Hi!
Just wanted to remind you of the vehicle hotspot function in the Trophy Connect (called "Luxury" in Sweden).
If you forget your phone, it might be good to have an old one in the card without sim-card and just connect through the vehicle hotspot.

The other day, I forgot my phone at home, but had my Samsung Galaxy Watch 4 (version without eSIM). When the car was new, I connected to the vehicle hotspot without any real reason. All wifi-settings in my mobile are automatically syncronized with my watch. Therefore I just activated the vehicle hotspot and wifi on my watch and could send messages to my wife. Actually the communication from from the watch goes wifi-internet-wifi at home-mobile phone - and finally it is my phone that sends the message. Smartwatches communicate with Bluetooth OR wifi through a dedicated phone. They can't communicate on their own.

For "emergencies", the hotspot is really good.
