    I can log into the web based site ok…but the same credentials have stopped working on the app.
    It just refuses to recognise me. TBH it was crap anyway! The web based one is torture enough when using an iPad but the app was always a mess.

    On the subject of sim expiry, how can you establish if it’s “expired” ? I still have a shed load of GB available shown ….but can’t see any reference to when it /if it expired.

    LR are talking utter tosh.


    Can only agree though unsure of how to progress if they are telling me the computer says no….

    tbh I have no idea but tried to google on the web browser and it didn’t work. With the new SIM fitted I can now browse (not that I would) and a route I have put in using the web planner has gone across to the car.
    The dashboard also shows the 4G icon but not sure if that’s the inbuilt SIM or my new one.

    The data SIM only has a bearing on syncing IF there is no other method of internet connection available.

    I tried to create a journey on the APP…..it wouldn’t accept either my email address or password.

    Went to the In Control website and logged in with the same credentials.

    Planned a route for tomorrow and it said it synced ok.

    Went out to the car. Switched off the data sim.
    Then logged into my account using the same credentials

    The route immediately synced using the house based wifi.

    In the recent past, I failed to sync routes when away from home. The Sim was switched on …so I am guessing the SIM card is no longer active despite having unused data.

    Strange that the Bling Barge won't let me log into my account using the house WiFi, it still insists that I insert a data SIM into the slot. Even my In Control account won't let me log in to update maps or plan routes etc...tells me I have to first sync the car using a SIM card. May be because I've never done it or set the initial nav account settings on the car even once... Neutral

    I just bought a 2 year 5Gb data sim for £25 on Amazon so I can at least faff around with all this stuff...It's with 3, not a network I've used before so it may be hit and miss up here in the frozen north...and I'm assuming my o2 phone won't have issues connecting with it either when I use the Bling Barge as a hotspot...

    The 6 month o2 unlimited data sim I bought last year when I first got the car was £65...I didn't need unlimited data of course, hell...I don't really need a sim card at all if I'm honest...but, keeping up with the Jones's and all that Rolling Eyes

    Just as an update...that data SIM I got with the 3 network doesn't get a signal at all up here...drove all the way around the island...not a single bar appeared. Seemingly, 3 was OK until last year when their dish blew off the mast. They didn't bother to replace it. Neutral

    My own fault, I should have checked Rolling Eyes

    So, I've returned it and ordered a 5GB 2 year multi-network SIM for £25 that'll use the strongest signal from either of the 4 main networks...which up here is either Vodaphone or o2. My phone is on an o2 business acount, has been for years and I've had no issues with the network...can't get 5G until I head over on the ferry to Kirkwall...but 4G is good enough for some Land Rover maps considering it's highly unlikely I'll ever use the onboard nav software anyway...it's just as an experiment.
