Re: Data Sim Card v Phone Tethering

It's worth noting that WiFi tethering is much faster than over Bluetooth, at least in my experience. Of course you need a strong reception on your phone to benefit from the faster speeds but it's worth noting nonetheless. I use an app called Tasker on my OnePlus 3T First: Can you tell me more why m...

Re: Data Sim Card v Phone Tethering

Hi All. Just hopping in to tell you how I use this I have a dedicated SIM in the trunk after reading several posts on this . I found out for myself that downloading data for maps and voice control is much faster over the car SIM than over bluetooth tethering my iPhone8. I got the cheapest data SIM-o...

Re: Thread for North West Europe Map data updates

I see no picture. Am I the only one ? Me too... I think it is an embedded amazon product link, which my ad blocker does not like. I run on PC with W10 and Ad Blocker Pro. After switching it off the picture was visible Have to keep sharp to myself to switch ABP off before I post this kind of messages

Re: Thread for North West Europe Map data updates

I’m using one of these: https://smile.amazon.co.uk/gp/product/B01EZ0X3L8/ref=oh_aui_search_detailpage?ie=UTF8&psc=1 It says it’s 150MB/s. Not quite convinced I’ve seen that speed, might be closer to 150Mb/s. unfortunately, marketing teams don’t seem to know the difference. I see no picture. Am ...

Re: Thread for North West Europe Map data updates

I have tried to upload with both 2.0 and 3.0 USB stick. In the XC40 I saw no significant difference in upload speed. I'm also curious to port speeds in the car. All 2.0 and 3.0 USB sticks exist with different read (and write) speeds. So even a slow 3.0 USB stick won't perform good in comparison to ...

Re: Thread for North West Europe Map data updates

I’m planning to buy a new usb stick for the map updates, thinking my old sticks may be too slow. I noticed that some of you mentioned shorter times to have the maps installed than others. I was thinking that maybe this could also have something to do with the usb stick used. Has anybody an idea of ...

Re: Thread for North West Europe Map data updates

Yes Spikebyt, i get the tiny rotating disc to show the map data is being uploaded to the car but nothing to indicate the percentage completion as described by hdasmith. Okay, same as here. I did a test to download another small file over Hotspot on my iPhone. During that test I saw a progress indic...

Re: Thread for North West Europe Map data updates

Can you tell me/us more specific. The term "blind" does not make sense to me Only spinning circle I see during update is a (very) small spinning circle in the upper rightmost corner of the central Sensus Display On the middle screen, you have four “blinds” when no specific app is open. Th...

Re: Thread for North West Europe Map data updates

I certainly have no indication of percentage upload completion on any of my screens. Can somebody please confirm if the additional USB port you get with the Apple Carplay option in the UK is a USB3 port - has a blue centre? If its not, i cant understand the differing upload times that people are ge...
