No more starting from the beginning again. :)


My car is april 2018. Did the last few firmware updates OTA :

We went on a trip to northern Italy and lost data connection just north of Metz.

My NL-dealer tried the OTA, but it kept 'stupid' saying ' up to date '.

So I contacted a dealer near the Lago Maggiore, very near a hotel we booked (email, google translate..).

Too bad they were booked full until today...

Never got a SIM card with mine, If you buy second hand you get whats you buy. Dealer or Previous owner might have removed it.

Reminds me need to update Maps... before it all runs out.

What do you actually lose if you let your in-control subscription lapse? (other than Maps update)

Update eventually finished!
Now on 21 which fixed the annoying media forgetting its shuffle setting and what it played last!
Hopefully also fixed the blank screen fault. Messed about a bit and would defo have crashed before. Dealer said there were a lot of other fixes too.

Not sure if this is common knowledge but dealer mentioned holding down the media on button for 30 seconds resets it. Just in case it happens again.

I have InControl but no maps update (unless I'm prepared to pay for them - oh, and get a Windows PC.

InControl give you the tracker and stolen vehicle alerts. And the remote features, but there are actually three subscriptions, the remote one is inexpensive.
