RSaP, MMI, MyAudi and MMI Connect

Good point, well made. That could get messy if my torrent client or musicserver rsync kicks in because it's detected a wifi connection.

I think I'll leave as-is, and if I need mobile data for anything other than navigating, I'll flick off Bluetooth.

Hello
Just wanted to ask a few questions, so managed to get rsap (trial version) to run on my samsung s5. Went to the car and connected it and it began to pull the data through and things like google maps began to work. I connected back to the cars wifi and the phone had internet access. somethings i want to confirm though:

when the Phone is connected like this then I have no way of making a call directly from the handset, it says unregistered network?
When i disconnect then I get a configuration message from my provider (vodaphone) saying something has changed an config needs installing, very annoying
also does not look like it supports 4g though?

I need to confirm I am doing this right?

My car a 61 reg audi q7 with sim slot and mmi.

Sorry for newbie question

I can answer most of this.

1. Once the phone is connected, it's a proxy SIM for your car. The phone itself no longer has a SIM - rSAP makes the SIM available to the car (and you can't have a SIM connected to more than one device). The most annoying thing I've found is that if an SMS arrives while rSAP is connected, it is stored by the car, not the phone. So you can actually miss a text message as it's only available on the car storage.

2. I've been told that if you enable wifi on the phone, and connect to your car's wifi hotspot, you can still surf on the phone - via wifi, through the car's internet connection, which then goes back to the phone! But I've not got this to work.

3. The config messages from Vodafone are *really* irritating. I used to get 5-10 messages each journey. You can get them disabled by asking Vodafone, but the process is a bit convoluted. I managed to get it done - took about 3 days. See this thread: Configuration texts on rSAP disconnect! - Vodafone eForum

As an aside, you shouldn't need the rSAP Android app for an S5. All Samsung Galaxy phones support rSAP - although there was a bad Lollipop update which broke it. See here: Compatibility
