You do not need a contract, I use a 12GB data SIM from Three. It lasts a year and is more than enough for the Real Time Traffic.

Ok, thank you.
Shame it can't use a connected mobile phone as an alternative if one is connected..
Will give that a go.
Is it in the manual where it goes?
Thanks

It has a slot under the central armrest, you can use a mobile phone but obviously is a bit more hassle.
For the cost I would just stick a sim in.

Best place to go is mymemory.co.uk. You'll want the 3 network 12gb for 12 months data sim £27.99. You can get it from 3 shops but its around £40.
Activate it and pop it in the slot in the centre console.

I just allow the car to share my phone data, that works the Real Time traffic perfectly well....

Problem is you have to do that every time you get in the car.. get a fixed no contract data sim.

Its not a hardship to just turn on hotspot on my phone when I get in. I have ooodles of data that I never use on my phone (30gb a month and use about 3gb) so seems silly to buy more data when I have loads of unused....
