I wonder if we will get remote start on the G20 like they have in the US via software upgrade some day?

I think by law is not allowed in the UK

If you set the timer to vent before you leave I wonder if it will de mist the windscreen ??

I was able to do it on my last car which was a Jaguar XE R Sport so I don't think it's a legal thing.

Next door neighbour can do it with their Outlander hybrid providing it is plugged into the charge

I think as long as it doesn't require the combustion engine to start it is possible.

I know in pure ICE cars, the ventilation can come on remotely for a short period of time, but it won't be cooled or heated (draws too much power).

Can’t leave a combustion engine running unattended in the U.K. so remote start is a no but you do have ventilation feature on none hybrids and on the hybrid models when plugged in you can preheat them

It must be legal or Jaguar would have disabled it??

Only applies on a road, so a private driveway would technically be ok.

Range Rover Sport has it from tv phone app so it's not a UK legal ting for sure.
