InControl Update: S21A_21.10.6-676616 available

[ChrisC]

Updated my XE InControl software today to version S21A_21.10.6-676616

I understand that this fixes the repeated need to log in to the navigation but can't confirm this yet as it will take a few drives.

For info I found this on the web...

There is a known bug in this release...  No turn by turn sound when using Apple CarPlay navigation.  From another site:

After installing this update I have lost all sound to my CarPlay navigation turn by turn instructions (it's not the volume). All music apps work with sound, Waze, TomTom, Apple Maps, Google maps have all lost sound. 

This is a known problem and JLR have issued a bulletin about it on TOPIx. It's SSM75415 - InControl Touch Pro - Post 21A Update Apple Carplay Navigation Voice Guidance Not Heard
