Wi-Fi to my kids Nintendo Switch

Just can't do it. I can connect anything else. Other people's iPads. Anything. But not his Nintendo Switch.

The Switch recognizes the Wi-Fi. But will not connect? Called BMW Genius. Restarted I Drive. Restarted the Switch.

Nothing.

Has anyone else been able to connect a Switch?

Yes. We hooked up a NES, SNES classic and a Genesis. It worked well but in two player mode it slowed down a bit.

I am not trying to hook up to the BMW rear seat entertainment system. Just trying to get the Nintendo Switch to hook up to the WIFI.

I was able to connect my kids Nintendo Switch to the X7 WiFi just fine with no issues.

How? The Switch sees the wifi but then says it needs authorization. I click next and nothing happens.

Thanks a lot, but I input the HDMI and cannot find the options in menu, it still only have car play, Bluetooth and radio, there is no others. In menu book say it will have HDMI options, but after I connect NS, there is no options here. What can I do? Thx again

Try with a Roku or another device. Make sure the power is on otherwise it will not recognize it.
