Slightly pathetic data limitation - 1GB, MG4 Trophy

[NikLiverpool]

It would be nice if the option was given to purchase more data on a monthly basis.
BYD is the same with 1GB free. Wife run out once. There is the option to see what apps consume what.
99% was Spotify. Maps and navigation use peanuts.

You can enter android settings on the infotainment, if you follow tricks on how to do it. From there, you can connect your phone's hotspot to the infotainment. Bam, you're not using any built in data (other than what tbox uses).

Been doing this on mine since day one.

You can use Wi-fi directly from settings, what's the point of doing that ?

Must be a luxury spec thing then, because standard doesnt have that.

I think @hojnikb means that the car can connect to a hotspot created by your phone (hence using the phone data not the built in data), and I think @Mouss is talking about the hotspot the car offers, in case you want your phone to use the built in data from the car.

Yep, I got a Lux and I don't need to go in Android settings to connect to Wi-Fi.
But just tell me why you need Wi-Fi with Standard/SE version: there isn't Amazon Music, GPS or weather.
Maybe you got a MY2024 ?

I wasn't talking about car embed hotspot, but Wi-Fi.
WIth Luxury (Trophy) models, you can connect the infotainment to Wi-Fi (mobile hotspot, home Broadband) once the car is started.

Well, sideloaded apps can take quite a bit of data, also updating them as well.
