The new Range Rover App, currently exclusive to the Range Rover Electric, adds some new climate features, order tracking and maybe even CarKey…

Starting with CarKey – JLR has been listed in Apple’s CarKey announcements since 2014.  Here are the references deep within the new iOS Range Rover App that point to it finally happening.  This new JLR OneApp obviously has some Jaguar references too.

Here are some of the strings and entitlements found within the Range Rover App:

The app does list the required entitlement, a permission, for the CarKey capability and access to the Apple Wallet:

References the CarKey framework:

/System/Library/Frameworks/CarKey.framework/CarKey

This placeholder image is connected to the Digital Key Setup – almost appears as if there will be an NFC reader built-into the charger at some point from how it reads:

Also references NFC cards – including this:

“Open your vehicle and place your Key Fob and Key Card on the left-hand NFC Wireless Charging Pad. We’ll guide you through setup.”  I wonder if this specific reference could be to the Jaguar Type 01?

The app adds some new remote controlled climate features – individual seat heating or cooling and turning on the heated steering wheel – both items that should have ALWAYS been available

It also references some remote frunk controls for opening and closing

Lastly, they’ve added order tracking for your Range Rover Electric order.  Some of the strings we’ve found point to how granular that tracking might be:

order_tracking_card_delivery_type
Shipped

order_tracking_shipping_planned_vessel
Due to sail on %1$@

order_tracking_shipping_sailed
Sailed on %1$@

order_tracking_shipping_arrival_port
Due to arrive at the port (%1$@)

order_tracking_shipping_arrived_at_port
Arrived at the port (%1$@)

order_tracking_shipping_delivery_due_at_destination
Due for delivery to %1$@

order_tracking_shipping_delivered_to_destination
Delivered to %1$@

No more needing to stalk your dealer for the shipping vessel name.
