2024 1500. Let the data plan expire after the trial period (3 months). After it expired, I was using downloaded offline maps downloaded over my home wifi or hotspot. I downloaded these after the expiration, and have done so multiple times. I thought this was the workaround. Due to a myriad of issues, including the cameras not working when requested, the system freezing up and the GPS not working after a few weeks at a time, I've done several soft resets. After the reset, I am no longer able to download the offline maps, despite being connected to my home wifi or hotspot. It presents a message stating that offline maps are not allowed to be downloaded without a data plan, and that my previous maps have been deleted.
This is absolutely unacceptable. I dropped close to 70k for a truck, that in 2024, does not have the basic GPS functionality of a early 2000s Toyota.
I wouldn't give a ******, if Android Auto would consistently work. Every time I get in the truck, I have to restart my phone's bluetooth and wifi to get it to connect. It will often connect, and then after a minute disconnect and not reconnect until those services are restarted.
This thing is just an android tablet, and a crappy one at best. Anyone have any hacks to get offline maps to function again? I cannot believe the amount of bullshit I've had to jump through for this tuck.
