Setting up an Internet connection using car telephony

Requirements:

For use with a mobile phone:
- The mobile phone supports the Bluetooth® SAP profile (SIM Access Profile) (see manufacturer's operating instructions).
- The mobile phone is switched on.
- The mobile phone is only connected as an SAP telephone and not in the Hands-Free Profile.
For use with a SIM card:
- A SIM card is inserted in the card slot in the telephone module More.
- The SIM card PIN is entered in the multimedia system.

After connecting the mobile phone or the SIM card with the multimedia system, there follows an automatic query about configuration of the hotspot.

Confirm the query for setting up the mobile hotspot via car telephony with Yes.

A submenu for the hotspot manual configuration settings appears.

Manually setting the access data of the mobile phone network provider

Check the access data in the overview.

Select Confirm settings.

If the provider is recognised correctly, the correct settings are already entered. If the access data is not correct, you can adjust this using the predefined settings.

Selecting the predefined access data of the mobile phone network provider

Select the Select predefined settings submenu.

A list of countries appears.

Select the country of your mobile phone network provider.

The list of available providers appears.

Select your own mobile phone network provider.

When an overview of the provider settings appears, make the necessary settings.

Select Confirm settings.

A confirmation for successful configuration appears.

To avoid possible additional costs, set the access data in the manual configuration settings, e.g. the Roaming option, according to your data tariff. You can contact your mobile phone network provider to obtain the precise access data.

Confirm the connection with the vehicle hotspot using the security key More.

Only for connections using the Bluetooth® SAP profile: if you use a mobile phone to provide the mobile hotspot for the vehicle, this telephone will no longer have any telephony and Internet functions and it cannot receive any more mobile phone data. To continue to use Internet functions on the mobile phone, you can connect it with the vehicle hotspot. In this way, the mobile phone accesses its own mobile phone data again, albeit using Wi-Fi. For this reason, to avoid possible additional costs, switch off the automatic download of software updates via Wi-Fi on your mobile phone, for example.

Setting up the mobile hotspot at a later time is also possible using the System menu More. If required, you can call up and adjust the access data at a later time in the same menu.
