Your Voice Recognition System allows hands-free access to your media, navigation, phone, and climate systems. To activate voice recognition, just simply say the wake-up word 'Hey Land Rover' or press the voice control button on the steering wheel.
-
Can I change the language of the Voice Recognition System?
The voice language is set based on the system language. To select a different language for the Voice Recognition System, simply choose a different system language from the vehicle settings menu.
-
During voice control, turn signal sounds are not audible?
By reducing all ambient sound, the recognition rate increases.
-
The settings for voice recognition show controls for confirmation and feedback, what are these?
With ‘voice command confirmations’ enabled, the Voice Recognition System confirms your voice request by repeating the instruction. For example, after saying ‘Call home’ the system will say ‘Calling home’. Disabling this feature speeds up the time in which the system is able to carry out the task. With ‘voice feedback’ enabled, the system prompts you on what to say next. Again, disabling this function once you have become accustomed to the system will shorten the interaction time. Please note that even after you’ve disabled ’voice feedback’, the system may still require further input from you in certain situations. It is also possible to interrupt the system whilst it is still speaking.
-
Why doesn’t the Voice Recognition System recognise certain radio stations?
This can happen when several radio stations share a similar name. In this case the system will display a list of possible stations to choose from. Simply tap the name of your station or read out the line number.
Alternatively, try saying the full station name.
-
Can the Online Media Player be controlled by voice?
You can open the Online Media Player with voice controls through the wake-up word "Hey Land Rover" or the ‘Voice’ button on the steering wheel by using commands such as ‘Launch Online Media’ or ‘Launch player. The Online Media Player also works via Alexa commands.
USB CONNECTIVITY
-
Can I use portable media storage drives?
We don’t recommend the use of portable media storage drives as the power consumption for these drives varies significantly.
-
Is high-speed charging supported?
The USB-C port included in the panel connected to the infotainment system supports high speed 15W charging.
-
Is there a difference in functionality between the USB ports in the vehicle?
The panel in the front of the vehicle features one conventional USB port and a USB-C port, both of which are connected to the Pivi infotainment system. Both ports support Apple CarPlay®2 and Android AutoTM3. All other USB ports in the vehicle are for charging only.
-
Is USB 3.0 supported?
Yes.
-
What capacity USB sticks can be used?
USB sticks of up to 128GB have been tested with up to 10,000 tracks. Performance may be reduced with larger capacity USB sticks or a greater number of tracks.
Please note that before a USB stick can be used, you may need to reformat it as FAT32 or NTFS if not already in either of these formats. Please make sure you save any data on the USB stick as reformatting will erase all data.
-
Which audio formats are supported for music playback?

The following file extensions are supported: AAC, M4A, M4B, MP3, WAV, PCM, WMA, OGG, AIF, AIFF, AIFC, FLAC and MKA.
Please note: USB sticks should be formatted either as FAT32 or NTFS. exFAT is not supported.
MAP VIEWS AND INTERACTIONS
-
I have selected the satellite map view option, but only one of the displays is displaying the satellite map view?
The navigation settings allow you to select the satellite map view for either the Interactive Driver Display or the Touchscreen allowing you to have any combination of map views across the displays according to your preference.
-
How can I search along my route for a POI?
Select a POI category or enter a search command e.g. Italian restaurants. Pan the map along your route, Italian restaurants will be shown after a few seconds.
-
How do I select different Map Views in the virtual instrument display?
To change the layout of the Interactive Driver Display access the settings through the steering wheel. For additional Driver Display preferences, access the main Pivi Pro Settings > Navigation > Driver Display.
-
Why does the Navigation map stop moving when I use the pinch to zoom gesture?
As soon as you interact with the map it switches to ‘Explore’ mode. This allows you to locate places and check the route or traffic in the local area etc. The map will automatically return to ‘guidance’ mode after 60 seconds or when you press the re-centre button in the bottom of the Touchscreen.
ROUTE GUIDANCE
-
Occasionally the speed limit information displayed on the Navigation system does not match that shown on the actual road signs, why is this?
If your vehicle is fitted with Traffic Sign Recognition, a combination of information contained in the on-board map database and visible road signs is displayed. However, in certain situations a road sign may not be visible to your vehicle’s cameras – for example, if the road sign is located near a junction on a side road or the system may read a sign on a slip road or junction.
If your vehicle hasn’t been fitted with Traffic Sign Recognition then speed limits shown are based on the information available when the on-board map database was compiled.
Note: Speed limits and safety camera locations are updated whenever the onboard maps are updated.
