Only when the radio is on. (ACC / RUN)Does the hot spot only work while the vehicle is running?
Can the Uconnect system use the hotspot for streaming radio or any other purpose, or is it just for other devices?
Also, I bought my truck used and still figuring things out. My SiriusXM trial is active, but the other day the antenna was blocked for a few minutes so the unit offered me to stream over the Internet. I tried it and it worked, but I haven't activated the hotspot. Was Sirius using it anyway somehow?
Thanks for clarifying.Yes, SiriusXM can use the internet connection in your truck, you only pay if you want Hotspot for your phone or laptop.
Your Truck also uses the internet connection for updates OTA and Uconnect phone app communications.
its a good dealThey just called me and offered unlimited data for 15 a month. I don't think its worth it but just letting everyone know.
