Didn't have a very satisfactory hand-over at the dealer with the result that, trying to do it myself, I eventually 'locked-out' the p-sim card
Dealer fitted a new one last week and, lo and behold , I now have the Globe Icon showing on-screen. I can even choose the Weather app and it displays on the bottom of the main screen ..... but that's just about all I'm managing to do!!
I've also seen a list of 'available apps' including Spotify but the only option is to uninstall them, none of them appear on the 'Right-swipe' screen (where the Weather icon is)
In 'Settings','Communications' do I choose'Car Modem Internet' or something else?? I find the Owner Guide very vague.
Has anybody discovered a Definative user guide (Idiot's guide to ...) or a Youtube clip ..
I always thought I was fairly computer savvy but this has got me pulling my hair out, it's slowly driving me mad

Dealer is talking utter rubbish. Go back and ask to speak to someone who knows what they are talking about!

Sorry Eugene, not very constructive .. I've tried various searches under differing criteria and not found the information I was hoping for .. it looks like there are a couple of others in the same boat too.

Apologies Steve. I suggested a search on the forum because your problem can be caused by various reasons and those have already been discussed.
From your description it seams you managed to establish a connection (globe icon on screen) but there’s no data through other apps. If the only app option you see is uninstall, then I would suggest uninstalling the apps and reinstalling them again. Hopefully this will solve the problem.
Thanks Eugene ... unfortunately it would appear that I could uninstall ok as the option is on screen (afraid to hit the button in case they're gone for ever) but have no idea how to (re)install ..

Should I be able to do this through some sort of menu purely via the car internet or are these apps only available via a cable connected phone or are they altenative routes ?
