Wireless carplay seems less buggy. Used to brick regularly but so far so good, so all the updates seemed to have helped in a few areas
@robrmon @bshads was this done on the same day you dropped off or did they have to keep the car for the telematics error fix? I ask, because @brainf18 dealer, it apparently took several hours which I assume means they kept the car for at least a couple of days. If you can all chime in, that would be great.

my dealer kept the car for several days to ensure the reprogramming fixed the issue

Same, they have to let it sit over night or two to make sure the error doesn’t come back
Appreciate it guys. Sounds like it can be done in 1 day, but they keep it overnight to fire up and ensure it's gone? If so, I may just ask to take it same day. Normally, I wouldn't care, but unfortunately there's only 1 dealer in the greater LA area and it's a hike for me.
I too had the TEM update in May (they also replaced the car battery saying it's part of the issue), but the error still shows up the morning after. It will go away after a few cycles during the day when driving. Back to the dealer again.. eventually
For those asking the question, there are two telemetric ariels in the car, one on the rear-left "C" pillar and one on the rear-right "C" pillar. Please excuse the photos, I went digging through my old pictures and below is the best I have:
I disconnected mine during an Audio install and it brought the Telemetrics fault up on the dash, but after plugging them back in the fault disappeared.
I'm going to suggest the faults some are experiencing is software related. There are so many updates for these cars, please revisit your dealer and request the updates.
Keeping the car on a trickle charger (if not in use for weeks) will help keep away some pesky faults brought on by low voltage, but if you're using the car daily this is not required. I found many of the cars electrical systems remain "Live" even once the ignition is switched off, most modern cars "go to sleep" after 15 mins or so, but not the Emira, ok, the main screen and dash sleeps + the cigarette lighter socket after 10mins. Also, it does not matter if you lock the car or leave it unlocked, the power drain is the same.

A few questions on this telematics error. Looking at the posts, there seems to be two possible solutions. 1) charging the battery with the ignition in accessory mode and 2) A software update. Do both work? My software was updated in March (allegedly) but I’m getting the error. Was the update after March? I’ve only just got the error coming up a week ago. It was 2 days after changing my battery to a Li-ion. Is this coincidence or could that be the cause? Does the ignition on charging fix the issue in all cases? I’m a good hour and a half away from the dealer, so I’d prefer to not have to take the car back in.
I "think" the s/w fix came out after March, so if you really have not had one done since then, get the s/w up to date and it should resolve the issue
If you really have not had any updates since March, why did the dealer not do them whilst they were fixing all the other issues. I mean, they only had the car for 3 months.

I had updates done in June at first service.
My telematics issue didn't start until about 9000kms in.
I now get the warning every morning.
The car is daily driven and plugged in each day.
I also have gremlins with the windows and rear turn signals.
Dealer said all should be fixed with next update.

I got the error on Monday ironically starting it up to go to the dealer for a different service. They have me scheduled for the latest update as well. Ill report back when I get the car back hopefully next week.
