New owner software question

@NoGaBiker - Our Defenders likely came in on the same boat our timing was so close. Mine is a 22 X-Dyn HSE, but I don't think that H does anything diff w/ wireless CarPlay. I have it. I had to go into the settings to enable it. It came with the 3.0 PiviPro update.
@castle - The Dealer I went to had a dedicated "Technology Specialist". That nerdy young man (is that redundant these days??) knew every feature and his job was to convey it. I am bi-polar on the "Salesman should have known". 1/2 of me thinks it's crazy that the Salesperson doesn't know all the features of one of the few vehicles JLR is selling. Then the other 1/2 recognizes that there is a LOT of turnover of Sales folks at Dealerships. Can you imagine trying to work on car commissions these days in a dealership? I think I'd be in a different career if I had to rely on sales commissions when the manufacturer isn't delivering product.

I figured everything out though!

Quick update,
Our WiFi let’s us monitor each device and data usage, and noticed the defender connects but exchanges very little data
and….
I was also researching where to mount a battery tender since the vehicle may go months between use. As I was learning about that I came across a lot of posts with users saying their batteries weren’t fully charged.
so I am exploring the idea that a less than full battery might delay downloads and updates. I plugged in the noco charger on my defender and it showed less then 25% full, even though I just drove it home from a dealer 250 miles away.
so the charger is on, let’s see if that opens up downloads and updates
