Connect to the Internet with Sensus Connected Touch

The Sensus Connected Touch option allows you to connect to the Internet using your mobile phone or a 3G/4G dongle.

Connect to Internet

There are two ways of connecting to the Internet with Sensus Connected Touch:

Wi-Fi connection from mobile phone

Make sure that your phone supports tethering and that this function is activated. This function is called “tethering” on the iPhone and “personal hotspot” in Android. Follow the instructions on the Sensus Connected Touch screen.

Connection via a 3G/4G dongle

A portable modem (dongle) connected via a USB port gives you a more stable connection to the Internet. If you are connected via a dongle, you can create a Wi-Fi network in the car using of Sensus Connected Touch. This will then allow several people to use the Internet.

Compatible mobile phones

Mobile phones with functionality allowing them to share Wi-Fi are supported by the system (iPhone, Android, Blackberry and Windows phones).

Safety

Sensus Connected Touch is not connected to the safety functions in the car and does not affect any safety systems if the system is subjected to a virus attack.

3G/4G coverage not available

If you are in a place where there is no 3G/4G coverage, the connection is moved to the GSM network instead. This may affect functionality.

The Internet connection is interrupted or dropped

If the Internet connection is temporarily disrupted, Sensus Connected Touch will buffer and music apps playing online will continue to work. If the Internet connection is disrupted for any length of time, you will lose your connection.
