So, according to a few articles I've read recently, this being one of them, with the introduction of hot spot they added a second eSIM to the car. The primary eSIM is for the connected drive stuff and the second eSIM is for the hotspot. That's why the Connected Drive stuff worked but the hotspot didn't. The eSIM for the hotspot wasn't provisioned properly.

I was playing around bmw WiFi this morning I see option where bmw use iPhone personal hotspot to broadcast bmw wifi hotspot. As long as iPhone connect to car by Bluetooth and WiFi and kid iPad can use bmw hotspot in the car. I saw one of my kid iPad device listed that connect to bmw WiFi. I will play around some more tonight.

I like many of you had been frustrated on the connection and setup issue for the AT&T Wi-Fi Hotspot. I called BMW and they referred me to AT&T which didn't recognize the cars phone number but recognized my VIN. They opened a ticket for me and emailed me a day later with a "new" number to enter and register my car. The new number worked! And I now have the Wi-Fi Hotspot fully functioning in my G05.

Can you access the myvehicle.att page when connected to the car via CarPlay, or do you need to pair it through the WiFi only (apps and internet) function?

Today i had a problem with my connected app then on the way home i noticed the car was not getting data. I called assist and they took a lot of time since my car said disconnected on there end. While i was looking at stuff in the car that might be a problem i saw a had a notice on the pull down tab. I checked the notice and it was a new acceptance agreement. I touched accept and a moment later she said the car was transmitting data. I went back to my laptop and checked the connected app and now my car was there and had a new phone number. I then went to the myvehicle.atti page and was able to sign up and get the hotspot going.I did everything from my laptop.

The other method is that when that connection is on and a phone is attached to that WiFi beacon, prompt to join the WiFi through the activation wizard shows up. Not sure if everyone else got to it this way, but one my hotspot was finally live this popped up for me once I connected to the WiFi hotspot with the phone again. If you get the wizard just follow the steps through without stopping so you don't have to shut the car off or turn off the beacon and back on again to get it to start over.

I did try connecting via the WiFi only function yesterday, but didn’t realize at the time that I was supposed to access the ATT page that way. I was just trying random webpages, and none worked. I never saw any activation wizard promps either. I’ll give it another shot this morning if I still have access to the car. I don’t think I re-updated the apps either (though I did do a HU reset), so there’s a few things I can try still. This is for one of our customers, and quite honestly there is little to no info out from BMW on any of this. At least that technicians have access to. This thread is WAY more helpful than anything I’ve found on TIS. |
