    I got min activated by visiting the website and using "live Chat"

    I explained that my car would not receive the registration link

    so they sent it to an email address instead and followed it from there.

    Good advice Maz! I did the same this afternoon. Tho I am still struggling to get the nav system to recognise the sim. See some screen shots if the settings. Should it recognise it automatically.. or do I need to change anything?

    Thanks I just ordered one, as my Three 24 month data sim is bout to expire soon.
    Do you have to activate something to get the free 200mb a month or does it come set up?

    Cheers

    Hi,
    Not familiar with your car but are you sure its not still looking at the phone for its data sourse.
    is there a setting to use the separate sim?
    Or try disconnecting your Bluetooth phone ten insert sim.

    I think I had to enable it first from a mobile, then simply put the sim into the sim slot in the car and it worked. The 200mb just automatically refreshes each month. It certainly wasn’t difficult or have loads of hoops to jump through. IHTH

    You need to get the data reward setup and activated. Need an email address allocated to it that they can send an activation code to: either that or contact them direct via their online support chat facility. They send a link that you can then logon and update the password and that should be you setup/ready to go: install sim in car and you should be working.

    However I’ve done all this and sim is still not getting recognised. Maz: thanks for info. There is a setting for a bonded mobile phone to provide calls only via Bluetooth: I’m sure that is set: I will check. There are separate setup screens for the data connection in the mmi telephone menu area. These are the photo’s I included previously. Did your registered sim work automatically? Are your data connection settings different to mine? (A lot of questions I know...)

    Is anyone still successfully using a Three Network data reward sim? I had problems with mine but thought I had eventually got it setup. Turns out it has now been cut off/ cancelled as it was not getting used. So I am now back in the market for a data sim. Should I try the data reward sim again… or another best alternative?

    I was using an ordinary 3 SIM and using PAYG, it needed topping up so infrequently that it worked out pretty cheap. I hadn't heard of the data reward SIM but they seem to be still available so I just ordered one - thanks for the tip!

    No worries on the data reward. Mine took a bit of setting up; then I seemed to have issues keeping it alive/active. (Eventually got it setup using the Three online chat support channel) The concept here being that the free 200mb a month, which tho not carrying over every month, would be enough for keeping google maps updated and even do the odd online internet search. Being honest I never got to point that this setup was working as planned.

    However… I think I will order another and have another go. I think there are others on here who have successfully got this setup.
