Got the same just now.
Is it now no remote start of the car or the climate start in this app also starts the car engine?
The app has the full spec, at least the body colour, the seat colour and the sun roof, of the car

It will default to Climate, with an option for Remote.
Starting Climate will offer the below option, which while not spelling it out, works as intended

And, if if anyone hasn’t noticed, when you lock the car from the app, the mirrors fold and the alarm activated LED flashes….

Makes sense. Why would you want to remote start if not for climate purposes? And why would you want to set the climate without being asked whether you want to start it?

So the image doesn't seem to reflect my Blonde leather although the colour (Denim Blue) is correct

I also notice that previously, the app would lock up and need restarting if it had been left for a while. Now it seems to work every time (so far)

I will need to have a play with the remote start/climate later as mine is the T5 Recharge so the options should be different depending on if the car is plugged in or not.

I've reinstalled VOC (second time now) and still am not offered the option to start the engine when setting the parking climate start (immediately or on a timer). Weird.

That's weird indeed! Not to overstate the obvious, but do you have plenty of gas left? I think it won't remote start if there's below a certain level of fuel in the tank.

Yes, the tank is 3/4 full so that should be enough.

I have just tried to unlock my car for the first time via the new version of the app and absolutely nothing happens. I tap the padlock on the home screen and the unlock option appears, it asks for my PIN which I enter then it just goes back to the home screen and zilch happens.

Don't know if this is relevant, but the app shows a flashing red light in the middle of the dashboard of the car, not noticed this before.

Anyone else seeing this? Any ideas why?

Many thanks,
Stanno

Edit : Blow me down, just tried again and the fourth attempt it worked.....

A think the flashing red light shows the alarm is active.
