Why does my Samsung phone...

[DJMCUK]

When connected to our Gen2 Macan S I am prevented from accessing the internet (engine off, sitting in car) on the phone until I disconnect bluetooth on it.

I recall the same issue on my 2012 TTS, but can't recall if I found a way around it other than bluetooth on/off all the time. I often forget to switch the bluetooth back on before I next drive the car and then can't answer calls when on the move.

Any ideas?

Thanks all.

My guess is that you have connected the phone to the car's Wi-Fi and it hasn't got internet connection. Unless you want the car's Wi-Fi hotspot to be available to passengers (kids with games consoles?) there's no benefit in that. Initially just try turning off the phones Wi-Fi which should get you connected via the mobile network, leaving Bluetooth alone. You can make that permanent by telling your phone to "forget" the car's Wi-Fi network. I've got the t-shirt!

Thanks for that. I'll have a fiddle.
