- In this video we look at how to install and setup IPhone Wireless Apple Carplay on the Land Rover Pivi Pro infotainment system. The Pivi pro infotainment is used on many new Land Rover / Range Rover / Jaguar models.
Here is the link to the instruction sheet I have made

Great, many thanks!!! Easy to undesrtand, easy to install. Nobody from my dealers was able to explain this to me.
We are hear to help ! I have been told some of the dealers watch my video - cool - what ever it takes for people to enjoy their Defender more..
I really appreciate it! Would’ve never known.
Thank you for the detailed explanation.
Glad it was helpful!
Brilliant as always, thanks Simon for making it look so easy to do.
Thanks - I was not sure I made it look so easy but the flow chart should help !
I think it was interesting to understand the Bluetooth ( for pairing ) / Wifi ( using ) configuration as this makes the setup process more understandable
@@L663 I found the demo easier, as I'm a visual person. As I pick up my Defender in Adelaide next week, I'm guessing I'll be doing this as it has been sitting on a ship for a few weeks or maybe the dealer will take care of it, either way I'm sorted. Thank you for explaining the whole Bluetooth/Wifi thing as well.
Thank you Simon…you certainly know about helping people and that on screen flowchart is very impressive! Now I have Apple Car Play in the DS but I have not really tried to use it so must see if it works anything like the PIVI system . My car has just been to GS Bristol to have the Haldex and rear differential oils drained, flushed and refilled to cure a rubbery, oily, squelching sound I had on sharp right or left turns..it is now cured completely and I notice that they seem to have uploaded some software improvements. Hence time to check Apple CP again and see if it is relevant to yours. Good work again! Richard😃😃😃😃😃
Hi Richard - I think the flow chart may help some people - some people would prefer to follow step by step instructions and others happy to go with the flow on the video ! Is the house going to be ready for xmas ??
@@L663 All versions are very helpful…I need one for the thermostat/timer settings on our underfloor heating in the kitchen…the electrician took them with him and has now vanished! The Internet will no doubt have some ideas! The house…it is a never ending saga of delays and just this afternoon we have had the new floor laid in the lounge!…the flooring itself is of course, awaiting delivery…probably January! So as most of the inside is complete, we might be in to part of it by Christmas but meanwhile I can get to the garage to finish fitting that out. It is one year on Dec 18th!!!😰😰😰😃😃😃😃🤪🤪🤪🤪Richard
Hi there. Great video thank you, it really helped. Can I ask, I have it all set up on my disco sport and I can’t work out how to get back to using the cars navigation. CarPlay connects automatically and I only have the option from the homescreen to use CarPlay navigation (nav icon with small phone symbol on it). Thanks for any help.
Worked like a treat mate!!
My only question is how can I get CarPlay to full screen without those annoying menu bar icon?
Nice work!! Does this also work on a Range Rover sport 2019?
Lovely job 👍👍👍👍
Thank you so much 😊
Great video Simon and interesting that 2 systems are available, wish I had CarPlay on my d4 , I have bought 3rd party sat nav apps through the landrover app but they have been removed so I paid out and unable to use them . Regards mark
Interesting - once you are on Carplay you are much more self sufficient and future proof but there are a few disadvantages.... no turn signals in the instrument cluster.
Good news - 3.0 on Evoque p300e updated - bad news now my front parking sensors don't work - any tips?
Lots of work in that video - thanks! I’ve been using wireless Apple CarPlay since last week, and have found it really useful on the whole. But occasionally, I’ve found my iPhone 13 pro didn’t automatically connect, so I had to use the USB to use Waze etc. Most of the time it works flawlessly. Perhaps it’s just some initial teething glitches…
Mine has been pretty good - one time it did not connect - then i forced the connection through Pivi and it would not connect to the internet - I had to turn wifi on and off on the phone to reset it. Does you aut high beam remember its setting ? mine keeps resetting to no auto high beam.
