Software update 4.1 won't install
l keep getting a message saying that "new software is downloaded and ready to install" but if l try to install, it says failed due to no internet connection.

The vehicle says it's connected to 4g and l've also tried to connect it to my phone. The screen says both are connected.

Has anyone else had a similar issue and did you manage to sort it?

I always schedule updates for when I'm at home so the Defender connects to my home WiFi.

Also, from my experience the updates do like the battery to be fully charged although you'll never see that given as a reason for failure to update. Current vehicle: 2020 Defender 110S
Gone: Defender 90 HT 200Tdi, Discovery Sport, Freelander 2

As above, needs home wifi and full battery, car needs to be parked, locked and alarmed.

Try logging the car out of the i connect account, lock and arm, wait minute or so, open and sign back in, then try the update as per normal.

If not try power cycling your router and check that the car registers on your network.

I had the update fail twice and then I realised that it had forgotten my wifi password for some reason, popped it in and pressed update again and it worked Thumbs Up Cheers Ian

I have a pair of these vents in the rear seat passengers windows .........

I have to remove them, in order to secure the software update, something to do with the volumetric sensors in the vehicle (Dealer tells me) ??? and yes it worked, otherwise I keep getting a 'FAIL'

It does say that when you agree to the update you must close all windows and lock the vehicle so it's not surprising that the windows being 'open' caused the update to fail. Confused Cheers Ian

it did take Dealer several weeks to come back with that answer. They would not remove the vents, as they did not install them.

Not sure if the car is clever enough to measure the air volume in the car and use that to determine if a window is open or not, however a position sensor on each of the electric windows or in the mechanism isn't that hard to imagine.....if one if these conditions isn't met before an update, the default would be to cancel.
