Hi
Anyone using the WiFi hotspot feature? I have latest kit and have installed sim card - getting the live services, but not the option to use the hotspot. Anyone done this?
Enabling hotspot
Hi I’ve just installed an echo dot in my F Type R and the hot spot is excellent. All you need is a broadband SIM card, insert in card reader and set up in connectivity. Ps alexa is the best infotainment device for the car. I found trying to operate the touch screen quite dangerous at times. If Jaguar ever get round to activating Just Drive that would make the car totally hands free. Ps you don’t have to have the echo dot on display, the acoustics in the cabin means you can keep it in the closed center console and it only needs one cable.
I have used my phone as the hotspot and now have the echo dot connected and playing through car speakers. Should break up the monotony of the Edinburgh to Manchester monthly commute. Not sure if Alexa plays eye spy

I had the infotainment software updated yesterday and now have the ability to configure a wifi hotspot under the connectivity menu. My phone connects to it successfully (but fruitlessly as my car doesn’t have a slot for a SIM card). So I can confirm that it is available on my MY18 F-Type.

Hi Nz 400, hope you enjoying the car. Do you know when the software update was released. Do have the software number. I will like to get my 400 updated, it must have only just come out as you know my only roll out of production in Jan. It is great and all good so far. Phil.

Hi Fez, try as I might, I can’t find the software version number. They tried updating the software a week ago and it failed (multiple attempts). They took it back in on Friday and successfully installed it. If you know how to find out the version number, let me know. Otherwise be assured that the ‘latest’ update includes access to enable the hot spot. It also displays temperature information (inside and out) on the main dash and I’ve discovered that the screensaver includes a number of F-type images. None look the same as my car sadly.
