Short background: Bought the F-Pace in October, and the 3G never worked properly during my 3 month trial. The 3G supported features did not seem all that useful, so I did not press the dealer to fix this. After the end of the 3 month trial, the dealer installed an update that supposedly fixes the 3G problems. I say "supposedly" because without a data plan, how would I know? No bigs.
Yesterday, I mention all of this to the service rep wile I have the car in for something unrelated, and he gives me this chart. He says it shows the connectivity that ought to work even without 3G. After months on this forum, I'm pretty sure the list is wrong (or, at least, does not show what the service rep thinks it shows). But I haven't tried to use these features in months because I assumed they relied on 3G. So I try a couple of the "JLR Provided - Warranty Period" items on the way home. As expected, they don't work. For example, when I tried to add the realtime traffic layer to the map, I got the "Traffic info isn't available now" error. In settings, under "Map features >> Traffic on map," it says "No data connection."
So what even is this chart? There is nothing on the page other than what is shown in the picture, and it looks like the header has been cut off. I feel stupid for saying so, but even though I didn't care about these features when I thought they required an extra monthly charge, it kind of pisses me off that they don't work if they are supposed to for free. Secondary issue: I have had my doubts about this service rep before, and would like the forum's feedback on this chart to help make an informed decision about whether to request a different rep.
