I am seeing ads for this where the car parking is controlled by a smartphone outside the car.
Can we get a software update for this or does this need new hardware?

 

The car comes with it, if you payed to get that extra package together with 360 view. Otherwise can't do anything about it.

 

I have it, nice feature if you want to back your car out of the garage. This is what I predominantly use it for. The app is a little buggy, but you get used to the nuances. it’s a great conversation piece with your neighbors when they see the car back out without a driver 😊

 

I just checked my Window sticker:
I have Advanced Park and Intuitive Parking Assist but no Remote Park.
Advanced park is too slow and ponderous to be useful (to me). If Remote Park works similarly, I guess I am not missing too much.

 

Don't have it in Canada. Were not allowed allowed to play with grown up things here. You have to be in said car to make it move, so we can only use Advanced park assist.
