P-sim

James77 · Feb 18th, 2019, 12:36

Hi,

Does anyone know whether the XC60 (also likely 90 etc.) has an in-built SIM, I presume it does for VOC services and is that SIM restricted to running VOC?

Also, by adding a P-SIM what additional experience am I going to have and is it going to change my life? In short wondering whether it's worth buying a separate SIM I understand the car can become a WIFI hotspot for tablets etc. to run off, anything else a few paltry downloads or occasional map update?

Thanks

P-Sim is if you dont have a modern smarphone to pair with your car.
If you pair your car with your smarphone via bluetooth, you allow the internet sharing though the bluetooth device and you will have internet in your car and a wifi hotspot available for all the passengers. And all of that just with your phone and no additional sim.

I find using tethering from phone is much faster than the sim in the car. My S90 I think is only running on 3G. So faced buffering issue even playing normal quality Spotify.

So I just stick with teetering via phone.
