Hi,
I can't remember where I read it now, but I think the car needs to be paired with a mobile phone with internet tethering enabled. It might have been the BMW bluetooth page, yes it was

http://www.bmw.com/com/en/owners/nav...=EU&country=UK

"Data communication
BMW TeleServices
To make use of BMW TeleServices, the service provider needs to unlock the 'Tethering' tariff option."


Its a bolt on option with most iphone contracts.

Has anyone with the tethering enabled on an iphone contract

If anyone has a Google Nexus with their own contract it might work with that.

I also read somewhere the BMW telmatics does not use 3G so the internet via it must be quite slow. I am not sure how usable the BMW internet service would be when its enabled.

Paired with a 3G phone on the other hand the speed might be ok!

Good luck!