While every effort is taken to provide accurate information, the responsibility for obeying traffic regulations remains firmly with the driver.
-
When I search for a destination it indicates the distance, but after I confirm the destination the distance usually increases significantly?
To provide faster search results, the distance in search is calculated as a straight line. A more precise distance is calculated when the full route is planned.
-
How many waypoints can I create along a route?
You can create as many waypoints along the route as you like, including your destination. These are sequenced in the order you add them. To reorder your waypoints, tap the expand arrow where the ETA information is displayed within navigation. This will display the various waypoints.
-
Why is the home screen showing an estimated time of arrival (ETA) for a destination that I haven’t selected?
The Navigation system learns your regular journeys and then predicts that this may be your potential destination and the ETA corresponds to this based on current traffic conditions. With commutes enabled, the system can provide your ETA even if you haven’t set a destination – keeping you informed about any potential issues on your preferred route. If you sometimes drive an alternative route to the same destination, the system will learn this too. When more than one route has been learnt for the same destination, the system displays the quickest route and ETA based on current conditions. When you begin your journey it will display as a line on the map, but will not read out turn-by-turn instructions – it assumes you know the route. If traffic conditions worsen however, and you deviate from your current route, and from any other routes you’ve previously taken to this destination – the system will ask if you would like to switch to turn-by-turn guidance. This can be especially useful if you’re in an unfamiliar location. If a faster route is found which you have not driven before the system will propose this faster route. Once you follow the detour on to unfamiliar roads the system (assuming Smart Voice Guidance is enabled), will activate turn by turn instructions. Once you return to familiar roads the system automatically mutes the voice guidance instructions.
-
How many journeys do I need to make to the same destination before the Commute feature learns the journey?
It generally requires two journeys to the same destination from the same start point before a ‘Commute’ is learnt. The current time must also be within +/- 1 hour of the learnt start time.
-
How do I set a destination?
There are several ways to set a destination with Pivi Pro1. First, the methods available directly from the home screen navigation tile where no destination has been set:
1. Set home as your destination. Simply tap the home icon in the home screen navigation tile. The system calculates the route based on your preferences which can be changed in navigations settings.
Note: if a location has not yet been set for home, the system will launch the navigation system and guide you through the process to set a location. For security, it may be preferable to set a location which is sufficiently close to your home for the system to guide you there but in the event of unauthorised use of the vehicle this would not show the real location of your home.
2. Clicking on the search icon in the navigation tile opens the navigation system with the default search page. Click on a POI (place of interest) category icon e.g. food and drink or click on the search bar to type in a specific location, address or, where supported, postcode. Addresses can be entered as one line. As you type the system searches for possible matches as well as offering auto complete word options. Tapping on the number of results or the hide keyboard icon reveals matches based on the characters entered. Tap on a result. The system now displays a corresponding results list.
Here’s an example of how this works in practice. Tap on the search bar and type ‘star’, tap on ‘results’. The system displays matches that include ‘star’. Tap on ‘Starbucks’ to see all available Starbucks locations around you. The map will update the search area when you zoom or move around on the map. Tap on ‘Go’ to start guidance immediately or tap the place to reveal more info.
Secondly, you can tap the navigation icon at the bottom of the Touchscreen twice. This is a shortcut to the ‘Destination’ settings screen. From here you can select one of three options, ‘Address entry’ (including postcode), ‘Search’ or ‘Destinations’. ‘Destinations’ can be Home, Recent destinations, Favourite destinations, Shared destinations or Commutes.
1. When a commute is available it will be displayed on the home screen navigation tile. If more than one commute is available, based on your current location and time of day, it will display ‘commutes available’. Tapping on the navigation tile takes you directly to a list of the available commutes.
2. Alternatively, select a destination from the map screen, and tap the menu button in the bottom corner of the map. Again, the three destination options, ‘Address’, ‘Search’ and ‘Destinations’ will be shown.
3. You can also send places or destinations to your vehicle via the Route Planner smartphone app or website. A place ‘saved’ in the Route Planner will appear in your favourite destinations once your vehicle has connected to the Internet and synced the destinations. If Navigation is open on the screen when a new destination is received from the Route Planner, the destination will appear as a pop-up panel. Tapping ‘use now’ will confirm the destination in the in-car navigation system. Places set as a destination via the Route Planner appear in recent destinations.
-
Why hasn’t the destination I sent to my vehicle appeared?
Destinations can only be received when the vehicle has a suitable data connection. In some cases, even though the system may be shown as connected, the mobile network could be experiencing high volumes of connections or an area might have poor reception, preventing the system from receiving the destination.
