Dear Service Managers & Service Advisors,

The following questions are intended to speed up the prior approval process so that

technicians have this information if a TCAM (telematics connectivity antenna module)

replacement is needed.

Having these answers directly from the customer if there are connectivity related concerns will

streamline the process at your retailer, for the support team, and ultimately the customer.

What questions should service advisors ask customers?

If a customer has a connectivity issue:

•

•

•

•

•

•
When date did it last happen?

Does it happen in a specific location?

Does it happen after driving for a while? At startup?

How long did they lose connectivity?

Did they notice the connection triangle had an X? an empty triangle? (see images below)

Has the customer performed any resets? (home button, TCAM)
