Internet connection troubleshooting
The following are factors that may affect the
vehicle's Internet connection.
The amount of data being transmitted depends
on the services or apps that are currently in use.
For example, streaming audio requires a great
deal of data to be transmitted, which requires a
good connection and a strong signal.
Cell phone to the vehicle
Connection speed may vary depending on the
location of the cell phone in the vehicle. Move the
phone closer to the center display to increase
signal strength. Be sure that there are no
obstructing/screening objects between the
phone and the screen.
Cell phone to the network operator
The speed of the mobile network may vary
depending on coverage/reception in the vehicle's
location. Reception is generally poorer in tunnels,
in mountainous areas, in deep valleys or indoors.
Connection speed may also depend on the type
of subscription that you have with the service
provider.
Contact your service provider in the event of data
transmission problems.
