Hi all,

I did search on the forum and found nothing about this.

y question is to know if there is any way to turn the hotspot on while I’m around the truck for work usage, like laptop, etc.

actually, the only way I found is to turn the truck on without starting the engine. This consume lot more energy from the battery.

I have the smartkey FOB and a lariat, so I don’t have the accessories on the key.

I also tried to turn the radio ON with the radio power button, don’t work.

any idea?

Thanks you all for your help.

Your are probably right about the way it work, but honestly, this could be more pratical than using my phone. It will drain my phone battery so fast. Also, the truck have a better signal where I need it.

I’ll keep an eye on this


thanks!

yes, but I’m living in canada. I was able to activate the US package for the unlimited data on the truck at 20$/month. This is not available for the cellphone here. This is very interesting and useful.

My other option is to check if I can power up the modem with a swtich or something like this.

the package work everywhere in usa and canada, no matter where you buy it.

you simply need an address in usa, add it to approved address with your credit card and purchase a prepaid/renewable data package with at&t usa.

they don’t really care for now.

I asked the ladie at the customer service before, ans she told me there is no surprise.
I’ll test it a bit more, but now... nothing bad to say.

sorry, the pictures are in french, but you can see... unlimited and I live in canada
