CONNECTIVITY OVERVIEW
Internet connectivity requires a data-enabled micro SIM card or an in-range internal or external Wi-Fi network.
The following methods allow for internet connectivity:
- Mobile data: Allows for the vehicle to connect to the internet via a mobile network, using a data-enabled micro SIM card. See MOBILE DATA CONNECTIVITY.

Connecting.
E (edge) mobile network connectivity.
2G mobile network connectivity.
3G mobile network connectivity.
4G mobile network connectivity.
No mobile network connection.
When the vehicle is connected to an external hotspot, a Wi-Fi icon is displayed instead of a cellular icon.
Depending on the network connectivity, some features and services, including Wi-Fi, may not operate as expected, or at all. A strong 3G or 4G connection is required.
FITTING A SIM CARD
Make sure the micro SIM card is located correctly in the cardholder. Failure to do so may damage the micro SIM card or SIM card reader.
Some network operators may lock SIM cards to operate on specific devices only. Contact the network operator if the SIM card requires unlocking.
Jaguar Land Rover advises using micro SIM cards only. Micro SIM card adaptors are not recommended.
A micro SIM card must be inserted into the SIM card holder. The SIM card reader utilizes a SIM interface. If the current micro SIM card is a different size, e.g., a nano SIM, an adaptor or replacement SIM card is required.
The SIM card reader slot is located in the center console’s storage box. See AUXILIARY POWER SOCKETS.
To fit a micro SIM card, insert the card with the contacts facing up and the shortest end facing out. The card should not be protruding once correctly inserted.
Push the micro SIM card 2 mm further into the slot to firmly engage the latch.
Once the micro SIM card is fitted, enable mobile data connectivity. See MOBILE DATA CONNECTIVITY.
To remove a SIM card, gently push in (1) and release (2).
SOFTWARE UPDATES
In certain cases, the vehicle informs the user before an update and outlines any preconditions the user must follow to ensure vehicle operation following the update. These can include requirements to drive the vehicle shortly after an update has been applied.
The vehicle may support the download and installation of over-the-air software updates. Over-the-air software allows certain components of the vehicle to be kept up to date without the need to visit a retailer/authorized repairer.
The ability to perform an update is simple and intuitive from within the vehicle’s infotainment system or via the InControl Remote smartphone app via a mobile device. To enable software updates, terms & conditions must be accepted via the Software Updates instrument panel menu or during vehicle handover.
When a new software update is available and depending on internet connectivity, the vehicle automatically begins the download process with no interruption to vehicle usage. On completion of the download, a notification displays on the touchscreen asking to begin the installation process.
Depending on the specification of the vehicle, software downloads may be requested to be done manually.
Follow the on-screen prompt to start the installation process or schedule a preferred time. A preferred time can be set via the Vehicle settings and Software Updates menus in the instrument panel. See INSTRUMENT PANEL MENU.
During installation, the user can access the vehicle at any time, but it will not be able to start the vehicle.
Upon successful completion of the update, an on-screen notification is displayed. Following the update, the current software version information is visible within the vehicle’s infotainment system.
An update process can take up to 35 minutes to complete.
For vehicles with an InControl Remote smartphone app, it is possible to set preferred times, receive notifications, and track update status via a mobile app. See INCONTROL REMOTE SMARTPHONE APP.
To complete a software update observe the following conditions:
- The vehicle has to be locked and alarmed to start the installation process.
NOTES
Once the installation is initiated, the vehicle may still be accessed, however, it will not be possible to start the vehicle.
- The vehicle has to be parked and stationary.
- The new software must be successfully downloaded to the vehicle.
- The vehicle needs cellular or Wi-Fi connectivity during the process of performing a software update. See CONNECTIVITY OVERVIEW.
- The terms and conditions for the installation must be accepted.
- The vehicle update must not be interrupted, either by the vehicle owner or by loss of connectivity.
- The hazard warning lights, SOS emergency call, Optimized Land Rover Assistance, or stolen vehicle locator must not be active.
- The vehicle may need to be associated to an active InControl account. See INCONTROL ACCOUNT SET UP.
Availability of over-the-air updates may vary, depending on market and vehicle specifications.