-
How can I view alternative routes?
Once you’ve selected a destination and confirmed it as a destination by clicking ‘GO’, a pop-up will appear briefly. Tap on ‘Routes’ to view the default route (at the top of the list) and up to two alternative routes. Select your preferred route and tap ‘start’ to commence guidance.
-
How do I use the destination search function?
Simply enter a place, postcode or address in the search box. Even if you spell the name/address incorrectly, the search function will usually recognise the intended location. Click on the number of results or hide keyboard button to reveal the related results.
If your vehicle has a data connection, the search will access the latest information in the cloud as well as your vehicle’s on-board database.
-
What’s the most efficient way to search for a destination?
To save time, press the hide keyboard icon or number of results after typing enough characters for the system to indicate there are 5 results in the case of vehicles with a 10” Touchscreen or for vehicles with larger screen sizes, 8 results. This will display a full list of possible results. Tapping on a name item in the list will then result in the navigation system searching for results based on the text entered.
-
When entering a postcode using the address entry method, why isn’t there an option to add a house number?
The postcode entry option searches from a central point within that postcode. However, it is possible to search using a street name and house number.
-
Why does the fuel-warning icon sometimes appear when I set a destination?
To warn you that you don’t have enough fuel to complete your journey without a fuel stop.
To easily build a fuel stop into your journey, tap on the fuel/energy warning. Doing this will display filling/charge stations along your route close to the point you will need to fuel/charge – it will also provide a more accurate estimated time of arrival (ETA).
-
What is the arrival view?
When you are approximately five minutes from your destination, an arrival view pop-up inviting you to search for parking appears. Clicking on ‘show parking’ displays a list of the car parks nearest to your destination. The distance between your destination and each car park is shown. When you click on ‘Go’, the car park is added as a waypoint.
-
What is Smart Voice Guidance?
With Smart Voice Guidance enabled in navigation settings on regular journeys, the navigation system will alert you to traffic delays on your route and recommend an alternative route if one is available. If the new route includes roads you are unfamiliar with the system will automatically enable voice guidance and turn by turn visual instructions. On returning to roads you are familiar with, the system automatically mutes voice guidance instructions.
-
What are commutes?
The system learns routes you drive from a specific location to a specific location, e.g. from work to home and vice versa. Other frequent journeys travelled at a similar time of day can also be learnt.
In the home screen (as well as the main navigation feature) the system will display up to three predicted destinations based on the machine learning. The destination will be shown along with a road on the route which allows you to differentiate between routes where you have previously driven more than one route for a given destination. The expected ETA (estimated time of arrival) is also shown, allowing you at a glance to see if your journey time will be according to your usually expected travel time or not.
-
How does the auto start commute function work?
Without a route set or commute guidance active, the navigation system is not able to inform of potential delays on your route. However, with the auto start commute feature enabled through the navigation settings, the system will predict with high confidence a single potential destination (based on your regular learned journeys). Commute guidance will start automatically, assuming the route you take follows exactly the predicted route.
With commute guidance activated, should a traffic incident occur on your route, the system is still able to potentially alert you (depending on the location of the accident and available route alternatives), allowing you to take an alternative route if needed.
SETTINGS
-
What does the mirror info panel setting enable in the navigation settings for the Interactive Driver Display?
Within the Touchscreen’s main navigation display, by clicking on the expand arrow to the side of the next turn information, an info panel appears displaying different information to the side of the main navigation map view. By swiping left and right on the panel, alternative views can be shown. Options include, turn lists, compass, traffic lists, route remaining map view and a route overview display. With the ‘mirror info panel’ option enabled in navigation settings, the info panel visible in the Touchscreen will also be shown to the side of the map view when the Full screen map view is selected in the Interactive Driver Display. This allows all key navigation guidance information to be display directly ahead freeing up the Touchscreen to display other information according to your preference.
-
In ‘guidance’ mode, can I customise which notifications appear in navigation?
Yes, you can customise which notifications are shown by accessing navigation settings.
-
Can I enable audible traffic alerts broadcasts from local radio stations?
Yes, go to Settings > All > Apps > Media > AM FM Settings > Traffic Announcements > On
-
Can I adjust the volume of the Navigation guidance and Park Distance Control alerts?
Yes, all audible sources from Pivi Pro1 can be adjusted to your preferred volume. While the audible source is active, simply adjust the main volume control until you reach your desired level.

