Apple Carplay in the Boxster?

[BruceH]

Most people have unlimited data plans which is what CarPlay uses. You have to hook your phone up to the HU using the Lightning cable, which then initiates CarPlay and uses your unlimited phone plan.

My reference to using your phone as a hot spot refers to having an iPad mini installed and then using your phones data plan to provide data to the iPad. Three ways to go, sign up with your carrier and pay the monthly fee along with the data cap, jailbreak your phone and use an app that uses your phone's unlimited data plan, or buy a data plan for the iPad. I have a $15/month data plan for the iPad. Not sure exactly what my limit is, I believe I have 5gb's but I have not ever exceeded my limit.

You must be a T-Mobile user. Verizon dumped the last of its unlimited plans 5 years ago and now only 20% have been granted unlimited data. AT&T, who just got fined for throttling unlimited users, got rid of theirs 3 years ago and now less than 40% are allowed unlimited data. Sprint has unlimited data for $60 but only useful if you can actually get signal in your area. If AT&T are making an exception for free connection of unlimited data to CarPlay I would be surprised if they keep that up for long after the big FCC fine. AT&T are going to have to come up with a new way to get more dough out of that 40%. T-Mobile on the other hand seem to be catering to unlimited users to lock up market share.

I use Sprint. I have never had an issue getting a good signal and I travel all over the country.

This isn’t a dual one but I have one like this but I never installed it.
