Can’t help you with the Defender Tim as mine hasn’t arrived yet , but my Volvo does exactly the same. Goes to sleep after about 5 days to save the battery, even though it’s charged. The only way to reset it is to start it. 110 XS 250 MY 23 Gondwana Stone, Cold climate pack and towbar

Tim, I think whiterdesign might have let your tyres down!

I inadvertently left mine locked but with the sunroof open, and got a phone call from LR telling me that I had done so! Big brother or what!

It’s been like that since last September when I punctured the front offside tyre off-road - when I left home all were correct including the spare. I have no idea how to reset it, I’ve tried doing the TPMS system reset several times and no difference. There’s no low pressure showing in the dash only on the app. Stingray - if you go into the settings in the PiviPro screen you can set the global close/ open - then if you hold down the lock button on the fob everything will close and lock - holding down the open/unlock button it will globally open the roof and windows too. Pangea Green D250 90 HSE with Air Suspension, Off-road Pack, Towing Pack, Black Contrast roof , rear recovery eyes, Front bash plate, Classic flaps all round, extended wheel arch kit and a few bits from PowerfulUK Expel Clear Gloss PPF to come 2020 D240 1st Edition in Pangea Green with Acorn interior. Now gone - old faithful, no mechanical issues whatsoever ever but the leaks and rattles all over the place won’t be missed! |

You can tell it to not go to sleep or wake itself up, i cant recall. but its an app setting
They all go to sleep (have for years) to save the battery etc If you have things plugged in then it sleeps fater. Mike |

Tim, can I ask where you leave the solar panels? Outside or in the cabin? If the latter, how have you routed the charger cables? Thank you!

I've just had that "I'm having a nap" message, not seen it before so I'm guessing its an update on the remote App.

Do be careful taking the cable from the jump start posts and routing it under the plastic trim on the bottom of the A pillar - I now lead the cable clear of that after seeing how many people have lost that small piece of plastic when it’s simply popped off while driving. I leave the solar panel sat on top of the instrument cluster Pangea Green D250 90 HSE with Air Suspension, Off-road Pack, Towing Pack, Black Contrast roof , rear recovery eyes, Front bash plate, Classic flaps all round, extended wheel arch kit and a few bits from PowerfulUK Expel Clear Gloss PPF to come 2020 D240 1st Edition in Pangea Green with Acorn interior.

Why don’t you just connect the cables directly to the battery under the seat? LR assist told me to do this for long term trickle charge. They also jump started the vehicle from there when battery croaked last year.
