    Question OTA via myBmw: wifi connection required

    Hi,

    I have a G31 where i want to upgrade the software via OTA using an iphone 13.
    Downloading the update to the phone was no problem.

    When i try to connect the phone to the car, it keeps saying "wifi connection required".

    I do not have the wifi hot spot option, but i can select wifi and wifi hotspot in the cars > phone subscreen and even connect the phone to the intern car network, but the apps keep saying the same :-(

    Any help please ?

    kind regards, Tom.

    Hi Tom, sorry for the delay. Fortunately you do not need wifi hotspot. Connect to the car’s wifi, and in your phone settings, go to myBMW, and allow the myBMW app to access local network. That should do it.
