That is correct in the USA I understand, in the UK it works fine for me using RSAP connection to access the SIM in my mobile

I have a Vodafone Data only Sim in the dash as my mobile is an iPhone which doesnt support RSAP. The amount of Data used for Google Maps, Wi-Fi Hotspot etc. averages about 5GB per year for me.
Its an option worth having just for the Google Earth mapping.

My A7 doesn't use much, and thinking about popping in a data SIM, as if I use rSAP mode on the work phone, it doesn't let me dial from the handset, which is a bugger when trying to join conference calls

Odd - RSAP is flawless for me, are you on the latest firmware (900)? Perhaps a handset issue?

Looks like a very high spec - if you can live with the brown!? Suspect that would be a marmite option, but was expensive when new.

Non on the pictures give away if it has the hardware needed for Online Services, I think the key "order code" would be 9ZW - easy checks would be a SIM card slot in the dash, a "privacy handset" under the armrest or if it has a late enough software version a "Google" or "Online" logo on the NAV screen

i could live with the brown for this spec, but can you live with the mileage, i guess in the grand scheme 117K isnt high, specially if you would do low miles from now on.

having looked around the on line services are a nice feature, but the mainly i would be happy just being able to change the light beams for europe driving, which it seems is an option in the mmi of several cars ive checked out today, even though they dont have the online bit
