Wow, seems like they are not sure themselves what they are providing to their customers. A Jag Expert told me at an event, that the main purpose of the WiFi Home connection is to download large OTA updates. According to him it is not possible to access the car via InControl if the car has no cellular connection even if it is connected to the home WiFi. This is poor technics, too, but it sounded plausible to me because what usecase should a WiFi home connection then have when the car I sitting at the parking lot. It is really confusing :roll:
Agree. I had difficulties with installing my 4G-sim. Normal sim (speech + data, youfone, NL) did not work, so cancelled the subscription and installed a data-only sim from KPN (NL). Unfortunately no difference: was not able to get 4G, and could only see the charging state in the InControl-app. Location of the vehicle stayed at the dealer, although it was on my driveway. Unable to check the status of doors, alarm etc.
Reinstalling the sim only asked for permission to share data, but no request for the SIM-code. And no 4G..
Today, out of the blue while driving, my car asked for the sim-code. After entering the code 4G works like a charm now and I am able to fully use the InControl app.
I am very happy 4G finally works, but it puzzles me why. I did the first full-charge last night. Shoud / could that matter? I don't think so..
