I went from 18C to 19B OTA.
So missed a few inbetween. Reliability with Carplay seems to be the biggest thing I have noticed. I can remote start and then use carplay. Before if I remote started , I would have to shut it off and on again for Carplay to work.
I have also unplugged and replugged without stopping/starting the car and carplay will work.
I read all the release notes and didn't see anything exciting. Looks the same.
Maybe some of the Carplay issues were actually helped with IOS 13? I don't know, hand't used remote start since last winter. Used it this week for the first time since it is cold now. But went from 18C to 19B and IOS 12 to IOS13 since I last used it.

It's a feature in their app called "remote". Among other things it allows you to check the status and location of the Rover as well as keeping trip logs. Also lets you remotely lock, unlock and start it.

I was hoping for a release note...
On 19B I experienced the voice directions on nav sometimes not happening while, for example, listening to a CD or streaming music from CarPlay.
Unless I accidentally hit a button to mute them without realizing it...

I did OTA to 19B a little while ago in CA. I checked today and it says up to date, no 19C for me I guess. It really seems staggered and flaky, as I had to look for the update a few times before it started. IIRC it took about 4 tries on the same afternoon.

It seems fairly random as I didn’t get offered 19B until maybe 3-4 weeks after some people on here, but 19C was offered up quickly while some others don’t have it yet. Maybe they pick a random batch of xxxxx VINs?
