That's when I bought mine too. Trial is 3 GB or 3 months (whichever comes first). Looks like hotspots are now through T-mobile from 2022 model year, forward.

Follow the link in my previous post to sign up. The service itself is average at best and expect to have to reboot the wifi from time to time.
The link you shared above asks first for your country, and US isn’t an option.

Based on your profile, it looks like you have 2019 model. most likely they have ATT as hotspot provider. this is the link for ATT => https://myvehicle.att.com

Why not just hotspot your cell phone itself??

I have att and i think it was 10 dollars for hotspot. I have unlimited and it would be rare to get to the usage amount when the cellular service throttles it back.

I am sure it is similar with other companies but pricing might be different....

It is more of a convenience. Primary reason being, Phone getting hot while running GPS/maps (through CarPlay), in a call and sharing data with others at the same time.

$20 unlimited data, my kids use this to watch movies during travel and connected dash cam. Also, I have my mobile connect to this hot spot while driving so that this data is used

Thanks! My 19 did have the AT&T plan. Just picked up my 23 today and spent hours getting the wifi set up. I did find your subsequent post with the US link and it was helpful.
