Yep. Main change is it has 'fixed' Auto stop/start which I really didn't want fixed anyway.

I just got the update 2.1.7 two days ago. My auto start/Stop has never worked from day one, but unfortunately it does now!

Yep, I also received 2.17 on 27 Jan. And the Auto-StartStop caught me by surprise.
  • I noticed a bit of weirdness - if the fan is off or on level 4 or below, this will engage. If it is above level 4, auto-startstop will not engage.
  • After I realized that it worked, I was at Auto-Stop and turned the fan up, and may have disabled Auto-StartStop function - car threw a strange message about gear selection, and D(rive) was flashing (at this point, I shifted into Park, and back into Drive and the car shut down. Restarted normally, no sign of any issues.
  • Also, when the brake Hold function is enabled and Auto-StartStop is enabled, starting up from a stop is jerky and definitely not smooth. Have to tap the pedal to restart the engine, and then depress the accelerator pedal to move ahead.

Might this be what you saw? There's no other way to have the digital display show anything other than Pivi navigation, and with satellite view selected it does look like Google Maps when Google is also in satellite view mode. Were you using satellite view on both apps?
I was not viewing in the satellite view.

I tried yesterday extensively to recreate the exact scenario without success. I am also finding that once I engage android auto I can not get back to the pivi navigation. If I click on navigation it just boots up google maps from android auto. In one of my tests after re starting the vehicle I was able to get the pivi navigation going. I then engaged android auto and google maps. It cancelled out the pivi navigation that was active in the dash. Again I could not get back to the pivi navigation even with there not being an active google maps navigation in process.

While running the pivi navigation on both dash and center media screen I started to doubt myself that I had actually engaged the pivi navigation the other day without realizing it was not android auto. The only thing that I can say is that I recalled looking at the main screen and recognizing that it was google maps and it had the android auto surround style at the bottom. I also remember seeing the color of the navigation be different in the dash. When looking at the pivi navigation running yesterday it seemed obvious to me that it was not google maps. I am typically pretty detailed in observation so its a bit of a quandary that I cant replicate the situation. Again it was so obvious to me at the time I figured there must have been an update that sorted it all out.

I guess without the photo we will never really know.

Well thanks for trying to replicate it again and do keep us posted. It would be great if this is or becomes possible (and via HUD too, not just the interactive dash).

so we've got a 2021, and the Software Update screen still showing blank versions. Its been really hard to figure out what state we are in.

then today, the car showed this:


1.9.7 seems pretty dang old. do we need to take this into the dealer to get caught up?

Those are things like your live apps, not your main software version, and they are old. If your main software update view in settings doesn't show anything, then you're still running the version you had on delivery. The first updates might take a month or two to show up, and you've clearly had your car for longer than that, something isn't working right. Is your data activated, and/or your Defender set to connect to your home wifi?

Anyone running the Alexa app with 3.0? If so what do you think and how well does it work?

It works great, pretty slick implementation especially if you are used to Alexa at home. My guess is that most of us received it today, regardless of whether you are at 3.0 or not (I think Alexa is enabled independently of software version, it's just a new live app.)

Default facing the exact same problem

Hey there,
im facing the same problem and i tried to delete and reset the settings and still cannot see the hotspot/wireless option and i cannot connect my phone yo my cars wifi. did you figure out how to solve the problem?

I have followed all the instructions - deleting phones / cars etc. Should I reset to factory setting options (delete all profiles etc)?

One thing to note, I don't have a 'wireless' option under my Connectivity tab on the Pivi. Does this mean it wasn't installed correctly? Is my car not capable (would seem odd) due to age? I received mine Defender in July 2020. Should I reset to factory setting options (delete all profiles etc)?

Any thoughts or options to get the software load again?

thx in advance.