@@L663 my auto high-beam did keep resetting (to disable), but with the 3.0.0 update, it worked without me having to re select it. One thing that happens with every software update on mine is that the speedo and the odometer revert to mph and mpg after each install. I have a RHD P300 bought in UK in Sep ‘20, but live and drive it in Belgium, so I normally have kmh / km/l set in the units. It’s an easy fix fix to revert the settings. I let JLR know about it - apparently, this is fixed in later models. It’s a very minor glitch and I can live with it, as updates don’t happen very often.
Do I have to have a network sim in my defender to do the connectivity?
I can’t find the new option in the setting, my vehicle is updated
@@MD-dj2vz No you do not need a network sim - it will connect to your phone.
You may not see the hotspot option in Pivi but you should see your phone wifi network on your phone - it will be LR0003435 or similar where the number is your chassis number. You need to pair the bluetooth and follow the instructions. The pivi will send the wifi password to your phone via bluetooth.
Thank you, Simon. Have you tried using the app on the iPhone to connect to your Dashcam app to download videos since receiving the 3.0 software update and configuring the WI-FI car play? I ask, as I think the auto-connect is causing an issue due to the phone having to disconnect and connect to the dashcam Wi-Fi. During the download of some parking events the auto connect notices the phone and causes it to drop the connection, and then connect to apple car play. I tried switching off my Bluetooth on the phone to see if this would stop the madness, but with mixed results.... I would probably need to try downloading more larger videos to see if apple car play connects again... Also, something to notice, especially if like me you still live in the EU, after the 3.0 software update, the navigation guidance reverted to miles, yards and inches although the speedometer settings remained metric…….
Hi Mike - the issues here is one I anticipated / experienced when i first set up the wireless carplay - your phone can only connect to 1 wifi network... so in the car this is either the Pivi for wireless carplay OR the dashcam - it is not able to connect to both !! I think a phone can connect to multiple Bluetooth devices but as Pivi and Dashcam are both Wifi networks it cannot connect to both and problems may arise !
Way late boom! It's 3:45 pm In Arizona!
Yes i put it up a little earlier than normal !
Thank you for this video, question, did you have to upgrade your operating system first before doing this? Thank you
Yes you MUST have OS3 update installed before you can get this.... this is a free love gift from Land Rover with OS3... think of it as Christmas present for all us Defender owners !
Thank you for this step by step guide on setting up wireless car play. May I suggest a topic? JLR now allow owners to download map updates. I had to get a high capacity USB stick to download the 23 gb files. For some reason it is not clear what USB port to use on the vehicle ( Discovery 5 MY 2021 ). Perhaps other followers of your channel might find that. I’m still puzzled why your top tip Damian Dinning’s channel has been purged of contents, or for that matter your recent VLOG in which said channel was mentioned has vanished into the Evil Empire Ether.
I have no idea why Damian's video disappeared - mine is still iive th-cam.com/video/W6_j_55c9wI/w-d-xo.html
I moved my video to unlisted as it really relied on Damians excellent videos - from now on i need to just rely on my own content !
I did check with Damian before i pointed people to his video and I did share my video with him before posting and no objections were raised.
I did see the map update info so i need to look at that.. it should happen automatically for UK maps ( or your region ) but I will update EU maps before heading to France ( to save data use while travelling etc )
Great video ! thank you ! My LandRover service garage tells me that I cannot update my 2017 Velar to OS3... is it true ?
HI Simon, great content as always - I have a question ? Just collected a 2022 110 HSE with the larger screen. I have followed your video (its obviously dead simple when you know how lol) however my car does not have the WiFi hotspot showing on the Connectivity screen ? I am running the most up to date software, everything else works but no Hotspot visible ? I can see the Signal strength and the 4G connection and when my phone is connected that appears also, so I know the car is giving out the WiFi signal - the dealer has no idea ? They need software technicians now, not mechanics !!! can you shed any light ? Thanks in advance.
im facing the exact same problem. suddenly the hotspot has been disappeared.
