In Dubai and across the UAE, your Range Rover’s Pivi Pro and InControl systems can store contacts, locations and app logins. Between cloud-connected apps, saved phone pairings, navigation favourites and personalised driver profiles, your vehicle holds far more personal information than most owners realise. In a city where valets, service visits and pre-owned sales are part of everyday car ownership, knowing how to protect that data is essential.
This guide shows you exactly how to clear personal data—before a valet, a service visit or a sale—so your information stays private.
Why Range Rover Data Privacy Matters in the UAE
Dubai’s connected lifestyle means your Range Rover likely stores:
- Paired phone contacts and call logs synced via Bluetooth
- Navigation history including home address, workplace and frequently visited locations
- Saved Wi-Fi credentials from home and office networks
- App logins for Spotify, online radio and other streaming accounts
- InControl Remote account access linked to your email and Land Rover ID
- Driver profile settings that may include personalised greetings and stored preferences
Any of this information, in the wrong hands, creates a privacy risk. A quick data wipe before handing over your keys is a simple habit that eliminates that risk entirely.
7 Steps to Clear Personal Data From Pivi Pro
1. Remove a Paired Phone From a Range Rover (Pivi Pro)
Go to Settings > Connectivity > Bluetooth > Paired Devices. Select each device individually and choose Delete or Forget Device. This removes synced contacts, call history and message notifications associated with each phone.
2. Clear Pivi Pro Navigation History and Favourites
Open Navigation > My Destinations and delete saved favourites, recent destinations and any stored home or work addresses. Also clear the Previous Destinations list from the navigation menu to erase trip history completely.
3. Sign Out of Apps (Spotify, Online Radio) on Pivi Pro
If you’ve logged into Spotify, Deezer or any other connected app through the touchscreen, open each app individually and sign out. This prevents the next user from accessing your playlists, listening history or premium account.
4. Delete a Range Rover Driver Profile
Navigate to Settings > Driver Profile. If you’ve created a personalised profile with seat positions, mirror settings and display preferences tied to your name, select your profile and choose Delete. This also removes any personalised greetings the system displays on startup.
5. Erase Saved Wi-Fi Networks in Pivi Pro
Under Settings > Connectivity > Wi-Fi, remove all saved networks. This prevents automatic reconnection and protects your network credentials from being visible to others.
6. Factory Reset a Range Rover (Pivi Pro)
If you’re selling or permanently transferring the vehicle, a factory reset is the most thorough option. Go to Settings > System > Reset and select Reset All Settings or Clear Personal Data (wording varies by model year). This returns the infotainment system to its default state and wipes all user-created data simultaneously.
7. Deregister InControl Remote in the UAE
This step happens outside the vehicle. Log into your Land Rover account via the smartphone app or the Land Rover website, navigate to your connected vehicles and remove the Range Rover from your account. This revokes remote lock/unlock access, location tracking and journey logging tied to your profile.
Use Valet Mode (If Equipped)
Before handing over the keys, enable Valet Mode to limit access to personal data. Go to Settings > Security (or General) > Valet Mode, set a temporary 4-digit PIN, and confirm. This restricts certain features and hides personal info until you enter the PIN again. It is particularly useful for hotel valets, restaurant parking and short-term handovers where a full data wipe is unnecessary.
Before a Service Visit
You don’t necessarily need a full factory reset before a routine service appointment. At minimum, remove your Bluetooth pairing and sign out of streaming apps. This takes under two minutes and ensures technicians cannot accidentally or intentionally access your contacts or accounts.

Build the Habit
Think of clearing your Range Rover’s data the same way you’d log out of a shared computer. It takes moments, costs nothing and completely eliminates unnecessary exposure. Whether it’s a two-hour valet park at a Dubai Marina restaurant or a permanent sale through a dealership, a quick data wipe ensures your personal information leaves with you, not with the vehicle.
Make it part of your routine, and your connected Range Rover remains what it should be: a convenience for you, not a liability.
