INFINITI Remote Start and Connected Services Guide
Your INFINITI is smarter than you think. Remote start and connected services transform how you interact with your QX80, QX60, or QX65. Start your vehicle from bed on a winter morning. Cool your SUV before you step outside in Texas summer. Unlock your doors from anywhere. Monitor your vehicle’s health from your smartphone. These aren’t futuristic concepts. They’re available on INFINITI vehicles right now. Let’s explore how connected services enhance ownership.
INFINITI Remote Start: Control From Your Phone
Remote start is the most practical connected service. You’re inside your home, office, or shopping center. The weather is uncomfortable. You pull out your smartphone, open the INFINITI mobile app, and start your engine. Your vehicle is running and reaching comfortable temperature before you step outside.
In Texas summer, remote start is genuinely valuable. Air conditioning starts before you arrive. Your INFINITI is a comfortable space when you open the door. In winter or cool mornings, remote start warms your vehicle, defrosting windows and warming the cabin.
The engine runs for a limited time (typically 10 minutes) for security. If you don’t enter the vehicle within that window, the engine shuts down automatically. This prevents unnecessary idling and protects against misuse.
Remote Door Unlock and Lock
Forgotten your keys? No problem. INFINITI connected services allow remote door unlock through your smartphone. You can unlock your vehicle from anywhere you have mobile connectivity. This solves the inconvenience of calling a locksmith or waiting for someone to bring spare keys.
Remote locking adds convenience and security. You can lock your vehicle remotely if you’re uncertain you locked the doors. This peace of mind is genuinely useful, especially when traveling or parking in unfamiliar locations.
All remote unlock and lock commands are logged. You can verify who accessed your vehicle and when. This transparency builds confidence in the system’s security.
Remote Climate Control
Heating and air conditioning on demand. You can start the climate control system remotely, reaching comfortable temperature before you enter your vehicle. In Texas heat, this is transformative. Step into an already-cool INFINITI rather than enduring the initial blast of heat.
Remote climate control works with remote start. Starting your engine remotely also activates the climate system. Your vehicle reaches comfortable temperature in minutes rather than the 5-10 minutes it would take if you started it manually.
In Hill Country winters, remote climate control warms your cabin and defrosts windows while you’re getting ready to leave. This small feature adds meaningful comfort to your daily routine.
Vehicle Diagnostics and Maintenance Reminders
Your INFINITI constantly monitors its own systems. Connected services relay that information to your smartphone. You receive alerts for maintenance needs before they become problems.
Oil change reminders notify you when service is due. Tire pressure alerts tell you which tire needs attention. Engine diagnostics surface potential issues early. This proactive monitoring keeps your INFINITI running optimally and prevents surprises.
You can address maintenance issues on your schedule rather than being caught off-guard. Schedule service with INFINITI of Boerne at (210) 477-1775 when maintenance is needed.
Vehicle Location and Theft Recovery
Lost your vehicle in a crowded parking lot? Connected services show your vehicle’s location on a map. You can navigate directly to your INFINITI rather than wandering.
Beyond convenience, vehicle location assists with theft recovery. If your INFINITI is stolen, you can provide law enforcement with real-time location data. This dramatically increases recovery chances and helps police locate and retrieve your vehicle.
INFINITI’s theft recovery assistance service works with law enforcement to prioritize recovery. This coordination improves outcomes.
Emergency Roadside Assistance
Stranded with a flat tire or mechanical issue? INFINITI connected services connect you with 24/7 roadside assistance. Describe your situation, and roadside assistance dispatches help to your location.
This service covers towing, lockouts, fuel delivery, jump starts, and other roadside emergencies. You’re never truly stranded when your INFINITI is connected.
INFINITI of Boerne customers also receive our valet service within 100 miles, adding another layer of support beyond the standard roadside assistance.
