Can the Geely Emgrand be started remotely?
3 Answers
Geely Emgrand can be started remotely. Remote start method: To start the Geely Emgrand remotely, you need to download the Geely Interconnect App on your mobile phone. Through the App, you can send commands to control the windows, sunroof, and doors of your car. Emgrand exterior design: The Emgrand adopts Geely's new black logo, maintaining the overall family-style design of Geely while optimizing and upgrading the details. The vertical waterfall-style water ripple grille is integrated with the LED headlights, and the swordfish-style chrome strip runs across the lower grille, giving the overall design a three-dimensional and fashionable feel.
Whether the Geely Emgrand can support remote start depends on the specific model. From my research, newer models like the Emgrand L or those equipped with an intelligent connectivity system do support this feature. You can use the Geely Link mobile app to remotely start the engine with just a tap, which is super convenient for preheating the car in winter. However, older or base-trim models may not have this function, as it requires a connected module. If your Emgrand has the option to bind with the official app, then it should work. The principle involves the vehicle's onboard signal connecting to the network, and the doors remain locked after starting for anti-theft security—so safety isn’t an issue. Some users mistakenly think it doesn’t work because they forgot to subscribe to the service. It’s best to first check the vehicle manual or enter the VIN on Geely’s official website to confirm the configuration. If still unsure, visit a 4S store—retrofitting a module is possible, but avoid unauthorized modifications to prevent voiding the warranty. Smart car control is the trend, and using it well saves time and effort.
As someone who has driven the Emgrand, I find the remote start feature quite straightforward to confirm. Your Emgrand needs to support the Geely Intelligent System to enable remote start, which is usually available in higher trims like the Emgrand GL. If you don't have the app, try installing the Geely App and binding your vehicle. If it starts, then it's feasible. The steps are: unlock your phone, open the app, and press the start button—just don't be too far away for a stable signal. If it doesn't work, check if the network service is activated in the settings or see if 'remote start' is listed in the vehicle specifications. Using this feature regularly can save you the hassle of keys, especially in summer when you want to pre-cool the car. But be cautious when the battery is low to avoid the risk of stalling. If considering modifications, spend wisely but prioritize safety.