Does the Carplay navigation work on the instrument panel?
I’m owner discovery 2021 and don’t have a hotspot on my pivi connection list. Is it normal?
Hi Simon, great video as always! Qq as my Defender is not yet build - does it mean JLR has now with OS3.0 enabled WiFi Hotspot on each car? I haven't added the WiFi Hotspot to my build as no one could tell me the 2+ year costs for this and now it is to late to add (got a build date by end Dec 21). If WiFi Hotspot is now avaliable for all, which eSIM will be used?
Well this is an interesting one... all cars are built ( i believe ) with the wifi transmitters in the dash BUT Land Rover can control what data you can access with this so i suspect you will only be able to use the wifi "hotspot" for internal network use (Carplay) not internet. You can setup a hotspot on your phone for the kids in the back of the car and now ( with OS3 ) you have wireless carplay you will have lots of apps on the Pivi screen with data straight from your phone so the hotspot looks less attractive an option now ?
@@L663 my current XC90 have a WiFi Hotspot with a SIM Slot so that I can choose the data plan and I'm aware about the costs. Benefit is that it use the external antenna and by that I have less radiation within the car. Will see when my Defender is there if there is an option to enable the WiFi Hotspot to use for internet access. BTW in one of our older videos you showed that JLR provides in some countries the middle console with a nano SIM slot (which might bypass the eSim). Did you got any feedback on that? Will it properly work to replace the console to use my own SIM with data plan for internet access? Questions over Questions.......
@@xxxWAWIBUxxx good questions - i think that the nano Sim may be a retrofit that will be offered by some companies in the future there will I am sure be other options too that do not need the nano sim to be fitted.
I wonder why don’t you replace this small scren with the 11.5 large screen
Simon is possible to add a wireless charger to the Defenders that don't come with it. As in ordering the spar part for a Defender X and installing it on a Defender SE?
Cheers
It is possible and I know someone who is in the process of doing it but its not easy ! there is some software files that need changing - as there are other charging options available i would look at these rather then the genuine retrofit.
Thank you for this video - I live in Israel and just upgraded to OS 3 - but I don’t seem to have the hotspot feature within Connectivity (in Israel eSim isn’t supported for some reason) - but I don’t see while local wifi hotspot cannot be supported- I assume that I won’t be able to use Wireless CarPlay - any help would be appreciated
Greetings to you in Israel ! I know that some regions do not support car play at all - due to some license issues and it may be the same with the hotspot. I am guessing you have the nano sim in the dash ? does your carplay work with one of the USB dongles i have reviewed before ? It may be that Land Rover have overlooked the wifi setting for regions without the esim ? One thing you can try is see if you can see the car Wifi network on your phone ? ( it may be turned on even though you do not have the soft button )
Hi, I am in the USA and really enjoy your videos. I have a 2020 Jaguar F Pace SVR. Could you tell if there is any new update for this car to use wireless Carplay in the older infotainment system? Thank you so much
Hi Marcos - nice wheels ! I am not sure about the F-Pace - do you have the Pivi pro software similar to the Defender ?
@@L663 Thank you! I don't have the Pivi pro but I am getting over the air software updates. Just not sure if JLR can update the old system to Pivi pro with an over the air software update. Since you are closer to the source (aka UK!) I will keep checking out your videos for updates. Thank you so much for the reply
So mine doesnt have that "wireless/hotspot" option - however when i removed my phone from the BT menu and re-added it, it automatically connected to carplay wirelessly. Finally - welcome to 2021 LR Defender lol
Strange but it works - as long as you can see the car wireless network on your phone you are OK
Does this work on cars in the US?
Managed to get to the point of forgetting my devices, then when I tried to connect to the RRXXXXX wifi hotspot, it asks for a password. I have no idea what this could be? It's interesting that mine doesn't say Wireless / Hotspot, it just says Wireless. This is on a 2021 Velar R-Dynamic HSE.
