You need the additional sim to operate the WiFi hotspot in your car & the traffic updates etc on the nav system, at least that’s what now works on my AB now the wiring fault has been repaired. Mine is a my17 would think the my18 would be similar?

Just an aside from a confused old one, but does your profile need updating? Still showing a 2011 TDV6 which I guess you’ve changed. Robin

And a SIM card is needed for any "Incontrol" app use. It also reports vehicle status to Land Rover. 2016 RRS 4.4 TDV8 Autobiography Dynamic in Montalcino Red and Stealth Kit

Yes but I don’t think you can get data only, I’ve got 2gb a month data, free mins & texts that I can’t use, but it’s only £5 a month!

Just be aware that if you use an iPod/iPhone and this is connected to the car WiFi and set up automatically update when plugged in, it will!

Thanks Jim. The thing is i do not use anything in the car at all.

If i get that SIM that Jim posted does that have a monthly fee ? Really i need pay as you go as like i said it's only for the cars needs, also do these SIMs have a number, i.e can the car have its own phone number ?
Thanks for the replys. Thumbs Up SVR 2018 in Santorini Black.

There is no fee, just buy fit and forget. No need to register it, it will just work.

It has a phone number but is of no value in the car as you cannot call it.

Mine has been in my car for just over a year and is still working!!

My plan is to just buy a new one every 12 months.

Even works in Europe at no additional cost.

I believe the other providers also do similar sims. 2023 P440e SE Dynamic on order -cancelled
