Re: A few annoyances

I haven’t got mine yet, but thought I’d red you could change the default mode for a driver in the driver profiles, and then set the driver profile to a key which it remembers when using that key to unlock?

Re: Sensus to mobile data connection

Re: Sensus to mobile data connection

Well on an iPhone, unless corrected by other board members, I don’t believe the Hotspot feature is how the car connects through the phone to the internet. It merely enables other phone/tablet etc. devices (but not the XC40) to connect through the phone to use its internet connection. An iPhone inte...

Re: Sensus to mobile data connection

Don’t believe so. Hotspot is only so eg a passenger in the back can use Wifi. But I have an onboard Sim installed so that is my permanent link with the internet.

Re: Sensus to mobile data connection

Trying to connect using Bluetooth to share he phones internet. It worked initially however now it's stopped. I'm using a oneplus5t. No car play. Can’t help with that one I’m afraid, but I guess it’s the same as an iPhone, switches off to save battery life. Try switching it back on the phone again, ...
