Understanding Land Rover Pivi Pro Map Updates: It's All Over-the-Air
If you own a newer Land Rover (2020+) with the Pivi or Pivi Pro infotainment system, you can forget about USB sticks and manual downloads. Your map updates are delivered wirelessly, or ‘Over-The-Air' (OTA), just like updates on your smartphone. Here's how it all works.
Pivi Pro OTA vs. Traditional USB Updates
The key difference is convenience. The Pivi Pro system uses its built-in Telematics Control Unit (TCU) with an eSIM to connect to a cellular network. This allows it to download map updates in the background without any action required from you.
How to Enable and Check for Pivi Map Updates
To receive OTA updates, you need to ensure two things are enabled in your vehicle's settings:
- Connectivity is Turned On: Navigate to Settings > All > Connectivity. Ensure ‘Mobile data' is enabled and you have a signal.
- Software Update Permissions are Granted: Navigate to Settings > All > Software Update. Ensure you have accepted the terms and conditions and enabled automatic updates.
The system will automatically download updates when they are available. You will typically receive a notification on the screen when a new map version has been successfully installed.
Do I Need a Wi-Fi Connection?
While the system can use its built-in cellular connection, connecting your car to your home Wi-Fi network can speed up the download of large map files. To do this, go to Settings > All > Connectivity > Wi-Fi and connect to your network.
What If My Pivi Pro Isn't Updating?
If you suspect your Pivi maps are outdated and not updating automatically, there could be several reasons:
- Your map subscription may have expired.
- Connectivity may be disabled or the vehicle is in an area with no cellular service.
- There may be a TCU or software issue.
