In the phone settings, find [WLAN] and tap to open it. Locate the car's WiFi name in WLAN and tap to connect. No password is required for connection; you can directly access and save it.
As someone who frequently drives on trips, I find that connecting to the car's WiFi makes long journeys much easier, such as listening to music or using navigation without consuming mobile data. The connection steps are actually straightforward: after getting in the car, ensure the engine is started so the WiFi system can function. Then, navigate to the settings menu on the central console, select the 'Network' or 'Hotspot' option to turn on the car's WiFi. On your phone, open the WiFi settings and search for a network name like 'MyCarWiFi' or the car brand name. Once selected, you'll be prompted to enter a password. The password is often found on the first page of the user manual or a small card in the glove box, with defaults possibly being '123456' or the last few digits of the VIN. After entering the correct password, you'll be connected—remember to change it to a stronger password for security on first use. Some car models require activating data services via an app, such as downloading the car manufacturer's official app to register and subscribe. If I encounter weak signals, pulling over and restarting the car usually helps. The whole process takes about 30 seconds—practical and cost-effective.
We have two kids at home, and when we drive out, they quietly watch cartoons by connecting to the car's WiFi instead of making noise. Connection method: Press the one-button start in the car, swipe to the 'Connection' section on the central control screen, and turn on the WiFi hotspot. On your phone, go to Settings > WiFi, select the car's network name, and enter the password. The password is usually noted in the manual provided with the new car during registration. If you can't find it, try default passwords like 000000. Once the kids' tablets are connected, we save on personal hotspot data. Be careful not to lose connection in remote areas—I usually check the signal coverage map in advance. If it fails the first time, check if the car supports WiFi functionality; older models might lack this feature and require an upgrade. For security, use encrypted networks to prevent theft, especially when traveling.
