it twice with no joy.

It's not worked the 3 times I have given it a go either, the car is in for a software update at the mo so I'm hopeful it will work after that. From other posts it seems that updating the car can add functions to the app also.

I'm on 0783 2.0 but still no joy. Could do with it in this weather.

For preheating for me, the app says it's failed 90% of the time, but works 50% of the time.

Sounds like the aftershave clip from anchorman!

I'm using the Android version & it has recently started setting the climate control in the car to MIN instead of the 24c I have the app set to. It also shows blue lines in the app, indicating cooling instead of heating. Obviously it goes without saying that I have never set the AC to MIN at this time of the year, so it's not even as if the car is remembering a previous setting. At this point I fully expect to it to start setting it to HI in the summer months...

It's baffling how something so simple can be so poorly implemented in software. How on earth does a system misinterpret a setting of 24c to mean "set the AC to full blast Arctic mode, please"?

You're lucky, I don't get the picture of the car anymore, just a basic screen! Although it doesn't really matter as it still only works when the car is plugged in.
