Connectivity buying guide
Wi-Fi vs 4G vs 5G CarPlay AI Box
Choose mobile connectivity by how the device will get online, the countries where it will be used and the services the customer actually needs.
Wi-Fi-only keeps the hardware simple
A Wi-Fi-only model uses a phone hotspot or another Wi-Fi network. It is suitable when a separate SIM plan is unnecessary.
