    There are lots of ways to see this information about the car – Dealer, Vista, Topix even.  But this is an actual build sheet that follows the car as it’s being built in the Solihull factory.

    Affixed with masking tape directly to the carrier that moves the Range Rover from station to station as it’s built.

    Pivi Pro 4.1.1
    OS Release 4.1.1 and 4.1.1_

    With our continued drive to deliver improvements to your vehicle, this update brings enhancements to the following systems:

    Wireless Device Charging:
    Improved detection and adaption to phones resulting in the initiation of charging being less sensitive to device location. Updates to communication with Apple devices running the latest iOS releases.

    High Voltage (HV) Battery Charge Control:
    Changes to the control of the charging cable locking pin to reduce the possibility of an unresponsive locking pin.
    Changes to the charge indicator LED behavior
    – The flashing white LED charge indicator no longer illuminates when attempting to plug-in the charge cable when the locking pin is already in a locked position.
    – If the charging pin is stuck in a midway position during locking attempt, a Rapid flashing white LED to indicate the error condition. In such cases recommend removal/reinsertion of charging cable.

    Sound System:
    General calibration & system volume refinements including a fix for an issue where the audio could be heard through an incorrect speaker channel.

    ABS (Anti-Lock Braking System):
    – Updates to remove noises from the brake system modulator (applicable to New Range Rover (L460) and New Range Rover Sport (L461 )).
    – Improvement in Anti-Lock Brake system diagnostics.
    – Better detection and response for DTC C055E System Stiffness.

    Vehicles without Surround Cameras:
    Added automatic display of the rear view when the vehicle rolls back plus other general performance improvements.

    Powertrain:
    PHEV Vehicles fitted with Belt Integrated Starters:
    Resolved an issue that could result in a delayed engine start.

    V8 Engine Defender:
    Improvements to the oil monitoring systems.

    Jaguar I-PACE (21MY Only – already included in later models):
    Improvements to cold weather range prediction accuracy.
    Improved support for Charge Now.
    Fixed Time charging now works across multiple days.
    Improved range estimation for vehicles fitted with 20″ wheels.
    Improved range estimation impact influenced by the vehicle’s climate control system.
    Range estimation updates more frequently, preventing unexpected range drop off at lower range values.

    Defender and Discovery 6-cylinder vehicles:
    Resolved an issue where the 02 sensor could incorrectly result in the display of an engine warning light.

    All other vehicles:
    General powertrain refinements.

    This will probably be fixed soon enough but thought posting could help people searching if they’re stuck.

    A bug in the InControl activation process causes issues with certain special characters in an email address and/or passwords not complex enough.

    SSM76095
    If unable to successfully activate InControl on an MY24 vehicle

    WORKAROUND 1 – Email address format:
    There is currently a bug within the new ADTS process where the use of an email address which contain certain special characters (.) (-) (_) will result in a login failure on the PIVI screen. Whilst there are many combinations that can be rejected, the most common two we have found:

    • Email addresses containing a hyphen (- )
    Example: jaguar-landrover@mail.com

    • Email address that contain two dots ( . )
    Example: jaguar.land.rover@mail.com

    Example of email address which will fail: jaguar-landrover@mail.com /jaguar.land.rover@mail.com
    Example of email address which should work: johnsmithjlr@mail.com

    WORKAROUND 2 – If an InControl account already exists for the user:
    1. Confirm with the user whether their existing password meets the criteria outlined below:
    • A minimum of 12 characters in length
    • No character occurs more than twice consecutively
    • Contain at least one capital letter
    • Contain at least one numerical character

    If the user’s password does not meet the above criteria, recommend that the user/customer resets their password prior to attempting the activation process and proceed to step 2.

    If the password already meets the above criteria, no password reset is required and you can proceed to step 3.

    2. If the password has been reset, confirm it is working by having the user/customer log into the InControl Owner Portal

    3. Prior to starting the activation process, please ensure the TCU Reset Routine is ran via TOPIx Cloud

    4. In the vehicle, start the engine and leave it running. Before trying to sign-in to InControl, perform a PIVI Cold Boot. This is achieved by pressing and holding the volume/power button in until the PIVI screen goes black and restarts**

    5. Go to Settings > Connectivity and ensure that both Mobile Data and Wi-Fi options are disabled

    6. Go to Settings > All > General > InControl Services > Sign In to InControl

    7. Sign in using InControl email and password

    8. Upon successful sign in, this should complete the activation of services. Please ensure the vehicle is an area of good network connectivity and the engine remains on for at least 5 minutes If the above steps are not successful, please refer to the workaround above for the scenario “If an InControl account already exists for the user”

     

    **Editor’s Note: Technically step 4 isn’t correct for MY24 vehicles which no longer have a volume/power button.  For those, it’s a press and hold on steering wheel phone button for 15 seconds.
