Personal Data Plan

Just connect the truck to your home wifi and download offline maps to the head unit and you still have navigation....or use you phone.

I have an AT4 for over 1 year now, still haven't figured out how to use my existing data plan with AT&T to have my car connectivity active and use its capabilities in full, without signing for an additional data plan with GMC?

Yes you can use your phone data plan turn on your phone hotspot and select it in the truck connections screen enter your password
To have it connect automatically set up an automation shortcut in your phone to turn on hotspot every time your phone connects with truck

Great updates from you all. Legally speaking it feels like a scam by GMC, where they build a capability, advertise, but you are "slaved" to a service to get it operational.

That is the cheap stuff that annoys a lot, same as when an airliner charges you a small fee to select a seat or board a plane.

Is is an useful automation. We should not have to create these "go arounds".

I called OnStar and they offered unlimited data for $15 a month. Covers hotspot and all the truck tech.

We pay $200/yr for our data plans, so with our updated screens it works out well.

This is great stuff, would you mind sharing a bit more on how to make it or sending a link (maybe Youtube), etc.

Data plan is a big waste of $. CarPlay / Android Auto work just fine. Side note: I’m signed into my google account in the truck, and have access to the full Google map feature. Just sign in and you should be good.
