Very good deal to use with a tracker

I did get a tracker the other day, but the app that came with it is a nightmare. So went for this. Their built in SIM is £5 per month though. Handy as it had more flexibility and can hide it easier in the motor.

Morning all, am kind of new to this tech and have a couple of quick questions.

Can I take that I just purchase the sim and the insert into the slot in the central cubby-hole. What happens then ? Does the car immediately recognise it and how does it re-act, eg does it automatically hook up and automatically provide "over-the-air services" ?

Thanks in anticipation

Yep, just install the SIM into the slot and the car automatically recognises the SIM and provides connectivity for apps, streaming, sat nav map updates and sat nav Real Time Traffic Information.

'interesting' update. Sim due today so went to check-out sim holder situation.
Had previously assumed it was in the cubbyhole between the front seats. Turns out these a are 2x usb connections.

On looking at the manual the holder is behind a small flap on side passenger footwell and you take out holder from a slot, insert sim and replace. Except I can't; when I opened the flap the inside was empty !

looks like a trip to dealer to suss out a retro-fit.

Hope that's no too costly !

Ah, the additional slot for data SIM wasn't standard across the range for MY18.

It was standard on the 'Pro' trim models but otherwise it was part of the 'Volvo On Call with App' option which cost £550 at the time.

If your car doesn't have the option then sadly you may be out of luck as retro-fitting this option isn't included in the Volvo Accessories catalogue where upgrades are featured.

You are better off buying one of these. Put the data sim in and you can use it in the car or anywhere else.
