If the phone can connect to the Internet and download Android auto then it would be a smartphone. You don't need to spend a fortune you can get perfectly good one for less than £100.

I have set my mobile phone to act as a wireless hotspot, this enables traffic and speed camera updates. Use the Kia Hotspot app so that this happens automatically.

I bought a TP-Link M7350 V4 LTE-Advanced Mobile Wi-Fi unit which is permanently left in the car plugged into the USB socket in the central armrest cubby. It is loaded with a Data only pay as you go SIM and I don't need to use my phone.

I was forever leaving the phone in the car before I bought the TP link and was going to buy a second phone until I found this - it is much cheaper and totally reliable.

Re: SATNAV speed camera warning

What exactly is a 'TP-Link M7350 V4 LTE-Advanced Mobile Wi-Fi unit'.
Can you explain what it does and how do you use it ?

A mobile Wifi unit is a device that connects to the Internet over 3G/4G via a SIM card and broadcasts a WiFi signal to the surrounding area which you can connect to. You would typically purchase it with a set amount of data which lasts for a given period, which you then pay to top up. It's an alternative to sharing the Internet connection from a smartphone but in both cases you have to pay for the data via a plan or Pay as You Go with your network provider.

The Kia Niro could connect via WiFi through it to enable live traffic update and speed camera information.
