Product Information

I also have managed to connect the Infotainment system in my car to the WiFi hotspot of my home router. No problem there. BRISKODA is owned and operated by Summit 360 Ltd, registered in England & Wales, company number 05710517.

Any way I think i've managed to get it working, so thought i'd post to share with anyone else on EE.About to buy a 7.5 GTi and keen to enable all the online stuff on car-net without having to enable a hot spot on my phone each time I drive the car. In my opinion the Guide and Inform Services , news, weather, traffic etc are of marginal interest and are useable only when not driving - better off using the phone. The built in sat-nav, with car-net active and the maps up to date, is terrific, the traffic information is better and clearer than Android Auto Google Maps. It is really getting off topic to discuss the relative merits of the iPhone and Android phones. I’ve been a Luddite for many years and have refused to buy a smart phone. However, my elder daughter has an Android and is very pleased with it, and my younger daughter has an iPhone and is equally pleased with it. And, having watched them use various useful apps on their phones, I’ve been persuaded to buy a smart phone.

If using streaming services occasional dropouts due to signal loss are avoided by saving playlists to the phone. If you don't have the discovery nav you can still just use the mini wi-fi router to create a network without having to go through the head unit. All content is viewed and used at your own risk. We do not warrant the accuracy or reliability of any of the information.Internet connection - Personal Hotspot - wrong assumption. When set up the phone acts as a mobile wi-if router and can share its internet connection with any wi-if device, of which one is the DNS and therefore car-net. Its not the Pro - because its got the knobs on it! (which I'm grateful for - I like a volume knob!) Usually connected to USB, as VW CarPlay needs physical link for Spotify etc. This means battery drain is not an issue, the hotspot on the phone is not working whilst away from the car, but charges when in use. Ah so it's just a wifi hotspot, using the van for power. You could plug it in to a battery and it'd serve the same function.
