I spoke to AT&T yesterday and a Genius...
AT&T said they had no record of my VIN or BMW supplied phone number (shocking) Genius said it was a known issue and would get back to me when resolved... I'll more than likely not use it long term - but it should work... like any of the other trial services. We'll see |

Ask your service adviser to for the Imei number. It should be in your car records (TCUESN/IMEI)
give that to ATT after that you number will change and you will be able to sigh up on web site |

What happens if I want just one month of Wifi after the three-month trial? I assume AT&T will insist on a year contract or a high premium for one month, no?

You don't have to tie it to your cell plan. It gives you the option to add a monthly service. You'll just have to remember to cancel it.

I think by itself, it is $20 a month. If you add it to an existing plan it could vary.

Thanks. I'll pass. Don't see a big need. No kids and no use of electronics except mobile phone.

I am using it more than expected for work on Wifi-only iPad but $20 a month is too much unless I can get that for a single month while driving 3K miles.

Welp after 2 months my hotspot finally works!
Dealer was clueless. Once my ConnectedDrive vehicle phone number changed on the BMW site, I signed up for the 3GB trial, and it didn't work.. so called AT&T a week or two ago, and after several emails (and them contacting BMWNA on my behalf) and them accidentally disconnecting my car from ConnectedDrive once, it finally works. Woo! Now to pay for all that YouTube kids streaming from the backseat ... |

Hi all
The at&t connection work if you as many spend alot of time trying different ways. I cannot remember if it was chrome or IE that was the only browser who worked with at&t website. I activated it just because nothing worked related to connected services. Activated I have a working hotspot but still nothing works concerning idrive7. I am talking about my apps getting available in the car. Fingers crossed it will start soon as I really miss my Spotify. I can use spotify as connected to a Bluetooth speaker but everytime i get a text that Bing reach the speakers or sound is lowered getting emails etc. The dealers was happy when i got that working.. New to BMW and I am suöorised over how much problems you get with it. Driven many other brands first year editions but this is by far the worst. Bmw has not even cared to contact us with a road map when to expect thing to work. I live in Sweden and hoped the european edition would get it fixed early being close to Germany. |

Its $25 unlimited or $10 for 1gb a month. It’s the best Mobile hotspot we have ever used from Pa to Florida. We had 3 devices all the time streaming and playing games. I even chatted on the forum while streaming Seinfeld on Hulu. As a reference point, the Ucconect system for the Jeep hotspot sucked. It was almost unusable with week signal strength in so many places I gave up on it on last years same trip.

My apple carplay doesn't work as I think it should, or I haven't set it up as it should. My phone connects to the bmw wi-fi, but I don't get internet from there, so it makes my phone useless. anybody can guide me as what to do? I use att, but can I use carplay without using the wifi? I tried with Bluetooth, but it wouldn't connect.

I'm not sure if anyone else has this issue. When I have the hotspot option toggled in iDrive my phone connects but will NOT prompt me to log in at all. My phone then proceeds to have WiFi issues and won't connect to another network until I reboot. I the issues is my phones software, not iDrive.
Samsung S9+ unlocked version running Android 9 (Pie) Build: PPR1.180610.011.G965U1EU3CSA8 I'll confirm whether or not the issue persists with my S10+ unlocked version that arrives tomorrow in elegant Ceramic White
