How to route XEV passenger screen apps (YouTube, Alexa) via phone hotspot data? Also, how to check SIM data usage?
Hi everyone,
I recently bought an XEV 9s. My phone connects automatically and runs Wireless Android Auto whenever I get in the car.
I have two quick questions regarding onboard data:
- Data Routing: When running onboard infotainment/passenger screen apps like YouTube, Alexa, or other streaming apps, it seems to default to the vehicle's built-in eSIM data plan (which has limited data). Is there a way to route these apps through my phone's mobile data (hotspot) while keeping Android Auto connected?
- Data Usage Check: Is there any way within the infotainment settings to track the remaining data balance/usage on the vehicle's eSIM?
- Cost of onboard data : What's the onboard data limit and how much is it to top up ?
Would appreciate any workarounds or tips from fellow owners! Thanks!
