I am pretty much a novice with this vehicle tech stuff.
Why would one need or have desire to connect their X5 to a home wifi? There seems to be a good many guys on here who are quite conversant with all this mobile technology and I am not one of them but better than I was not so long ago. |

The cellular connection isn't super fast, so downloading it first to your phone is usually faster. Once it's in the phone, transferring it to the X5 is fairly fast. There's a setting in the BMW app for the phone to limit the download to only use WiFi if you want to avoid downloading over a gig on your cellular plan.
