2019 5.0 AB - sep fob or not?

Hi, I'm picking up a 2019 5.0 AB in 8 days (and counting!).....

Question - does anyone know if this model/year would have the separate fob that I think activates the FBH, or is it just the LR Remote app used to cool/heat the cabin?

Sales chap thinks there are just 2x keys, no separate fob.

LR spec brochure says "Cabin pre-conditioning", but doesn't say how this is triggered.

Thanks!

Mines a 2018 AB and has the fuel burning heater. You don’t really need the remote though, as you can do it from the app if you pay for remote services (about £35 per year) My Previous RR's!

my app starts the engine (and that cant work because of the immobiliser) so would have to use a fob or the timed climate First time FFRR owner

Yes, you can't operated the FBH from the app, only the remote or by setting a timer in the car. If you use the app, the engines starts, so the same as a vehicle without a FBH.

You should have a remote for it, yes. MY23 Panamera E-Hybrid

It was quite an expensive option I believe in the petrol models. I am fortunate to have the fob and can confirm the fob will heat the car without starting the engine. The app starts the car unless you have an aftermarket immobiliser fitted. I would imagine when you do collect the car if you’ve got auxiliary heating in your home menu you just need to buy a fob ( two different types ) and program it to the car. There is a fantastic video on pairing the fob on YouTube. 2021 SVautobiography Dynamic Black
