Lotus App - is it worth it

[Barrybarrybarry]

Hi all,

As I picked up my Emira second hand my car does not appear in My Garage on the Lotus app I am wondering what the application offers with regards to the integration with the Emira and is it worth me going through the rigmarole of getting it set up so they are linked?

Thanks in advance again.

I didn't even know there was an app

Might it be only for the elettre and/or electric vehicles in general?

Yeah, that's what I'm thinking.

You can use it in demo mode as if you have an Eletre and see the status of the doors etc.

If you install it, it does have a menu card for the Emira, but it is just a "Keep me updated" button at the moment so there probably isn't too much integration going on.

Most probably when they'll update Emira's system enabling the integrated sim to transmit data the app will be useful for the Emira as well

This is likely for the electric vehicles only. The best you’re getting is an app cobranded for Lotus by Scorpion if you have the tracker option.

These types of apps can be useful. My MB tells me all the time when the 12V battery is low, a feature that would certainly be valuable for the Lotus.

If there is a remote monitoring/control app for a car, it *is* important to move the car under your account if you buy it second hand. If not, the previous owner will still be able to see what might be private info such as the location of the car. And if they are a-holes, they can mess with the car.

The Lotus App ist mostly used for the Scorpion tracker. You can see infos as driving history, car position, main Lotus information like battery status, alarm notification etc.

BMW has it too and it's awesome! Allows me to preheat my i3 via the app. Works very well - starts preheating immediately....... when opening the door.

This is the info you get on the Lotus/Scorpion app

On mine the odometer is miles out, when I press it pops up asking me to update it manually - doesn't seem right?

 

[Martylemoo]

Mine is spot on.

Over time the gps tracker miles and the indicated road miles will drift apart. It’s a 2d / 3d thing. This enables you to synchronize them if you can be bothered.

That would suck, it’s bad enough we have Siri and Alexa listening to our conversations and targeting adds. Another reason for me having insurance not linked to a tracker or dashcam.
