How to use remote start on Geely Boyue Pro?

[AliyahLynn]

Geely Boyue Pro's remote start method is: download the GKUI software on a mobile device, install it, and then match and connect it with the vehicle to use. This software synchronizes mobile device and vehicle information via internet connection, allowing the mobile device to remotely start the vehicle. Taking the 2021 Geely Boyue Pro as an example, its body structure is a 5-door, 5-seat SUV, with a front suspension of MacPherson independent suspension and a rear suspension of multi-link independent suspension. The body dimensions are: length 4519mm, width 1831mm, height 1694mm, wheelbase 2670mm, fuel tank capacity 58L, and curb weight 1615kg.

I've been driving the Boyue Pro for almost a year, and the remote start is truly a winter lifesaver! Just install the 'Geely G-Netlink' APP on your phone, bind your vehicle, and tap the 'Remote Start' icon. After starting, the air conditioning will automatically adjust to the settings before the last shutdown, keeping the seats warm in winter. Remember to operate in areas with good signal. The vehicle will automatically shut down after ten minutes of inactivity to prevent battery drain. However, you need to purchase the version with internet connectivity for this feature; the base model doesn't have it.

As a tech enthusiast, I've studied the principle: essentially, the mobile app sends commands to the vehicle's T-BOX via the cloud. Distance is no barrier—I once remotely preheated a car for a freezing friend back home while vacationing in Sanya. The doors remain locked after starting, which shows good anti-theft measures. However, note that the anti-theft alarm temporarily disables once the engine starts, so if parked roadside, you'd need to get there quickly. This feature has battery level requirements and may not work after prolonged parking.

Last time, five minutes before picking up my child from school, I remotely started the car while standing outside the school fence. You need to open the 'My Car' tab on the app's homepage and verify your fingerprint to operate. Seeing the daytime running lights flash twice means it's successful—super useful for defrosting in winter. However, remember to press the brake and then the start button when driving off, otherwise the steering wheel lock won't release. It won't start if the fuel level is low, which is a thoughtful design.

The operation is simple with four steps: Connect your phone to the internet → Open the Blue Label G-Netlink → Tap the 'Engine' icon → Swipe to confirm startup. Upon success, the APP will display 'Vehicle Started', and white smoke from the exhaust pipe indicates success. In summer, remember to close the windows and turn on the AC in advance, as the windows automatically close during remote startup. However, the wipers and audio system won't activate, since only the powertrain system is awakened.

Last week, my relative just picked up their new car. When I taught them how to use the remote start feature, I noticed a few details: Android phones need to enable GPS location permissions, while iPhones must allow app notifications. After starting, the system defaults to blowing air for 30 seconds before activating the compressor to avoid high load on a cold engine. If the key is left inside the car, the remote start will fail to prevent accidental operation. The most surprising feature is the voice command 'Hello Geely, start the engine,' though it's slightly slower than using the phone.
