OS 3.0 and Wireless CarPlay / Android Auto rolling out

Day 1 update: I won't do these daily, but if anything changes in my actions to potentially drive anything. So, think of it as my log. I connected to my home wifi last night and then double locked. I don't know if it stays connected over night as when I started it up this a.m. it looked like it took time to connect to my wifi. The AT&T mobile connection was still zero (maybe 1) bars. Nothing happened. I don't know if it phones home or if it waits on a timer. I suspect the later as nothing happened. So, plan #2: I turned it on for an hour (turned off the Auto-stop) and left it running with the wifi connection on. Just turned it off and locked it up. I didn't have time to wait 10 minutes, so I'll see if anything changed tonight.

Does anyone else have an issue with Apple CarPlay starting up every time you get in the Defender? Mine works 3 out of 4 times. Once in a while it will not show the iPhone as connected wirelessly to Apple CarPlay. I have to go into settings -> connectivity -> Apple CarPlay -> select my phone -> click start Apple CarPlay.

Does anyone know how to get the google maps on the digital dash?
ince getting updated to wireless car play it has only ever showed the pivi navigation in the dash while even using android auto. Yesterday I had the dash set on the two dial display. While having google maps navigation already running I switched the dash to show navigation and boom there was google maps right in the dash.
Today when I went back in again it was back to Pivi navigation and I could not get it back to google maps.

Damian Dinning (Product Manager of PiviPro) put out an EXCEPTIONAL video about how to do this in the 3.0 version. Unfortunately, all of his videos have disappeared from YouTube. Some speculate that the Legal / Management team at JLR shut him down. They were awesome quality & informative. If you can find them, he walked thru the process. I'm still awaiting 3.0, so I have no clue and miss the videos. If you are better at Googling than me (who isn't??) you may locate them. If not, search for 3.0 features of switching the nav that integrates to the native PiviPro nav. It replaced native everywhere except I don't recall getting any answer re: the HOV directions. If you find anything, post it here! Good luck.
He has a FB post on the "All New Defender Owners Group" on 11/8/2021 that was nice & long. He touches on the topic there.

The interactive dash supports google maps for sure. I watched it for about two minutes thinking that I should probably take a picture of it for proof but then thinking that an update must have come out without my knowledge "fixing the glitch."
I just read that FB post but I dont see it providing any answers unless I need to press the the navigation shortcut in the side bar to get it to switch over on the dash. I did not try that.

@Moretti - all I remember is that it WAS pretty complex. I didn't pay attention thinking I would return once I got 3.0. Now I'm still on 2.6 and he's been banned! (Or left JLR and yanked it).
EDIT: Here's same stuff I found in another place. If I had 3.0 I would go thru it and try to interpret to steps but I think it has the start to get folks going.
