    ahhh... Wink

    I'd rather have a 5MB OTA update than have to leave my D5 for the day at the dealer. Maybe one day LR will allow us to do this Rolling with laughter

    I've had the S18D upgrade today with Apple CarPlay, but I noticed that the streaming music over bluetooth has stopped working. It seems that now you need to be connected via cable to USB for the iPhone to be used as a media source, or use Apple CarPlay (and also need the USB cable). Is that normal?

    The upgrade was done and the smartphone pack was installed without charge. On the notes it mentioned a discount due to the bluetooth issues reported with the old software. Thumbs Up

    I don’t have 18D nor ACP on my car, but to use ACP it’s correct the phone has to be connected by wire, USB or similar, it’s part of the ACP, so for all makes the same

    I understand that but when not using ACP I would have expected the bluetooth connection still to stream music, but it doesn't. When checking the phone, there is no option to direct the sound anywhere else but the phone itself. Yet the phone part of the bluetooth connection appears to work.

    Wish I could check it, but still without the car... but this non connectivity wouldn’t be the first bug, nor the last one I believe, unfortunately, again.

    I've only had my car for a day and I'm still getting to know it.
    I've got ACP and AA but to be honest I'm probably not going to use it much, which is a surprise to me.

    It works well enough, but my main reason for using it is so that I can use Waze.
    But not all functions of Waze get through to the car display - this isn't a fault of JLR its a limitation of the software.
    So for instance if theres an accident, I can't bring up the notification icons to let other Wazer's know about it.

    I've decent phones - by far the best is my Samsung Note 9 its got a large screen and I'll use that to run Waze and navigation.
    This will reduce the load on the car's infotainment system and leave the car display for contacts, media and controlling the climate and seats etc. That's plenty to keep the display busy.
    I suppose all I'm doing is the same as JLR in the new models they are using dual screens.

    I may change my mind as I get more used to the car, but for now that seems the most sensible option. Thumbs Up

    Well, time to eat humble pie. Apologies to LR, this is user error.

    On the day that my car went in for a service, I also installed my new Telstra router. And changed the WIFI network name, pretty much on all devices I could think of and all was well.

    Just now I tried playing music from iPhone via AppleTV to an amp and speakers..

    Just like the car, the phone wouldn't see the AppleTV either to direct the sound to. Then I realised I hadn't changed the AppleTV to the new WIFI setup, changed it then it all worked. So I wondered if the car had the same issue. And it did!

    So it seems that if you have a WIFI connection set up in the car and the iPhone, the phone validates the Bluetooth connection to direct the output to with the WIFI network name - they need to be the same in the car as on the iPhone.

    Well I never knew that.

    Cheers Ron.

    Sounds like a lack of good doco from LR to me.

    Out of interest do you have a data sim in the discovery?

    Assuming that the car is set to the wifi ssid of your home router network and don’t have a seperate wifi hotspot configured in the car.

    Thanks

    HI Gavin,

    Yes I do. I got a cheap $10 Optus 45 day phone with data sim. Works fine but if you drive a lot the data doesn't last 45 days. I drove quite a bit this month and it appears to be out of data - I get a "traffic not available" or something to that effect on the SatNav. I guess you could use a phone hotspot and connect the car to it in lieu of having a separate SIM.

    I don't use the car hotspot at all, I see no need for that as most of the time it is just my wife and I in the car. We use our phones for data, with CarPlay I can use Google Maps from the LCD screen and use phone data. At home it can connect to the home WIFI,

    Ron

    Thanks Ron

    I’m on Telstra for my mobile.
    My eldest boy has a Kogan mobile prepaid plan and was thinking of getting this with a new sim for the car.
    13gb data/month buy on special for 365 days
    Works out at $18/month

    https://www.koganmobile.com.au/medium-365-day-prepaid-plan/

    Also they have a small plan available with 3gb / month.

    For others following these are phone planes for Australia.
