No extra costs other than the unlock cost.

I keep looking at the HMI unlock though.

True...I opted for the unlimited data plan. Gives me more consistent data signal than tethering my phone does (everywhere!).

That said, the first thing I do every time I get in my car is plug in my Android and fire up Waze. Then, I jump back to the home screen, start Pandora or iHeartradio, and cruise! I'm covered either way!

quick question, when I'm reading open the shop app, is this what everyone is talking about? (see picture). Also do I need to create an account when I do this?

I will be using my Samsung 8 active via hotspot connection to my 17 SS. I did notice a few new apps loaded (people, wsj, I heart, and 1 or 2 others. are there more??

That is the shop app we are talking about. It will prompt you for account. And yes there are a few more inside the app shop.

To use the App Shop you have to create an account. (At least that’s what I recall) It will walk you through it on screen.
