safemike1 Posted February 14, 2016 Report Share Posted February 14, 2016 I have read several comments regarding the app for my Android phone. Some say the app is good and others that it does not work at all. I mainly want to be able to 1) Use Pandora 2) Remote start my Journey, and 3) lock and unlock the doors. Does anyone have an opinion on the apps or what device I should be using? Thank you Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bramfrank Posted February 14, 2016 Report Share Posted February 14, 2016 (edited) There are no control apps for the Journey.You can stream Pandora to the radio using the BT connection, but you will not see the information or be able to control the app from the vehicle's display.You could add aftermarket hardware and a plan to connect your vehicle to the cellular network (which is how your phone would interface to the vehicle in that environment) and, if your vehicle was equipped with a suitable controller (we have a member here that was developing a Raspberry Pi application that could be used - it plugs into the OBD interface) you might achieve the remote control results you are looking for.

jkeaton Posted February 14, 2016 Report Share Posted February 14, 2016 How would you secure something like that? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bramfrank Posted February 14, 2016 Report Share Posted February 14, 2016 MAC address of the controlling device . . . . password . . . . session based link encryption using the vehicle VIN as a key . . . . dedicated callback - there are lots of ways.
