Connecting the car to the Internet via a mobile device (Wi-Fi)

Updated 2023-06-08

Establish an Internet connection via Wi-Fi tethering from a phone and get access to multiple connected services in your vehicle.

The phone and the network service provider must support Internet sharing (tethering) and the subscription must include data transfer.

Activate Internet sharing (personal hotspot) in the phone.

Tap Settings in the Top view.

Proceed to Communication → Wi-Fi.

Activate/deactivate by tapping to check/uncheck the Wi-Fi box.

Tap the name of the network you would like to connect.

Enter the network password.

If a different connection was used previously, confirm the connection change.

The vehicle will connect to the network.

Please note that certain cellular phones will disable Internet sharing (tethering) when the connection to the vehicle has been broken, e.g. when the phone has been removed from the vehicle. The phone's tethering function will then need to be reactivated the next time the phone's hotspot is used to connect to the Internet.

When a phone is connected to the vehicle, it will be saved for future use. When the maximum number of 50 connected phones has been reached, the first will be deleted. To display a list of saved networks or to manually delete saved networks, tap Settings → Communication → Wi-Fi → Saved networks.

Technical and security requirements for Wi-Fi connection are described in a separate section.
