7. Installation of electrical
devices
There must be a
Hobby system
(i.e. an installed
Box with an integrated SIM card) in the caravan in order to establish
a connection between the Ci-Bus-enabled components in the caravan
and the app.
The connection between the caravan and the app can only be es
-
tablished if the Box has been activated on the server and
assigned to the corresponding vehicle. To activate the
Box, the access code (Hobby code) must be entered in the
HobbyConnect app.
Connecting via Hobby
( Box/mobile communication)
Upon request by the customer, the responsible dealer
will activate the Box. The customer will then
receive the access code via e-mail or the appropriate
key card will be handed over by the dealer.
The Box automatically connects itself to the
server via the SIM card as soon as the Box has been con
-
nected to the electric system. Only connect the Box to
the on-board equipment just before using the Hobby
-
system.
The SIM card includes a 12-month m2m
telephone contract
(for
data transmission via the Internet). The contractual period begins as
soon as the system has been connected. Before the term is over, the
HobbyConnect app
will call on the user to purchase an extension for
the telephone contract. After 12 months, the SIM card will be deac
-
tivated if no extension has been purchased. If the existing contract is
extended, it is then possible to use the Hobby system for a
further 12 months. If the subscription runs out, the SIM card will be
deactivated. To reactivate the Hobby system, the provider
will send an e-mail requesting payment.
- If the contract is not extended, the components can
only be operated by remote control via Bluetooth
when standing in the near vicinity (HobbyConnect).
- To enable data to be transferred, the camper must be
located within the group of countries shown in hat
-
ched lines on the map on
page 82
.
- The telephone contract runs for 12 months. Contract
extensions must be purchased.
- The SIM card will be deactivated after the renewal pe
-
riod has expired.
- A new SIM card can be obtained together with a new
Hobby box through your dealer.
- Your cell phone provider may charge extra if you use an
Internet connection abroad.
