Favourites screen

ls it possible to get an app, such as Spotify, on the favourite screen. Currently this screen is empty.

To get to Spotify from the radio l currently have to hit two buttons on the screen then swipe to the second app screen.

l would like to be able to switch more readily from radio to Spotify, so what l need is some sort of short cut if possible that avoids navigating through screens.

I just use Apple Play and ask Siri. Works a treat.

Can you not use the shortcut drop down menu on the media tile to select Spotify from there? The one that lets you choose the media source?

lt doesn't come up.

The app is in my phone, not in the vehicle media. l don't know if that makes a difference.

Ah I see. In that case you’ll need to go into the CarPlay screen and choose it from there, there’s no shortcut in the LR Pivi system as it’s just using ‘your phone’ as the media source.

A voice command via siri would be the quickest one, if it can understand you 👍🏻

You can link your Spotify to pivi and it appears in the media menu. 110 D300 XD HSE, Carpathian, Tow pack. Air Susp pack, cold pack, hud,

Did it last week but can’t remember which menu I found Spotify on. Out of the country at the moment and not near my car so can’t refresh my brain cells either at the moment. I only have the “free’ Spotify subscription but that worked fine. I got the option on the Pivi screen in the car and I could choose to either have a link emailed to me or to scan the qr code that came up on the pivi screen. Spotify is now on the options in the media list and all works fine. I might have been logged into my pivi/inConrol profile in the car at the time. Got an email to say my Spotify account was now linked to Landrover

When I remember how I did it I will report back but good luck in the meantime 110 D300 XD HSE, Carpathian, Tow pack. Air Susp pack, cold pack, hud,

Gotta say it all sounds too complicated. Apple Carplay and Siri just works. Eiger Grey MY23 D250 SE with bits. Known as Noddy.

You have to link your Spotify account to your incontrol one. I did it but went back to using CarPlay as the app built into the car is nowhere near as good, and the car struggles to get signal in a lot of places where my phone doesn’t.
