Hi guys, quick question. Have a L405 and looking to see if the software needs updating, connected to my home Wi-Fi and all it keeps saying is checking for update. I left it for 30 minutes and still hadn’t changed, am I doing something wrong?

It was busy telling JLR about where you have been and who with over the last 12 months.

If it got confused I'd do what you do with any computer and switch it off and on again.

I've heard the modern cars have all their service history in the Cloud. All sorts of data gets uploaded and you can start the car over the internet. Seems a bit gimmicky to me and a waste of fuel although I can see it being nice in a Russian winter or possibly central Canada.
 
The other option, have you tried calling the dealer and asking what is up with that? They may know or have an advice without calling you in and charging.

The government can also stop your "connected" car running at anytime they fancy. If you drive a Chinese EV, even the Chinese government can shut your car down :eek: Madness.
 
"Enemy of the State" was good. Car manufacturers are moving towards collating data on you so that they can sell it to ad agencies for extra revenue. They market it as getting to know their customers in order to improve their products.

Mazda do that. I have a 07 plate MX5 and all the service history is online. Never bothered with it as do all my own servicing and know its been done.
 
Pleased my MR2 predates all this nonsense.
Its a right faff if you want to access service history. You had to register and give in my opinion to many personal details. Plus the only garages that can input the service are Mazda registered garages and not your local trusted garage. Just another way of dealers proving that they are stealers and skanking you for every penny:(

I worked in computers all my life, but to me all this "connected" stuff is a step too far. The tentacles of the state are drawing ever tighter around the general public.