**Market dependant
OTHER
-
Are the maps updated over-the-air or via USB transfer?
Local maps based on your vehicle's location are updated over-the-air (OTA). However, for other regions, updates need to be done via USB download, which is recommended once per year. For Connected Navigation Pro with an active license, the updates will be OTA, while the entire map region will be updated based on the vehicle's build specification. Note that fair use policies apply, and availability may vary by market due to local legislation.
-
When parked by the side of a busy road, why do I sometimes receive vehicle in motion alerts and lose access to features?
This is due to a combination of vehicle safety and traffic regulations.
A vehicle with the engine running, irrespective of the gear selected, may not always be considered completely stationary – our movement detection systems will continue to monitor the vehicle which, in some cases, may detect vehicle movement from the wheel sensors.
Legally, certain features must stop functioning when the wheels start to turn. In some cases, the slightest movement can trigger this. In this situation, apply the parking brake or foot brake.
-
After reversing the vehicle, then driving forwards, the Park Distance Control screen pops up on the Touchscreen – how can I hide it?
To temporarily minimise the window but retain audible alerts – tap the cross in the corner of the Park Distance Control window.
Once your vehicle’s speed increases beyond 11mph/16km/h Park Distance Control will be disabled automatically.
-
Why does the rear camera always show when I select ‘Reverse’ – why not display 360 degree camera view if that was my last used option?
This is for safety reasons. The rear camera’s angle of view is far wider when in operation as a single camera view. Rear camera view is also more effective at alerting you to approaching traffic just out of view.
-
What is my driving score?
The driving score measures actual fuel/energy consumption and then compares it to the theoretical optimum for every section of the journey. Reducing braking, use of accelerator and reducing speed can all play a significant role in reducing fuel/energy consumption.
-
Why do I have a high percentage driving score, but poor fuel consumption?
In some cases, it’s possible to achieve a high driving score but have a higher level of fuel/energy consumption – for example when driving in heavy traffic. If your driving score was 100 percent, you have achieved the most efficient use of fuel for the journey. Whereas a driving score of 50 percent indicates that you could have achieved significantly better fuel economy by adopting a different driving style.
-
How is the safety camera database updated?
The camera database updates when the map database is updated.
We include safety camera locations to highlight known accident black spots. Our intention is to help maintain the safety of our customers, their passengers and other road users.
While every effort is taken to provide accurate information, the responsibility for obeying traffic regulations remains firmly with the driver.
-
How do I update the navigation system’s maps?
Maps are updated automatically in the background*. Maps can also be downloaded free of charge within the initial vehicle warranty period* through the following link: www.landrover.com/pivimap.

CONNECTIVITY
WI-FI ENABLED WITH DATA PLAN
-
What is Wi-Fi Enabled with Data Plan?
Wi-Fi Enabled with Data Plan delivers a 4G/LTE (depending on model) Wi-Fi hotspot in your car, enabling passengers to connect multiple devices to the Internet using an in-car 4G/LTE connection. It utilises the roof mounted antenna increasing the reliability of continuous connection whilst on the move. It delivers better data connection strength (compared to a smartphone in the vehicle) as the metal structure of the vehicle can restrict data reception. Note that fair use policies apply.
-
What is the difference between 'Online Pack with Data Plan' and 'Online Pack and Wi-Fi Enabled with Data Plan'?
The key difference lies in the Wi-Fi hotspot functionality:
Online Pack with Data Plan activates features such as:
- Integrated voice assistants
- Real-time weather updates
- Access to third-party audio apps designed for automotive use
Online Pack and Wi-Fi Enabled with Data Plan includes all the features of the Online Pack, plus:
- A built-in 4G/LTE Wi-Fi hotspot
- The ability for passengers to connect multiple devices to the internet using the vehicle’s data connection
- A more stable and reliable connection than tethering through a smartphone
Note: The Wi-Fi Hotspot feature is only available if it was selected during your vehicle’s original configuration.*
These services are independent of other subscriptions such as Connected Navigation Pro, Remote, or Secure Vehicle Tracker.
Fair use policies apply.
*Vehicle configuration refers to the selection of features at the time of purchase, either online or at a dealership. In some markets, vehicles may be pre-configured by the dealer, and the Wi-Fi option must have been included at that time.
-
Will Wi-Fi Enabled with data plan provide a continuous Wi-Fi connection whilst on the move?
Wi-Fi Hotspot7 operates through a mobile phone network. It will deliver a better data connection than a smartphone in the vehicle but will not operate in areas where no mobile phone network exists.
