Always used Vodafone I'm the ones I have, I suppose its better to choose what provider has the best coverage on your area.

Mine came with a EE sim included in the price

Thanks Guys.

Mine has come with an EE sim, but some have a minimum usage clause.
ie, no out going calls/txt within 180 days and the sim is de-activated.

@Mike, have you had any issues with EE like this?

It won't have been fitted that long.

Are you sure it's outgoing calls/texts?

I believe it's to remain active, which it does as I send it a text now again just to check/show off it's capabilities lol.

A friend of mine with a BMW i3 was way impressed lol

Mike,

My understanding is it has to be a 'chargeable' item, hence outgoing

I find the units fit nicely on the right hand side of the centre console above the ashtray, dead easy to get to should you wish.

Andy,
Is that where the drivers side cup holder should be?

Hi Steve

My temp gauge circuit board lives there.

Did you come up with the best sim card for our use?

I eventually decided on a ASDA mobile pay as you go.

I will just need to fit it to a phone an send a text every 180 days to keep it active.