Hello Simon, very useful I think. I take my hat off to you. That's complicated, to complicated for me. I know how to turn the computer on and off. 😄
I hope it helps someone !
@@L663 I'm sure it's very helpful.
Love your eyes 👀!
My eyes have a mind of their own !
Hi,
For some reason my defender doesn’t have 3.0 available and currently stuck on version 2.1.6, please let me know how you got 3.0 version available.
Thanks
Hi Alex - the cars do not get updated at the same time due to server capacity issues ( i guess ) so it should be rolled out to you soon
Some regions may be behind the UK.
Give it another week and then it may be worth contacting your dealer.
There is nothing you can do to prompt the update - other than driving the car in a good mobile phone reception area so that the inbuilt coms module on the car can see and download the update.
Thanks Simon. When my Defender updated a couple of days ago I was surprised to find it was to OS 2.1.6a not 3.0. Have you seen this version? Is there anything I can do to encourage it to download 3.0?
That seems odd - this would appear to be an older level. It may be it needs to update to this version before going on to version 3.0. Keep driving the car as it is when you are driving that the new software can download. Do you live in a poor signal area ?
The signal here is so so but the car is connected to the house Wi-Fi. Maybe updates don’t come via the Wi-Fi?
Yes it seems to favour using the cars own tracker Esim for software updates. I thought that it used house wifi but I got some information last week that this is not the case.
Had the same older update as well. We will probably be waiting a while for version 3 down here in NZ.
@@henkdekock6367 in Australia I only have 2.1.6b, updated 27 Dec 2021 just got the 110 2 days ago… could not find hotspot in the menu… have to wait… bummer
When you use carplay to navigate using waze can you see it in the dash screen or is it still only the Land Rover satnav system?
Good point Mark - you CANNOT see the waze / google map etc turn instructions in the instrument cluster.
I was contemplating a video "carplay is it worth it" sort of video where I compare the advantages / disadvantages between Pivi and the Carplay in areas like Navigation / Voice / Infotainment / Music etc
That’s a shame. Often I didn’t use CarPlay as I couldn’t be bothered to plug it in every drive although I do prefer Waze and prefer to use Spotify over CarPlay. The wireless feature will make it more useable for me.
All looks straight forward to me. I wonder how many "took a note of" LR005911 😂 Love your videos btw I have not got a new Defender 😂😂😂
Yes this is the last part of my chassis number...I dont think it is top of the list for people to steal based on all the times we have ripped the car apart !
@@L663 I didn't mean for that reason I meant to connect to your Hot Spot😂
@@GrahamGphotoParker Ah yes - but they need the wifi hotspot code...
Any chance I can buy the HST STOMPER KIT FOR FREELANDER 2??? I'm still trying a year on!!!!
We have the front on our website in stock now
Hi, I live in Italy and I have an LD S I did all the procedures to update PIVOPRO. But for me after the update the wireless hotspot button does not appear in my menu. Do you have any objections?
Yes you will not get the wifi hotspot but you should get a wifi signal from the car if you look on your phone now ?
Any of your staff use android auto? I would like to see if there is a difference between the two set ups and how they function.
George ( my son ) has Android - let me see what the screens look like - all the Pivi part will be same I suspect.
I have looked through your video list and can’t find anything so apologies.
But I have 2020 RR Vogue SE, CarPlay connects via cable in USB but when disconnect cable CarPlay disconnects. Surely in a car of this age and price it doesn’t just have wired CarPlay. Any info or video links to help as I cannot find any. Minefield 😣
The Defender had a software over the air update to fix this issue..... not sure if the 2020 Range Rover has SOTA.... may be a dealer software update ? worth asking the dealer.
@@L663 many thanks for your reply. I shall check. I appreciate your time 👍🏼
My 2021 90 hard top still hasn’t downloaded or updated to 3.0 is there any way I can prompt it?
