7.2.1 HobbyConnect
*
HobbyConnect enables most CIBUS-enabled components in
the van to be operated via mobile devices (smartphone/tablet/
PC/notebook). At present, the
“MyHobby” app is required for
this.
Normally, the MyHobby app is free of charge and available as
a demo version even without the HobbyConnect system.
- The MyHobby app is only available for iOS or Android
operating systems.
- The MyHobby app is constantly being further developed
and updated. Therefore, new In-App functions are on offer
from time to time.
- An HTML version (access to the vehicle via Internet) is
currently being developed.
The components in your own van are not connected to the
app via the demo version.
There must be a HobbyConnect system (i.e. an installed
Connect Box with an integrated SIM card) in the van in order
to establish a connection between the CIBUS-enabled compo
-
nents in the van and the app.
The connection between the van and the app can only be es -
tablished if the Connect Box has been activated on the server
and assigned to the corresponding vehicle. In order to activate
the Connect Box, the access code (MyHobby Code) must be
entered in the
MyHobby app .
Upon request by the customer, the responsible dealer will
activate the Connect Box. The customer will then receive
the access code via e-mail or the appropriate key card
will be handed over by the dealer.
The Connect Box automatically connects itself to the server
via the SIM card as soon as the Box has been connected to
the electric system. Only connect the Box to the on-board
equipment just before using the HobbyConnect system.
The SIM card includes a 12-month Telnor telephone contract
(for data transmission via the Internet). The contractual period
begins as soon as the system has been connected to the server
via the SIM card. Ten (10) months after the initial connection
has been established, the
MyHobby app calls on the user to
purchase an extension for the telephone contract. After 12
months, the SIM card will be deactivated if no extension has
been purchased. It is then possible to extend the existing con
-
tract for a further 12 months. After this deadline has expired,
