Do you have a cellular SIM card in your vehicle?

Can I just pop one out of my iPad and stick it in there?

Chicken should create a Tech Board.

I don't know if it will work but I'd still try it to satisfy my curiousity.

i have this little device from tmo in my car i pay $3/mo for that not only provides wifi to everyone in the car but also sends me all kinds of alerts (low fuel, oil life, if i exceed a certain speed..a retraceable path of where i've driven..vehicle tampering alerts)
its pretty cool. turned a semi-dumb f150 into a less dumb f150
eta no idea who your phone service is but this device from tmo will work with anything including your facny shmancy new volvo.

I had a sim card once, could've been me.

Depends on if the provider has a set list of IMSI's for connection.

Yes. As a matter of fact I have one in my brand new facny shmancy volvo
Dunno. Haven't been able to check it out yet.

Maybe I'm missing something but what purpose would this serve?

For me I don't have to turn hotspot on my phone to give the kids WiFi on road trips plus it's great for keeping tabs on your vehicle.
Newer cars probably do some of this stuff already but I dig it.

That makes sense
I don't know if I have a SIM card slot in my car or not. I know I can pay for an internet service but it is of no use to me

The tmo dongle plugs into the computer connection that you use to run diagnostic codes.
Pretty much every vehicle built in the last 20 years has one.

XC 90 Momentum

Nice, ours is an XC60 Inscription. What colors y'all get? Any cool add-ons? Pics?

Yeah I got the Pearl White, it's fully loaded with four surround cameras and heated steering wheel etc., 20 inch Tire with Sport Wheels. but it's 2wd with a T5.
Just put in WeatherTech Mats. They're great.
Looks a lot like this one. Not quite same wheels.

Posted on 5/24/18 at 7:03 am to TigerGman
Haven't thought about the weather techs, but keeping the black mats clean is a PITA. We got some roof bars (don't keep them on), a 2" tow hitch, and a double sided cargo mat.
Should have taken the cargo cover off to take that photo...
We didn't get many of the tech packages, and they only offer all wheel drive right now. Y'all do dark interior?
