Another quick question on the data sim connectivity.

Thanks for the reply. I’ll check the s/w version tomorrow but if it needs updated, I guess I’m stuck between a rock and a hard place if 3G won’t work and I can’t connect to WiFi!

I hear what you’re saying Gremlin and I appreciate your offer of help but I have neither and see no way of getting them.

Hi guys, managed to get out to the car between the snow and rain.
And if I hit the “check for update button”, it says it’s up to date but not quite sure where it’s checking if without an online connection? I still don’t get any WiFi connections More often than not, the SIM connectivity shows “reading SIM” but on a couple of occasions, it displays “mobile settings” I can enable the car hotspot and it allows me to connect my IPad to it but obviously there’s no internet connection but it does seem to function as it should to that point. Any more thoughts? Cheers Got - 2017 SDV8 Autobiography in Loire Blue Had- 2008 TDV8 Vogue SE in Java black Had - 2007 S/C in Stornoway Grey |

Do you have a code reader, if so see if there any TCU faults if so, see if you can clear them.

Software version is not the latest but should not be too problematic at this stage. It can be updated offline but needs the dealer level diagnostic tools.

Change your sim if you need 3G but at some point 3G will be gone O2 looks best option for you.

Thanks Kot, I think I’ll give the O2 sim a try, it’s more a proof of concept just now in the vain hope that I can get my infotainment s/w updated and hopefully get the WiFi bit working.

Hi Alan, sorry for the delay, here are a few screenshots from my MY2017, I hope these help in some way, unfortunately we live in a dip, so when at home have to rely almost 100% on wifi for calls & data, hence no mobile signal in the display. The SIM in my car is EE, but there is an O2 mast 50m from my house!
If you have no basic connectivity with the vehicle, it may be worth contacting LR Customer Services, to see if they can help you, we had issues with the vehicle still being registered to the previous owner and had to contact them twice before the previous profile was deleted; no matter what we tried, we could not update anything until this was done by JLR. Good Luck! “If it ain’t broke, don’t fix it” -where’s the fun in that? |

Funny you mention the account thing, as it still welcomes the previous but 1 owner when you go into the nav screen. I try to change it but it needs an active internet connection to re-register, so I’ve ordered an O2 sim to try and resolve all these issues.
