How to connect to internet?

elzorro4 · 12-30-2014, 01:26 PM

I have a 135i 2013 with iDrive.
I have an Iphone 5 paired to the iDrive but I cant find the way to make de BMW Internet work...

Any thoughts?

Thanks

Was the car moving or parked? I really did not think the e82 had this feature until I saw this article(bellow)...

Has anyone actually used this feature? It seems like using voice recognition to enter URL's and the iDrive knob to navigate web pages would get old real quick, especially when you have your smart phone with a nice big screen sitting next to you. Reminds me a bit of WebTV sans wireless keyboard.

I bought the expanded ConnectedDrive service thinking it would enable it. My old dealership (BMW Encinitas) lied and said it would. It didn't.
