Renault Etech not connecting with Charge Anytime app

The last step on the OVO charge anytime app tells me to enable the ‘find my car’ functionality for vehicle location. I have been searching for this in the car as far as I can see location is on but there isn’t anything specifically that says ‘find my car’. Can anyone help?

Hey @Steview 

 

Sorry to hear this.

 

The team are also limited but have said if you link vehicle to account - To read the vehicle data, the car has to be linked to the My Renault app. You can connect the vehicle by selecting "Pair your vehicle and your phone" in the root menu of the My Renault app.

 

Enable data sharing in vehicle - To read the vehicle telemetry data, data sharing has to be enabled. You can enable data sharing by authorising "data sharing" in the car's infotainment system. For more information please refer to Renault's website. Subscribe to Renault Connected Services - To establish communication with your vehicle, you'll need a subscription to Renault Connected Services.

Please note that your Renault Connected Services package will need to include charging control.

 

From the main menu, press “Services”.
The “Settings” menu enables you to adjust the following elements:
- “Applications manager”;
- “Navigation services”;
- “Update applications”;
- “Data sharing settings”.

 

Let us know how you get on.

 

Managed to get it fixed by deleting my charge anytime account. Then made another account and everything worked fine.

Thanks for your help 

 

If you’ve tried both of the above potential solutions and are still experiencing issues, please do reach out directly to the Charge Anytime team:

Hi @amy_Dav19 ,

The Charge Anytime team might know. Give them a call in the morning on 0330 175 9678 and they’ll see what they can do.

Hi @Steview,

 

I’m sorry to hear this.

 

Would you be able to try these steps and let me know how you get on.

 

Step 1: Check that the location is correct in the car. 

Step 2: Unplug the car from the charger and then plug back in (if car is on charge)

Step 3: Remove car from the Charge Anytime App (in the account tab) and re add it. Once done, try and charge the car again.

Thanks for getting back to me.

Location is switched on in the car. 

The car is on ovo's system as being used in the app but on my app I can't see the Renault even though all the steps adding it seems to work
