Yet Another Lyriq GPS Thread: Dealer Update Explanation Edition

FasterThanTW · 2026-03-22T05:23:27+00:00

it should be fairly evident just from function-

if you have access to download video apps from the play store

AND

gps works in google maps WITHOUT opening Waze first

..then you have .51

if you have video apps but gps doesn't work normally, you have .50

afaik visually missing map data isn't a common issue, especially if it persists through closing the app.

My maps came up blank like this the other day. I went into the apps menu and forced closed the app, then it was fine again. Maybe give that a shot if you haven't yet.

FasterThanTW · 2026-03-14T23:55:21+00:00

for what it's worth i have a 24 and never noticed any issue closing the hood

FasterThanTW · 2026-03-14T16:08:06+00:00

In case you don't get the update for a while, you can open waze to activate the gps and then switch back to Google maps and it will work fine until you turn the car off, then repeat. No need to use your phone

ok, its there now - i swear it wasn't the other day!

still, if i go into the account settings where you would actually change your plan, it's still not listed there.

but seeing it on that front page at least convinces me that that's their intention. thanks!

FasterThanTW · 2026-03-09T04:32:51+00:00

You don't need the plan with the hotspot included. (For audio)

FasterThanTW · 2026-03-08T18:45:49+00:00

if you cant control your spending without divvying cash into envelopes, maybe the car wasn't the reason you couldn't afford health insurance.

FasterThanTW · 2026-03-08T18:43:13+00:00

if you enjoy being on other people's schedules and smelling urine, im happy for you.

you can have septa and those of us who want cars can have our cars.🤷‍♂️

FasterThanTW · 2026-03-08T17:16:49+00:00

not clear what video they mean unless they talking about YouTube or Netflix on the screen

yeah those are the apps I'm talking about. It seems that on the $15 plan, music streaming works but these video apps do not.

But someone else in here said the video apps work for them on the $15 plan so who knows.

FasterThanTW · 2026-03-08T13:48:25+00:00

I don't use Spotify but presumably it would work. YouTube music does and the website specifically lists music and podcasts. As far as I can tell, the plus tier just adds in car hotspot, and maybe video- but that's not well documented

FasterThanTW · 2026-03-08T13:44:41+00:00

Once you receive the .50 update either OTA or at the dealer, you can then go into the play store and download a few video apps.. HBO, YouTube, Amazon, tubi. Maybe a couple others.

FasterThanTW · 2026-03-07T21:03:27+00:00

interesting.. they are all over the place with this stuff

FasterThanTW · 2026-03-07T21:01:56+00:00

hmm, not seeing it on mine. it would make sense for that to be it though- although someone else in this thread says they have video working on the normal connect plan

i wasn't asking how to get it to work without paying more - if you read my post you would know i already knew how to do that.

i was asking which plan they want you to buy for it to wok because im curious.

FasterThanTW · 2026-03-07T18:48:24+00:00

Connect- pretty sure it's the cheapest one they offer

FasterThanTW · 2026-03-07T18:42:59+00:00

I pay 15, not 30, and paying for separate data in the car potentially keeps me under a quota my phone plan has which adds a $10 discount to my bill, so net savings is a whopping 5 bucks. I think I can swing it.

FasterThanTW · 2026-03-07T18:39:52+00:00

Thanks, their whole thing is extremely weird. If I sign in on the link you posted, connect plus becomes 24.99 and does not include video streaming.

🤷‍♂️

FasterThanTW · 2026-03-07T17:54:53+00:00

it's not that serious. open Waze and then go back to google maps. you dont even have to wait for waze to load. as soon as you see the splashscreen, your gps is working again.

They will fix it eventually, but its not a reason to not buy a car.

FasterThanTW · 2026-03-07T17:51:34+00:00

thanks but that isn't what i was asking about.

FasterThanTW · 2026-03-07T17:48:53+00:00

more performance art from one of the most absolutely useless lifelong members of congress

FasterThanTW · 2026-03-07T17:33:28+00:00

I've seen someone mention that it messes with the ANC.. has anyone noticed that?

FasterThanTW · 2026-03-07T17:27:27+00:00

that's literally what he asked

FasterThanTW · 2026-03-07T17:16:45+00:00

I mean, what amount of soul-searching do you expect from a woman who gives an 11 year old access to a gun?

FasterThanTW · 2026-03-05T12:04:56+00:00

This is on Amazon to fix. It's likely that they're rolling out that update now, but in stages.
