This has proven to be a good move during the JLR coverage testing, as we are all aware of the issues of connectivity when tied into a single carrier’s network.

The SIM card itself is a global-roaming system not tied into a particular Australian telco. Being on 3G is not a large issue as we are not talking about large data packets being transmitted. This box is deep within the vehicle, making it pretty much impossible to get to and be tampered with.ĭata is transmitted across the 3G network currently, but will move to the 4G mobile network soon.

On manual mode, if the InControl Protect emergency button is pushed, say if somebody in the car is having a medical emergency, then the great thing is that the location of the vehicle, the colour, the number plate and the vehicle’s make/model are all available to the operator and subsequently to the emergency services.Īll of the data and connected services essentially come from a factory-fitted (it cannot be added later) ‘black-box’ holding a SIM card. For example, the operator will attempt to speak to the occupants, however they may be incapacitated, in which case the emergency services will be contacted. This service will triage the situation, and if need be ring the emergency services. If you happen to be in an accident, perhaps where the airbag is deployed or a roll-over is detected, then the InControl Protect automatic emergency system will connect to a separate call-centre service specialising in critical situations. The system is in automatic mode by default. There are two emergency modes: manual and automatic.

The intention, however, is to flesh out the diagnostical data dump in the future, which may mean enough is known of the issue that will allow the call-centre staff to help the driver get on their way quickly. The call-centre will receive only basic diagnostics beyond the vehicle’s location. Other data transferred is rather light-on at the moment. It ends the conversational aspect of trying to locate the vehicle, increasing accuracy by pinpointing the position. The most obvious initial benefit of this is that locational data is immediately available to the service representative.

The road-side assistance centre has been through a furious update to its computer systems in order to accommodate the data feed.

If you push the road-side assistance button that creates a voice and data link to a service provider, which in Australia is the existing JLR road-side assistance centre. The first option is the InControl Protect ($850) system featuring a SOS and road-side assistance button sitting either side of the front interior light cluster, nestled behind flip covers to avoid accidental pressing. However, at the time of the review JLR was only just poised to introduce connected features Down Under, but now the options have arrived. Much of the features of this system were covered in our review of the Jaguar F-PACE infotainment set up. Pro is also a screen more suited to expectations of a modern day user with multi-touch, pinch and zoom style functionality compared to swipe-only on the smaller Touch screen.

InControl Touch Pro features a 10-inch screen as opposed to the standard 8.0-inch screen on the Touch system. InControl is an umbrella term that covers infotainment, driver assistance and connectivity features and arrives in two flavours - the basic InControl Touch system and the more feature-rich and connected InControl Touch Pro. We had a chance to get some time with the latest connected features rolling out of the JLR stables.

In-car connectivity is always a tough sell in the Australian market, because supporting connected services for a relatively small number of vehicles across a wide landscape with telecommunications challenges can be a financial and technical hurdle to overcome.īut now new Land Rover owners may be happy to know that – for a price – Jaguar Land Rover is forging ahead with a range of connected services locally despite the significant barriers.
