BMW online and BMW Internet

These are gimmicky features but may as well get them working since my headunit is activated for them

Was a bit of a pain, but got it working. Ultimately you need to find a russian VIN number of a car that came with BMW Online and Internet. This region allows those services to be used without a subscription.

I then wrote the VIN to the combox and turned on Bluetooth tethering on my phone.

The result is a very clunky web browser (which doesn't work for most sites since the SSL certificate has expired! )

BMW Online only shows weather, don't know if I need to set up an account properly with BMW before it works with Web Radio. For some reason I can't log in with the account I made with my CIC, it just displays an error saying theres no connection when I try to login.

Gimicky features and way to slow for actual use, but a good conversation piece at car meets lol
