CONNECT FAQS

Wi-Fi Hotspot delivers a 3G/LTE (depending on model) Wi-Fi hotspot in your car. Wi-Fi Hotspot enables passengers to connect up to 8 devices to the Internet using an in-car 3G/LTE connection. It utilises the roof mounted antenna increasing the reliability of continuous connection whilst on the move. It delivers better data connection strength (compared to a smartphone in the vehicle) as the metal structure of the vehicle can restrict data reception. In addition to the hardware fitted to the vehicle, you will have to purchase a mobile SIM card and insert it in the SIM card reader located in your vehicle.

Yes. The system requires a separate 3G SIM card with a data plan/allowance to work. The system provides mobile internet in the car for Wi-Fi capable devices such as mobile phones, tablets etc. In many ways it operates in a similar way to a "3G dongle".

Yes, your SIM should have a data allowance for your Wi-Fi Hotspot to work. Voice only SIMs (as used on some mobile phones) cannot deliver data.

This depends on the mobile service provider and type of the plan you have. Some providers offer "shared plans" where you can get an additional SIM for your Wi-Fi Hotspot and attach it to your shared plan. This means that your Wi-Fi Hotspot and your mobile phone consume the data from the shared allowance and you will get 1 bill.
EE for example offers a shared data plan http://shop.ee.co.uk/sharer-details/samsung_galaxy_ace_3_black_and_sim

Wi-Fi Hotspot operates on 3G/LTE networks.

Wi-Fi Hotspot operates through a mobile phone network. It will deliver a better data connection than a smartphone in the vehicle, but will not operate in areas where no mobile phone network exists.

You need a "Data only SIM card". Sometimes these are called "Internet only SIM" or "Mobile broadband SIM". This will be a different SIM card to that fitted in your mobile phone. For Touch 17MY, the required SIM card is a 2FF standard SIM card, while for Touch Pro and Touch 18MY a 3FF micro SIM card is needed.

At present Jaguar Land Rover does not have a preferred data plan provider. You can obtain a “Data only SIM card” from a variety of sources. Data SIMs and plans are available from all major mobile service providers.

At present Wi-Fi Hotspot is a linked feature with Connect/Connect Pro. Wi-Fi Hotspot can only be specified on vehicles fitted with Connect/Connect Pro.

A Connect subscription is needed in order to access the Remote Premium features. Currently it is only possible to have Connect on your vehicle if it is selected when the vehicle is ordered.

Depending on your vehicle specifications and markets, the Remote Premium smartphone app will provide you with the ability to pre-condition your vehicle either via the Engine Start function or via the Fuel Fired Heater function.

Remote Premium can be programmed to power up on a date set by you through the Vehicle Wake Up screen of the Remote Premium smartphone app. All the Remote Premium features will be operational from this specific date.

The vehicle is unlocked. A window, door, boot, or bonnet is open. The hazard warning lights are turned on. The vehicle is being used by someone. For example, a person inside the vehicle is interacting with essential systems such as the break pedal, accelerator or start-stop button.

Once you start the car after using the Remote Climate function from the Remote smartphone app, the climate settings will default back to the temperature set up during the last car cycle, so the temperature on the car display will not sync with the app value.
