I'm no programmer, but seems like they could require a wifi connection to use it.
But this browser is intended mostly to display the SXM account page, and probably what is used to view the owners manual. So it was designed to work on the cellular connection at all times.

I’ll bet our friends in Europe have it as well. They have all kinds of insane privacy regulations, particularly the Germans.
Hey, have any Californians tried it? California has different privacy laws.
Nope, not in SoCal anyway...

Somehow, I don’t think they gave it that much thought. For all we know, it may be whatever browser came with the QNX development kit. Why invest money developing a browser users will never see? Spend that money developing a remote frunk release ? oh, wait ?

I’ll be opening a crow restaurant down in Florida if anyone wants to stop by, lunch is on me ?
Well hey now ... For us in the USA we don't have this so you only have to pay 1/2 the tab. I mean, we can't find something that we don't have!

I think that but also the fact it isn't auto disabled the second you move out of park
it keeps working if you crawl along but the video stops playing when you hit 5 mph and the screen locks up too. just like the games. but there is no warning pop-up

Changed the country code in the asbuilt to Canada instead of US. Not sure what that breaks yet but it goes to the Canada site after that.

That's a fun find! I'm guessing the loophole will be closed within 48hrs. No OTA update necessary.

1080p seems to work fine. Anything higher lags out pretty bad.

Actually, I was going to ask if anyone has tried changing the language to Spanish or something? ?

It actually does use the wifi connection if it's available.

On cellular it looks to be throttled to around 8mbps
