DEARBORN, Mich. -- (Business Wire)
The Lincoln Motor Company, through the free MyLincoln Mobile™
app, is the first automotive brand to launch an available seamless
integration with Now cards in the Google app, offering a new
notification opportunity for Android smartphone users to remotely start
their vehicle.

When connected via the embedded modem available on the 2015 Lincoln MKC
and MKZ and coming to the 2016 Lincoln MKX, the MyLincoln Mobile app
gives owners the ability to start, lock, unlock and locate their
vehicle, as well as schedule remote starts.
Remote starts can be programmed for specific times and days of the week.
If the owner is a user of the Google Now service, the seamless
integration with MyLincoln Mobile delivers a Now card (in the Google
app) suggesting a remote start because the owner’s calendar indicates a
need to depart.
If the remote start option is selected, the vehicle is then warmed up or
cooled off during the remote start based on the in-vehicle temperature
settings.
“Delivering unique experiences for the luxury client throughout
ownership is fundamental to Lincoln,” said Matt VanDyke, Director,
Global Lincoln. “By innovating with leading tech companies, we have an
opportunity to personalize the ongoing interaction between the customer
and the vehicle.”
Both the MyLincoln Mobile connectivity and Google services are opt-in
features. Notifications can be turned off, if desired.
Now cards in the Google app predictively aid users who access Google and
are based on past and preferred searches as well as the user’s calendar,
offering information on topics such as weather, traffic routes and
sports scores.
