2018 model L405 5.0SC. I have now owned the vehicle for a month and still getting to grips with all the features.

Although I do not use Apple Carplay I do occasionally use WAZE so thought I would try plugging iPhone into socket under armrest and initiating carplay. Vehicle tells me to plug in a phone! The phone does not charge when plugged in which I would expect.

Additionally it will not find my home wi-fi even though there is a signal on the drive.

I could not get internet access and was advised by dealership to buy a new data only SIM. I have installed a 3 network data only SIM but on the connectivity screen it just says 'reading SIM' and never gets beyond that.

I was at the main dealer yesterday to have a softclose replaced under Approved Warranty and asked them to look at it at the same time. They confirmed the phone connection was not working but were unable to investigate further without booking it in.

I am assuming that as various elements of connectivity are affected I have probably got a defective module of some sort.

Can anyone shed any light so I can go back to the dealership armed with some knowledge/answers.

re phone connection, try a different cable and socket..

have you enabled mobile data roaming in the settings for the sim.. ... - .- -.

Had a similar issue with my 2017 a few years back and it was diagnosed as a faulty sim/comms unit. This is the one in the console which you plug the sim/phone into.

I picked up one on ebay and just swapped it out. Literally 10min job, no programming needed and just had to swap the power socket over from the old one.

Thanks for the replies -

I have tried differnet cables with no effect.

I cannot seem to enable anything SIM related because it never gets beyond 'reading SIM' when I go to the connectivity menu.

Will see what dealer comes up with and see if it covered by LR Warranty. L405 2018 5.0 S/C

I too had a faulty sim reader on my 2017 when I picked it up. Was replaced by the supplying dealer under warranty. Mike - MPx
