I enabled the data pass premium (free for a month) to test out if any new features other than the hotspot were enabled, however I don’t see any other benefits. Am I missing something, and is it even worth it?

Do you have Porsche Rear Seat Entertainment? Maybe those screens show something new?

App Centre
Hotspot to share the data package - alternative is to share your mobile
Radio Plus

Not worth it IMHO

I actually started to pay for it because the noise insulated glass reduces my cell reception turning areas of low signal to no signal, and the hot spot is way more reliable (I assume because it has an external antenna). This is not something I want to pay extra for, and I see no other benefit.

Antenna is in the front / rear window glass ironically.

I might be wrong but if you connect your phone wired then it may take advantage of the antenna (my guess).

The rear tablets have zero integration with the car besides taking power from it and turning on/off with the car.

It's just a tablet to which you can stream to using a few different protocols.

One thing I used it for is enabling the Porsche OEM dashcam app to work without disabling Carplay.

Now that I don't have a dashcam any more, I don't need it.
