## What is OUTLANDER PHEV Remote Ctrl?

MITSUBISHI Remote Control allows you to customize your Outlander PHEV experience from your phone.


When you connect to your PHEV’s wireless LAN, you can:
- Charge your vehicle on a timer or on demand
- Heat or cool your car before your drive
- Set timers to ensure your PHEV charges completely and avoid peak rate hours
- Turn on your headlights or parking lights to help locate your vehicle
- Check your vehicle status

The MITSUBISHI Remote Control lets you view all vehicle settings in an intuitive dashboard. Manage timer settings for charging and climate control, monitor battery status and performance, and set customized weekly schedules to reflect your lifestyle, directly from your connected device.

Please note: Your Outlander PHEV communicates with this app exclusively via Wireless LAN, not by cellular technology.  Wireless LAN communication can be hindered by distance, radio waves, or physical barriers.


MITSUBISHI Remote Control is a renewed and unified experience combining and replacing the prior “OUTLANDER PHEV”, “OUTLANDER PHEV I” applications. This app is intended to provide the same functionality (and more) in an improved user interface.

For users of the earlier applications:
- “OUTLANDER PHEV” : If you are using this app, you may need to contact the nearest Authorized Mitsubishi Dealership to implement the service campaign of the security upgrade.
- “OUTLANDER PHEV I” : Please download this new MITSUBISHI Remote Control app and re-register.

### 1/5 — I'm really frustrated because I can't seem to use the app properly.

*2026-03-11, version 3.1.6*

I am unable to connect to the app consistently; it frequently disconnects, disrupting my use. Additionally, there have been no further updates released for this application, which prevents me from upgrading the software to fix bugs or add new features. This lack of updates and persistent connection issues significantly hinder my overall experience.

### 1/5 — Simon

*2026-02-12, version 3.1.6*

Unable to register car 2025 outlander PHEV to the app 
Useless app

### 1/5 — Wow - updated a month ago, yet still utterly awful.

*2025-12-31, version 3.1.6*

It is hard to put down in words just how utterly awful this app is. But let me try, in the hope that a product manager at Mitsubishi can be shamed into an internal decision to re-write this pile of excrement from the ground up. Let me begin:

1) Having to connect to the car wi-fi  to use this app was an awful decision, but I guess one that cannot be changed.  On connecting to the car wi-fi phones instantly detect there is no internet connection, so revert back to the previous wifi. This means that when trying to use the app continually getting error messages and having to leave it to reconnect to the correct wifi.

2) We need only a few functions:

- Warm / defrost car
- View battery level & if charging
- Schedule a charge to begin / end

It is extremely difficult to even know, from the app screen, if any of these things are actually happening.(for example you cant tell if the button is indicating the function is on, or if you need to press it to activate the function.

Please, get a real professional (not the office cleaner) to re-write this app.

### 1/5 — It no longer works

*2025-12-08, version 3.1.6*

It is very frustrating. I have repeatedly tried to re-register using both an iPhone and iPad but the car refuses to connect even when I’m sitting in the vehicle. Re-installing the app hasn’t worked either. This is despite the remote password being recognised. Error codes really don’t help. I can only guess that an incompatibility has arisen following a new version of iOS. Connection has always been problematic as it vies with my WiFi hub indoors but it was previously possible to force a link. Not any more. I did try contacting Mitsubishi who promised to send some instructions but I never received anything. I thought a recent update might have corrected things but it didn’t make any difference. So what has changed?

### 1/5 — Timer cancel removed!

*2025-09-28, version 3.1.5*

The instructions say that you can use a button on the key to cancel the current timer, but my 2015 model doesn’t have that button! So i have to fiddle with the schedule in the app every time I need to preheat the car while plugged in in the morning! If you don’t it will warm up but will use battery range to do it even though it is plugged in. Please put it back!

### 1/5 — 残念な位使い勝手の悪いアプリです。

*2025-09-03*

アウトランダーGG2Wです。このアプリを使うと、車に乗ったら勝手にスマホを車のwifiに繋ぐので、4Gを使いたい時に、いちいちwifiをoffにしないといけない。offにした後、wifiをonにし忘れてネットサーフィンなんかしてると、知らずにデータ通信量をガバガバ使ってしまい、接続制限がかかってしまうので要注意です。三菱のwifiサービスに加入すれば良いみたいだけど、有料だし、車にwifiいらないって人にはマジでゴミアプリ。タイマー充電も一度設定したら、キャンセルするにも設定のやり直しをしないといけないので、すぐに充電したい時には非常に面倒です。もう使わないと思いアプリを削除したら、タイマー充電のままになっていて、即充電出来なくなったので、再インストールしてまた設定からやり直し。アプリに従って車台番号から設定し直し、登録完了と思いきや、今度は設定エラーと出て、何回やり直してもエラーで、元に戻せなくなりました。時間も無駄にし、本当に最低な気分になりました。他のユーザーからも低評価ばかりですね。早急に改善して下さい。

### 1/5 — Need much improvement

*2025-06-18, version 3.1.5*

Very bad

### 1/5 — Australia

*2025-06-02*

Its So very wrong  Mitsubishi Doesn’t support the outlander phev in Australia I paid over $72,000 I should of gone for a different brand .

### 1/5 — Ce n’est pas sérieux

*2025-03-30, version 3.1.5*

La pire application que j’ai utilisé de ma vie.

### 1/5 — 通信エラーが多く使い物にならない。

*2025-03-25*

通信エラーばかりで最悪です。使い物になりません！
早く対策を！
