Has anyone experienced high data usage spikes?
I have a 3GB monthly allowance which is usually plenty, but the last couple of weeks my usage has shot up.
July - 1.74GB, August - 1.05GB, Sept - 3.4GB.
Having spoken to my data provider he suggested that the high usage occasions looked like software downloads.
Sounds reasonable but when I suggested turning off data roaming he said only used abroad??
I turned roaming off and found there was no Live Traffic Update? I don't feel I can trust his above statement.
Does anyone know?
Are software updates downloaded when not requested?
Can updates occur when car is not running?
On one occasion 1.2GB was used whilst I only travelled 18 miles in the day.
My knowledge on such issues is very limited so would appreciate others experiences on this topic.

IMHO the data depends on traffic in your area or en-route, I usually limit mine to 1gb a month but i don't use the satnav every day and not often in heavy traffic areas.
When I heard about a recent OTA software update I logged the car onto my home wifi.

Not sure if you got this one sorted out but I experienced the same. Mine was linked to the sat Nav map updates set to automatic (not linked to the actual system software updates) so when the area u live in gets updated it was constantly pushing the new update. You can go into the sat Nav system settings and switch this off until ur connected to wifi &#x1f44d-1f3fb;
