Same year and model as myself
I will give it a go the next time I go out in the car and report back. Do you find Spotify slow to load? Even with good connection sometimes it takes about 2 minutes before music plays. I was in a MY19 courtesy car and found Spotify loaded quicker.

The sensus only supports up to Bluetooth 2.1 EDR (extended data rate) the maximum bandwidth this supports is up to 3mb, which you can get away with streaming for, just takes longer to buffer the tracks that are playing. The Three network runs about maximum of 20mb as they just run standard 4g. Unlike somebody like EE who run double speed 4G and 4G+ we’re you can get up to 60mb ish depended on area. Although it works over Bluetooth your not maximising what the cellar networks are cable off. Although convenient over turning you WiFi hotspot on and off your phone. Which also uses more battery. For people who are on three I would look at smarty. The company is owned by three but for a car sim seems good value as you don’t need fancy features, I have 30gb for £10 month not tied in to a contract. There are others plans if you are really heavy user. But again all depends on area coverage and what you do with the car.

Thanks again everyone for the very helpful feedback!
I was on iPhone X when I last tested BT tethering. I have iPhone 11 Pro now. For some strange reason though the car now can’t find any WiFi network and can activate the Bluetooth internet connection to my phone. Regarding WiFi I’m 100% sure there are available networks (home and phone). Very strange indeed ...

I have found that to get the car to establish a WiFI internet connection via my iPhone the Personal Hotspot screen must be open until there is a connection.
