Sadly it's a MY15  If it ain't broken, fix it till it is.

Try posting a question to LR Customer Services in their section ?

There must me some kind of SIM card in the car somewhere for it to be able to communicate with you when you're not in it.

It may come with something pre-paid & installed, or you may have to install your own - but there will be one and someone has to pay for the ongoing connectivity.

Or you could wait until you collect it & have a plan..... I just bought a SIM from 3 for my iPad - 12GB of data and valid for a year - cost me £30. I walked into a local 3 store & walked out with it, so worst case, you're up & running the same day and then figure out your longer term plan.

Unacceptable, but not entirely surprising that your supplying dealer can't give you the facts, hence I'd post to LR Customer Services.

As the previous poster said buy a 12GB SIM from Three. They are 3 in 1 and you need to snap off the outer piece of plastic to make a micro SIM to fit the car.

Traffic / Street View and other services will run through the SIM, Spotify will use your phones data plan (assuming you are using the InControl Spotify app as mentioned in your post).

With typical use you will use about 300MB per month - make sure you enable roaming as it's included with the Three SIM anyway.

Unfortunately the RR Vogue MY17 is only working on 3G on my SIM despite it being 4G enabled.

Enjoy the car - it is fantastic!

I forgot to mention that you can set a monthly data limit in the car - mine is set at 300MB

My 2016.5 has a sim card slot for internal WiFi but i don't need it for playing music. there are two usb ports in the centre console that you can plug the phone into and it also plays through blue tooth. i haven't played with the in control apps yet.

Your car will need Internet connectivity to take advantage of various features of the Incontrol Pro features that it comes with including advanced remote, Real Time traffic, door to door routing, cloud syncing of routes etc, online search, satellite view and street view as well as the cars own WiFi hotspot (I may have missed a few so there may be more).

Plugging your phone in via USB will provide none of these features. You could create a WiFi hotspot to connect the car which will enable all features bar the WiFi hotspot in the car but having dropped ~£100k on the purchase I would save yourself the hassle and get a vehicle SIM. If you are already on Three then I would suggest a SIM from another network this will give you a second bite of the cherry when traveling in marginal reception areas (I am Vodafone for my phone which is why I chose Three for the car).

Finally, yes, I can confirm that I have taken delivery of my MY17 RR Vogue AB.

Great suggestion, Adam, about the alternative network...smart thinking  If it ain't broken, fix it till it is.

£30 for 12Gb for 12 months here on 3

That is exactly the deal that I went for.

Excellent & i'll look into that further. Just realised i've said twice now my monthly combined iPhone/iPad/Son's iPhone contract is with 3 but it's not it's with EE so 3 looks to be a good alternative.

Will 12gb for 12mths cover requirements as that equates to 1gb per month which doesn't seem alot if so many features could be using this data?

If the car doesn't tell you, you should be able to access your account on 3 & track usage. I use an iPad which tells me how much I've downloaded.

As its Pay As You Go - when it's run out, either top it up or buy a new SIM from a different supplier or you could switch to a Pay Monthly contract if that works out better - but 12Gb should be plenty to figure out your average & peak usage patterns and could well last all year if you're not streaming music or have passengers hammering the hot spot