Hi Reece no the best thing you can do is take it for a drive - this is when it downloads the new files. They are sent out on a rotation so as not to overload the server I think
I got Range Rover evoque 2023 , and I can’t connect dash cam and CarPlay at the same time … is there any solution ? Thanks
Yes although this is a restriction of your phone more than the car - you car can only connect to one wifi network at a time....both carplay and dashcam both use wifi phone connection !
Will this be on the new Range Rover - Evoque i collect it in a week? wireless carplay was a want from me but was gutted i had to plug it in
Well i believe it has the same pivi pro system - take a look and let us know ! I need to get my hands on the new Evoque !
@@L663 great I will let you know in a few days. do you know if its possible to fit a aftermarket wireless charger seemed like a pointless addon until this update :(

Hello from Russia, today my jaguar fpace got update to os 3.0. I haven't in my default configuration wifi connection. But wireless Android auto connection work well via Bluetooth with new update...
Hi - you will have a wifi network now if you look on your phone - carplay works across wifi - bluetooth is just used to setup the process.
Hi 👋 nice 👌 one ☝️
🙏🙏❤️❤️
Hello 😊 First !
hi Simon, is wireless CarPlay available on the Touch Pro System?
I dont think so without some add on hardware
@@L663 thanks
Hi Simon
I thought your video was the answer to my problems I was waiting for.
I downloaded 3.0.0 couple of days ago. Followed your instructions to the letter, however I don’t get Hotspot/Wireless, only Wireless. When I go to Wi-fi on my phone, it’s asking for a password. I don’t have a password. Can you help?
Thats fine - you just need the wireless option.
The password for the wifi is shared by the bluetooth pairing - you do not need to enter it.
Main thing is to check you have the wifi network for you car visible on your phone.
Try and start again - delete the phone from Pivi and delete the wifi network from your phone ( as you did not enter password it is probably not saved )
Let me know how you get on and where you get stuck following my instructions
Are you on iphone or android ?
@@L663 It seems my phone isnt connecting to the car via wifi. Landrover Wifi is visible on my phone, but it is locked. Seems I need the password. Looks very different to your Pivi, like I said, I don't get Hotspot/wireless. Its like my OS3 download missed some items. I have the large screen in mine. I'm using iphone 11. I have asked my dealer to take a look as I have tried everything.
@@newshamdr Do you have the dashcam installed ?
I dont think the wireless network is called LAnd Rover - i think it should be your chassis number LR0003454 etc
@@L663 No dashcam. Only other device in the car is my iwatch. Sorry it does read LR071757. But is locked. I've got wireless switched on. I have an Apple CarPlay Settings tab. When I click this, it come up with a message, Connect a compatible device via USB or Bluetooth. But my phone is connected by bluetooth and works fine. Thanks for your help.
Just picked up my 2020 First Ed and it’s on OS 2.0.6? Doesn’t seem to let me or say I can get OS3? Spoke to my Landrover dealer and they said it’s fully up to date? Any ideas?
Hi Jack - congratulation on the new car !
What region are you in ?
You may need to drive the car a bit for it to pickup the update initially.
@@simonjefferson hi Simon!
Thanks very much - based in the UK - South West - I made an error on my version it’s actually 2.1.6A.
Interestingly I am missing the mobile hotspot option and the weather apps as well in the car. Done system resets and hard resets makes no different. Defiantly know the car has these features but still nothing
Also not sure if the first edition is meant to come with ambient lighting? If it does that options gone bye bye as well! There isn’t much info out there on what is the actual spec for these versions
@@jacktaylor3287 If you give me your chassis number i can see if your car is built with the ambient lighting hardware. I think you car should update to v3.0 very soon as without this you have no wireless carplay etc - my car is an early model S and this has updated automatically without payment or prompting. Have you tried connecting to your car with Incontrol mobile app ?
@@simonjefferson Jumped in this evening to see what the car was saying and it says last update was the 6th Dec 2021 to the version 2.1.6A. I’ve had it connected to my mobile hotspot acting as a Wifi device to try and encourage it to hunt for an update but nothing.
