Does the car need to SIM card or can you use your phone as a hotspot?
You can use your phone, but i haven’t discovered the secret to have the car automatically connect to a WiFi network and when I manually connect, it doesn’t save the password, so I have to enter the password every time, which is a PIA.Does the car need to SIM card or can you use your phone as a hotspot?
I'm considering getting an iPad mini cellular to leave in the car as Hotspot and media device in stead of paying for the att data plan, that way I can use Verizon (better network) but if the car can't remember a wifi password.....You can use your phone, but i haven’t discovered the secret to have the car automatically connect to a WiFi network and when I manually connect, it doesn’t save the password, so I have to enter the password every time, which is a PIA.
What are the steps to get it to remember the WiFi password? I do not see that option and it would be awesome if I could do that.I have my home Wifi password saved and it reconnects when it is at home.
Me, too. (#Dantrium, I've never had a problem with it reconnecting, either. Didn't do anything special other than enter wifi password the first time..)I have my home Wifi password saved and it reconnects when it is at home.
Are you version 18D? I’m on 18C, maybe it was a software update which allows it to save passwords?Me, too. (#Dantrium, I've never had a problem with it reconnecting, either.

Problem here might be the phone, some phones don't run the Hotspot unless you specifically activate it (you have to be in the hotspot menu section), or the phone might still be on your home WiFi in which case it won't broadcast the hotspot...You can use your phone, but i haven’t discovered the secret to have the car automatically connect to a WiFi network and when I manually connect, it doesn’t save the password, so I have to enter the password every time, which is a PIA.
No that isn’t it as the car doesn’t connect to my home WiFi automatically either.Problem here might be the phone, some phones don't run the Hotspot unless you specifically activate it (you have to be in the hotspot menu section), or the phone might still be on your home WiFi in which case it won't broadcast the hotspot...You can use your phone, but i haven’t discovered the secret to have the car automatically connect to a WiFi network and when I manually connect, it doesn’t save the password, so I have to enter the password every time, which is a PIA.
I think Jag only allows At&t. I have been using my Phone to Hotspot and it works great. Does all the updates, GPS and everything. And it doesn't cost me anything extra!!I'm getting a data sim from T-mobile for 5.00 a month. Does anyone know if the car will support 5G?
Looking forward to the update as I would love to be able to put a t mobile card in my I Pace.I was told that any carrier will work. Also, T-Mobile took the car's IMEI number and said my car was compatible with their service. I'll have it soon and will let you know for sure.
