So car in for a Phase 4 software update and was advised that Phase 5 is now available but there has been trouble loading the software and stability issues. So naturally staying with Phase 5 as experience has taught me there is NO first mover advantage with JLR.
Anyone experience Phase 5 yet?
Do you have release notes you can PM me with what exactly is on offer?
Will this one offer Apple CarPlay and Android Auto, as the Jags seem to have it in their latest update.
My one has just had phase 4 and so far everything is working as it should, my dealer doesn't have phase 5 yet but my car has to go back in for a few bodywork issues so will ask them again.
Had a call with my dealer about other things and he mentioned that Phase 5 is about to hit the dealers and they have been told that it will be the final release.
So just had a call from the dealer that they have successfully loaded Phase 5 on to my car (was previously advised they prefer to load phase 4 as there were early problems on Phase 5 downloads.) So hopefully will be able to report in a couple of days how things have been going
I try not to be the first mover with anything JLR bit looks like I am going to be the guinea pig on this one.

Phase 5 update now comes with Apple CarPlay and Android Auto.
Loads quickly and Menu options very fast compared to Phase 3 I had previously. This update has addressed issues I have had with Phase 3 in particular the voice navigation and safety camera audio warnings.

Great news, just wondering have you tried google maps/apple maps on either AA/ACP in terms of whether they show directions on the main interactive display/HUD or just on the InTouch Pro screens?
Without seeing a working ACP or AA screen I find it difficult to believe. Are the two icons/ buttons there as place holders for future functionality? Like OTA, it does nothing yet....

I was told by my dealer that it's been rolled out to staff cars and one dealer to start with and then a few weeks later it will be generally available. I'll be the first at my dealers to have it installed as they want me to test and feedback to them. We have a good relationship
So my dealer asked if I have the bulletin number for the phase 5 update even though I gave them the update version that was posted here. Am I getting the run around or is that "bulletin number" valid?
The software updates are not in any way delivered to the dealers physically, they are downloaded throug a system called
Pathfinder. Furthermore the updates are vehicle dependent, so for instance if your.car is not equipped with the required hardware for a certain software version, the software will not be available for your car. When the workshop connects a car to the computer it
Makes an online check and returns whatever new versions of software that are available for different modules and systems in
The actual car that is connected to the computer at that particular time. Another way to check for updates is by typing in the
Vin number of the car and check what's available, not recommend but some dealers do it anyway. The problem with doing it
Manually, so to say, is that it requires that the tech has downloaded the latest available version of pathfinder, preferably the same day
He checks for new software. So when you ask your dealer if they have this or that version of software and your car in not there and hooked up to their computer, the answer No can mean several thing. 1 They haven't updated their pathfinder software. 2 They check using a random vin number of another Velar that is equipped with the required hardware. 3 JLR has simply told the dealers to answer no to the question. 4 it just doesn't exist.
Software updates are time consuming and somebody has to pay for it, so if you have not expressed a concern regarding an issue
That will be rectified by that pice of software JLR simply won't pay the dealer for the work.
To sum up this post. As of 10 minutes ago there are NO bulletins in the Topix system that mention anything about Phase 5 in relation to the Velar Model. However the software that contains the ACP and AA exists and has been implemented in The I-Pace and F-Pace. It has Also
Been prereleased to a small amont of dealer that have updated a handful of Velars among a few other models.
Just to be clear, I don't work at JLR or at any dealership, I work with car software development.
I do own a Velar and waiting for my I-pace company car, and I'm probably just as frustrated as all other owners that are eagerly waiting for there ICTP to finally be useful.
I had my first service done today and phase 5 was not available yet according to my dealer. They did install phase 4 and said I would be notified once phase 5 arrives and is ready to go.
Yeah, sounds like its not "official" yet and a lucky few just happened to get it installed early.
