The Karoo is a stand-alone android bike computer. Similar to most current smartphones, you will not have the option to tether data via Bluetooth.
You will be able to connect the Karoo via Wi-Fi to your phone's hotspot, although we don't recommend it, because it will increase your mobile phone's data costs (if applicable) and is an inefficient use of Karoo's battery power.

If I do not run with a SIM card installed, will connecting to my phone's WIFI hotspot give it the same functionality as if I was using a SIM card ?
I don't understand why Bluetooth to Smartphone for Data access (ride uploads/weather etc) can't be enabled?
Hot-spotting to my Smartphone(s) is a tremendous drain on battery.
This seems to be a no-brainer, why the lack of feature?
