Ran through update, reboot iDrive, connect phone and iPad to wireless hotspot. Can not connect to ATT site (or any other website) on either device while using hotspot WiFi. Tried using my vehicle’s cell number found on the Connected website - error message.
Sounds like a bunch of us still have not been enabled with ATT and have non-functional hotspots (still). |

The fun continues. I'll get a hold of the Genius line tomorrow when they open to see if there is a ghost of a chance to get it working or confirmed that the vehicle is listed with AT&T. If anyone has an update before I post what happens, let us know what your outcome was.

Yes that's it. If you enable the internet connection then all devices attached to the WiFi will try to route internet traffic over that cell in the car. You should be able to go to a site like google.com in your phone's web browser and a page for activation of the internet connection should come up if the hotspot cell is working properly. I don't have snap shots of the under experience for this, but I believe some others have shared on this thread or in the forum of what they've seen during a successful setup.

Here's my update:
Spoke with the Genius line. Even though some cars are starting to work when turning on the WiFi, others in the 2019 X5 still haven't begun working. The Genius was very honest with me about the ongoing problems and said that once the hotspot is able to be turned on that the trial will begin once it is activated. So now for me it is just wait and see while they get each car up as they go through all of the VINs. Outside of me trying to activate from time to time there is nothing left for me to do until AT&T allows that hotspot's SIM to start transmitting over their network.

Same issue Here. ATT has no info from BMW. and BMW has no idea when they will send the data to them.
In the meantime - My phone keeps grabbing the car WiFi even after i forget the network since it needs it to connect to apple car play. This makes the cell data stuck and no info is coming to the phone. I can fix it by turning WiFi off, but apple car play does not work. Any suggestions? |

Shut off the internet connection setting in the same screen you enable WiFi

Is there any point in calling the number offered or my CA or is it a waiting game based on the VINs?

This seems to be in AT&Ts and BMW Corporate's hands so probably very little you'll get out of them. However, we are all hoping for more tasty info for those of us that still have this issue. If you call let us know what you find out.

He said that when someone calls, they forward the VIN to a team specializing in this issue. He said it was unknown if the problem was with BMW or AT&T. I understand that to mean that all those who have this issue should call the Corporate IT to forward your VIN which should benefit all of us.

While trying to sign up via myvehicle.att.com, it asks for my "Vehicle Mobile Number." Where can I find this information?
For vehicles equipped with Internet Hotspot, the vehicle mobile number can be found on the main status page of the My BMW ConnectedDrive Portal www.bmwusa.com/MyBMWConnectedDrive. ~~~~~~~~~~ Why I don't see that number in portal: |

I’ve been very confused over this whole WIFI thing, I in fact have a WIFI password, I called the genius to get some clarity and they set this up before I took delivery. Those waiting on your builds should request this be done before your delivery. Just wanted to let you all know.

I have requested a PUMA case to be submitted from the dealership to BMW for this so the service department foreman at the dealership is escalating that up to BMW for me and my CA. I'll let everyone know how it turns out.
