Slightly pathetic data limitation - 1GB, MG4 Trophy

The car hasn't got google maps, it's a system with the map data stored in the car, so no data would be used. Weather would use a tiny amount of data as would traffic data. So I can't see where 1GB would go.

I included my phone just as a comparison of data use.
So how does it know about the traffic conditions ahead then ?
 
Not a bonus. I paid more money for the Trophy car to have data and live services.

Per advertised and brochure.
I have never seen it mentioned on a brochure the limit you were allowed, do you have a copy?

I read recently that they were only free for 3 years and the next subscription is built into the servicing cost, not sure how true that is
 
According to MG's EU data declaration the cars basic systems use 1mb of data per operating hour

And did you find out the data limit before your purchased? Because if it was key to my purchase, I would have asked a lot of questions before buying. Or did you assume it was limit-free?
 
In Maltese, "gemgem" isn't a standard word but a term used for people who grumble or complain, especially workers who were paid by the British but disliked their tasks, meaning someone who is always whining or reluctant, like "jagħli għax jisbaħ" (boiling because it's dawn). The word for a literal precious stone or jewel is different, but "gemgem" carries a specific negative connotation of continuous grumbling or complaining in older Maltese slang.
 
1MB (not mb) per hour is 744MB per month, if used 24 hours a day 7 days a week, in a 31 day month. (Which is very highly unlikely). So in theory nobody should run out of a 1GB data allowance with normal usage. If people are running out then either they're using the connection for things other than normal car usage, or the reported hourly data usage is wrong.

**** me you have taken being a fan boy to another level today, to actually post what a member from Glasgow's forum name means in Maltese , because it suits your default narrative is another level of whataboutery!!

Id be interested to know if there is any connection to Malta at all🤣

A more relevant term to Glasgow for you to ponder is a Glasgow kiss, all kinds of seasons greetings with that one 😁
 
Personal log into the car uses data. I have my image and name appear.

When the 1GB of data runs out the car won’t log me in. Null void error messages appear.
Can you develop please?
I'm not sure to follow what you mean here but I'm curious
