Hi Folks,

LR dealers are clueless so asking the folks on here.

I have an unlimited 4G data SIM I use for backup internet at home, I would like to use that in the MY21 Range Rover (once I have it) for long trips with the kids, does anyone know if that's possible? I understand the car may come with some sort of data package, but unclear if thats restricted just for nav updates and such and not general internet access.

Does anyone have a current model L405 that uses this feature?

Your new car will come with an Ubigi Data account which will be valid for 3 years. There is 500MB on it which is valid for I'm not sure how long, but can be topped up through the app which they send you a link to before you collect the car.

Not sure whether the sim you have will work, but I know the provider 3 "Internet with legs" definitely does. Why not ask the dealer you are buying the car from to test yours in one of their cars? All LR cars from 1984

Hi JD, I have just refreshed mine with 24gb 2 year 4G SIM from Three. It was about £45 from Amazon. You can set up a Wi-Fi hotspot and also use for general internet access. Seems to work fine.....kiss of death, it will fail now

I have a 24Gb SIM from Three working in my MY17 so I assume it will be the same for the MY21.

Unless it's recently been upgraded, bear in mind that the SIM connection is only 3G in the L405 - God knows why  2017 4.4 SDV8 Autobiography

You posh people with your wifi! In my MY13 I have a 3km spool of cat 5 in the boot that’s connected to my router at home……

I don't use the Wifi hotspot in the car, just the Data Sim for the navigation.

I have an unlimited data plan on my phone, so use that as a hotspot if necessary. MY23 Panamera E-Hybrid

On the LR website it says the hotspot is still only 3G. I may be better off just taking a dongle in the car with my unlimited data SIM from Vodafone. 2021 L405 Vogue D300

It's 4G for MY2019 onwards:
