Turn off WiFi

Is there a way to disable WiFi in this vehicle? I do not use it (never have) and it interferes when I use a search function on my iPhone, asking to use WiFi.

Also, I received various notifications from AT&T regarding there various privacy policies and my information, all connected to the WiFi in my BMW. I do not want to give them, or anyone else, access to my information, contacts etc.

Before the latest update, it was impossible to stop my phone from auto connecting to the wifi, which was annoying because I didn't have the service. Even the BMW genius couldn't figure out how to make it stop.

After the update, I turned off the cars hotspot and it actually turns off now.

Exactly how do you turn off the car's hotspot?

Here you go. Attached is the owner's manual for the X7. Go to page 81 for instructions on how to enable/disable the WiFi hotspot.