-
What type of networks does Wi-Fi Enabled operate on?
Wi-Fi Enabled operates on 4G/LTE networks.
-
What are the advantages of the vehicle’s data connection over my smartphone’s data connection?
The strength of your mobile phone signal and data connection can be significantly reduced by the structure of the vehicle – metal reduces the transmission of radio waves.
The embedded SIM card located in your vehicle connects to the mobile network via a significantly larger, dedicated aerial on the outside of the vehicle. This helps to maintain a much stronger data connection with the network.
-
Why can't I subscribe to Wi-Fi Enabled with Data Plan?
You can only subscribe to the Wi-Fi Enabled with Data Plan service if the Wi-Fi feature was selected during your vehicle’s original configuration. If this option wasn’t included at the time of purchase, the subscription service won’t be available. If you did opt in for Wi-Fi, you’ll be able to renew your subscription once you receive a notification via the InControl Remote app or by email.
*Note: Vehicle configuration refers to the process of selecting and customizing features and options at the time of purchase, either online or at the dealership. In some markets, vehicles may be bought pre-configured from the dealer, and in such cases, the Wi-Fi option must have been selected during this initial configuration.
-
How do I use Wi-Fi Enabled with data plan?
To activate and connect to your vehicle’s Wi-Fi using the data plan, follow these steps within the Pivi system:

5. Enter the Password: Use the 16-digit password shown on the screen. If needed, you can refresh the password to generate a new one (note that previously connected devices will need to re-enter the new password).
SIM AND DATA
-
The 4G icon under the clock is visible, so why are some connected features unavailable?
At times, networks can be overwhelmed with users or the signal strength might be too low to provide sufficiently high enough connection quality. This can result in a temporary loss of data.
-
Do I need a SIM card to connect my vehicle to the Internet?
No, your vehicle comes with an embedded SIM card which allows the use of:
1. Connected Navigation1 system’s connected features/services
2. Wi-Fi Enabled with data plan7
3. Online Pack6 features/services
These services require a valid subscription to be in place. Mobile data is included in the subscription, so no additional contracts or SIM cards are required as long as the subscription is running.

BLUETOOTH
-
Why doesn’t the vehicle remember my Bluetooth phone and pair with it automatically?
This is most likely due to the auto connect function for that device being disabled in your Bluetooth settings or other Bluetooth devices within range of the vehicle connecting to the vehicle first.
-
How many Bluetooth devices can be connected or paired?
A total of 10 Bluetooth devices can be paired, with two devices being paired at the same time, these can be phones or media devices. The first device paired to Pivi/Pivi Pro1 will be designated as your primary device. This can be changed in the settings by going to Settings > All > Connectivity > Bluetooth > and click on the device you wish to change.
-
I have two phones connected; how can I switch which is used for outgoing calls?
From the home screen phone tile, click on the phone icon in the lower part of the Touchscreen. From here you can switch which phone will be used to make calls. The other connected phone can then only be used for receiving calls. From within the phone screen you can also tap on the highlighted selector icon in the top of the Touchscreen. From here you can switch which phone is used for outgoing calls.
-
How can I reconnect previously paired Bluetooth devices?
The method for connecting a phone or a media device for music are very similar.
To reconnect a phone, use the phone selector via the home screen phone tile or the phone selector at the top of the Touchscreen within the phone feature.
For music playback, follow the same steps but through the home screen media tile or the source selector in the media player screen.
-
Listening to music from my phone/media player connected over Bluetooth, the volume seems very quiet compared to other audio sources?
The volume level set on the device itself can affect the volume over your vehicle’s speakers. Increase the volume on your connected device.
-
Every time I connect my phone to the infotainment system it connects via Apple CarPlay®/Android AutoTM – I’d rather not use my phone in this way, can I prevent this from occurring?
Within the connectivity settings are preferences for how the system responds a connected phone – change the setting according to the phone you are using to disable automatic launching of Apple CarPlay®2/Android AutoTM3.
PHONE
-

Depending on what feature I’m using, clicking on the settings button brings up different options – why is this?
We wanted to provide easier access to general settings as well as quicker access to some more commonly used settings, like display and audio.

In the footer, tabs are displayed based on the feature in use when the settings button was tapped, audio settings as well as a link to all other settings.
-
The ‘back’ key is only shown in some screens, why is this?
Pivi and Pivi Pro1 were designed around a ‘flat menu structure’. One of the primary objectives was to eliminate the need for back buttons so the flow from one feature to another is more direct and seamless, especially important in an automotive environment.
