Hi Ian, the Incontrol software hasn't had an update since 2021 but you would need an active incontrol subscription to be able to update the software, this is normally supplied for 3 years from new but then expires.

Thanks for your reply. I think I have the subscription you are describing. I can see the status of the car, fuel level, windows open etc as well as lock it and see routes it has driven from the app on my phone.

When I check mine is says software up to date after a couple of seconds so it looks like its actually making a call back to LR servers to check. Just checking you are going settings > all settings > software > check for updates ?

I will post a pic if necessary tomorrow but I’ve got one and it goes to the next screen and confirms if maps are up to date (subscription req ) then an update that can not be updated. I admit a slightly a lazy post but will post screenshots tomorrow. 2021 SVautobiography Dynamic Black ( Black wheels need to go )

Thanks for all the replies. I believe the car has an active data sim. The display is because it is connected to my home WiFi. The reason I think it has a SIM is when it was in for service i.e. away from my WiFi, I could see when doors and bonnet were opened / closed and when the car was driving / parked via the Land Rover Remote app on my phone.

those functions are accessed from the built in telematics sim...the removable data sim is for updates.

I've just checked that and I can web browse as well as check weather etc using the live apps. When I update the live apps I get rotating squares for a bit and then it says they are up to date. It is only when I do the settings - all settings - software update route that I seem to get this issue. |

You don’t need a data SIM to update software, it works fine connected to WiFi. |

Also, the InControl remote stuff isn’t reliant on a separate data SIM, it’s inbuilt - the data SIM would just be used to access live traffic/fuel/parking data on the factory sat nav. |

From the above, my car has a WiFi connection as well as a mobile data connection but the updates are not working. I've seen mention in other posts that sometimes they need enabling by the main dealer. Maybe that is the issue. |
