Is that called the Online Pack & comes with a separate antenna?
Scratch that ~ I was reading this which confused me: Customers will be able to stay truly connected with the Online Pack* which will provide unlimited data for music streaming, weather updates and calendar information on the move. By purchasing the onboard Wi-Fi package, all passengers will be able to stay connected with a separate external antenna providing the best possible service. The April 2020 prices have the WiFi enabled option at £460. |

Here is a link to what is on the configurator

Do you have a 2nd SIM slot for the WiFi enabled optional SIM? I assume you could put your own data SIM in if so, but the question would be whether the vehicle would need a dealer to do any configuration or whether additional options on the Connectivity sub menu would be available. There's also the question of whether the additional antenna is a nice to have or a firm requirement to allow it to work. Is £460 then an annual recurrent charge? I get a 100Gb per month SIM for £240 at the moment. |

Pass, no idea - I wouldn’t even know what to look for or where to look for the SIM card in my 110. I know where to look for it in my 90 though, it’s in the head unit for my Parrott system but it’s empty because i don’t need internet connectivity from the car radio, I use my phone.

IGuide informs me that the Nano SIM is in the centre cubby box in a slot between the USBA and USBC sockets. Not sure if I should tempt fate and remove it to see which network it’s on as it might not work again after fiddling with it. The centre fridge certainly works well so the SIM will keep nice and cold when the fridge is switched on.

First off do you actually have a SIM card in the nano slot?
I thought there was a second embedded SIM location that deals with SOTA etc and that is fitted to all specs as standard. The nano slot is for the optional hotspot functionality? Network name should be available through the menu screens without having to remove the SIM. |

I don’t even have the slot in mine - MrEleven might though. The iGuide says it in the centre cubby box but my centre cubby box is a fridge - the alternative location is below the dash at the front of the centre console where the two USB sockets are and I don’t even have a blanking piece there.

So that's a dead end then.
Where is the location of your SOTA embedded SIM? |

Usually they are hidden away somewhere, with only the data sim with in reach of the owner.

There’s no mention where it is in the iGuide, here’s all it says and the other links don’t say either

Came across this in the mobile connectivity section
“Connected vehicles with no SIM card slot in the media hub have an embedded SIM card” So I assume you only get the SIM card slot if the WiFi pack is selected? One thing I saw in the small print is LR only give you this free for the first year of ownership. |

Someone needs to email this engineer, I'm sure they will know:

The embedded one I’m sure I read in the sales documents I received is to the end of the warranty period and I know from the RRSport guys that that is also when the InControl Tracker subscription also needs to be renewed, both can be done together and either annually or a lifetime once off payment that from their postings doesn’t seem to be too expensive.
When the InControl Secure subscription on my RRS expired I didn’t renew it because my insurer didn’t require the car to have a tracker and also I knew I was probably going to be changing cars within the year anyway. It was the same with my Counttyman’s SIM, lasted for the warranty period then you pay to extend.

My Velars connected stuff lasts for the warranty period but I’m sure newer models it’s changed to just a year. I’ll double check though.
