Data plan/wifi in car - the advantages?

[darkabaz]

What are the advantages for having a cubic data plan or connection to wifi hotspot from phone?
Because with cupra connect i see all actual car info without any external connection, and, if im right there are also OTA updates.

The only thing i see is that there is no webradio without a connection.
Are there more missing features?

Having just picked ours up I too have a similar question since there are specific internet radio stations we like to listen to, which we would like to do wirhout having to connect via a hotspot on our phones.

The connect app won't connect remotely once your first free data year is over, the useless in built satnav won't update or show traffic but otherwise I didn't notice much difference in my last MK4.

According to the CUPRA Connect site, "...with CUPRA Connect Plus, included for 3 years.": CUPRA CONNECT ONLINE SERVICES

They've changed that since Seat became Cupra, it also says ten years included to remotely access the car - perhaps nobody used the app after the first year when it had to paid for?
