No or poor Internet connection Factors affecting the Internet connection.
The amount of data transmitted depends on the services or apps currently in use in the vehicle.Streaming music, for example, involves the trans-mission of a large amount of data, and thisrequires a good connection and a strong signal.
Phone to vehicleInternet connection speed may vary dependingon the location of the cellular phone in the vehi-cle. Move the phone closer to the center displayto increase signal strength. Make sure that noth-ing is between the phone and center display thatcould be blocking the signal.
Phone to network operatorThe speed of the mobile network varies depend-ing on the coverage in the vehicle's current loca-tion. Coverage may be poorer in e.g. tunnels,mountainous areas, deep valleys or indoors. Con-nection speed is also dependent on the subscrip-tion you have with your service provider.
NOTE
If you experience any problems with data traf- fic, contact your network service provider.
