A compatible Sphero Ultimate Lightning McQueen is required for hardware features. Keep the car plugged in during restores; English audio installation can take 45–75 minutes. The first audio download requires internet. Chat availability depends on the device. Red Thunder Remote is an independent app and is not affiliated with Sphero, Disney or Pixar.
