Thoughts on subscription for data connection?
- mook 3y agoNot the same person, but: I'm already paying for a mobile phone; I'm happy to use CarPlay / Android Auto (where it projects a screen like VNC). I don't want a separate connection in the car that I'll need to pay for. I don't really need a data connection in the car directly while I drive. Anecdote: I have a newer ICE car (okay not so new anymore), and its entertainment system rebooted while I was driving at speed at one point. It was fine because that's unrelated to driving functions. I would not be happy if that included my speedometer (which was an old school dial in that vehicle).
- afgrant 3y agoMy phone is always with me when I drive and has a data connection that a car can tether to.
- bfdm 3y agoWhy would I want that? My phone can provide data via Bluetooth or a hotspot if needed. I don't need to pay for an extra mobile connection.
- chris_wot 3y agoI own and iPhone. It works great. I have my "subscription" via my phone plan already. It connects to CarPlay great.
