Lets hope this all works!
Key Features of Software 6.1
Compared to the launch version (Software 6.0), version 6.1 introduces highly anticipated connectivity and ecosystem improvements: [1]
- Mobile Digital Key Activation: While version 6.0 restricted smartphone locking functions for some early builds, Software 6.1 fully enables the Mobile Digital Key via the MyCUPRA App. This allows drivers to approach and unlock the car, start the electric motor, and share secure digital keys directly from a phone wallet without needing a physical key fob. [1, 2]
- Enhanced Native App Store Integrations: Taking full advantage of the Raval's native Android operating system, this version offers smoother backend performance for over 130 in-car third-party applications (such as YouTube and streaming services) running directly on the central touchscreen. [1, 2]
- Optimized e-Route Planner: Refines the integrated navigation algorithm to more accurately project real-time traffic, target battery charge states at destinations, and adaptively map out DC fast-charging stops along the route. [1, 2]
- Stability Fixes: Includes bug resolutions for driver display rendering glitches and optimized thermal management protocols during rapid charging. [1, 2]
I saw a number of bugs including being unable to login to my profile for half an hour and the car effectively bricked. I think the digital key still only works on Android phones with IOS following soon. Certainly required optimisation and better range prediction which did suddenly improve after an update four days into my test.