The car is connected to my Landrover Remote App - I did have both the InControl and the Landrover remote connected but uninstalled the former as found the latter to be better.
@@jacktaylor3287 The software does not download via the Pivi mobile connection but uses the telematics control unit SIM connection - you know this is working if you can see the location of your car on your incontrol app. I think it will update soon if not you may need to call LR customer service and see what the official release date of OS3 is for your car.
I tried to update my Defender to OS3 but it says there aren‘t any updates. What must I do?
What region are you in ? Uk?
Hello, so i received the update OS 3.0 two days ago and I saw the option hotspot/wireless and couple of minutes later this option disappeared. I tried to connect my phone to my car first by WiFi but I cannot see my land rover name on my iphone’s wifi. so how can i connect my apple carplay wirelessly?
OK this is a common question.
The initial connection for the carplay is via bluetooth - this gives the wifi pass code to the phone to logon and communicate with carplay via wifi.
You should be able to see the wifi network of your car ( normally your car chassis number last part ) on your phone but you cannot log into it as the wifi passcode is secret ! Land Rover do not want you to have this as you have not paid for wifi hotspot.
@@L663 do you mean my paid for the wifi hotspot in incontrol or the esim card?
Same problem here hotspot in kuwait does not appear at all
For some reason my songs sound way better when I connect the apple lead to the CarPlay.
Hi I’m from the 🇺🇸..I got the update but I need a password to connect to the carWiFi on my phone. Do you know how I can get the password for the carwifi?
I got the os 3.0
Hi - sorry for the late reply - just had a short holiday
You need to pair with the bluetooth first - this will then give the code to your phone
I have updated my car to 3.0 software but when I enter to settings I can’t see hotspot/wireless can I have solution
Do you have an option that just says wireless ? can you send screen shot of your screen to me ?
Hi - just thinking some more - can you go on your phone and see if you can see the car wifi - it will be something like LR0343434
if you can see the car wifi from your phone dont worry about this wireless / hotspot check
@@L663 Hi! same issue here: I have OS3.0 and only the option "Wireless" is available. Indeed I can switch on and off my car wifi LR012345 and I can even see it on my phone BUT I cannot connect to it because no password is shown on the PiVi screen (btw, also no frequences or even the name; just the on/off slider) ... pretty odd, isnt' it?! Any clue or ideas are welcome
btw, great channel and great hints! thank you for your efforts and sharing! :)
@@yano7794 So here is what i think happens... but i am not sure. .. if you have not got a car with the hotspot option you will just see the "WIRELESS" option. Also i dont think LR want to publish the wifi password so the wifi password is sent to the phone as part of the bluetooth pairing process. Make sure you follow the steps in turn and you should be OK and not need the password. Please let me know how you get on.
@@L663 thanks for your swift reply!
Indeed I've never had the "Hotspot" option even if I do have the "Mobile Data" one ... also somehow weird in my eyes... ?
Anyway: " the wifi password is sent to the phone as part of the bluetooth pairing process" doesn't seem to work for me: I've removed and re-paired my Android 10 phone a couple of times (from both PiVi and phone as you already mentioned) but still my phone doesn't connect to my MY2021 Defender wi-fi nor the wireless Android Auto starts ... !?
In that case I’ll have to drive to the edge of civilisation - Norwich.
What about me - I have to drive to Swindon !
After a trip to the big smoke (Norwich) yesterday OS3.0 downloaded. It took three attempts at home to install it which begs the question whether a mobile phone signal is required during installation and not just for downloading. Interestingly the car never used to connect to the strongest signal here (Vodafone) but always favoured O2 but since installing OS3.0 it now uses Vodafone as well which might improve things in future, who knows. BTW what happened to the weather app in Pivi? It seems to have disappeared from my Home Screen and isn’t even available to reinstall.
Correction…..after a reboot the weather app mysteriously reappeared.
