What are the reasons for BMW network connection failure?
2 Answers
BMW network connection failure may be caused by the following reasons: Unpaid BMW in-car network fees: There are many reasons for the 4G network signal loss in BMW's in-car navigation system. First, check if there are any unpaid fees or if the data plan has been exhausted. Issues with the car's infotainment system settings: If there are no unpaid fees, it may indicate a problem with the car's infotainment system or its settings. You can try turning on your phone's hotspot and connecting the car's WiFi to the phone's hotspot, which may provide a more stable connection than using the car's built-in network. Driving in a tunnel: Additionally, 4G signals can become very weak in parking lots or tunnels. After exiting the parking lot, try restarting the system. If the issue persists, it is recommended to visit a BMW 4S store for further inspection.
Recently, my BMW's internet connection keeps dropping frequently, and I think there are several main reasons. Signal issues are the primary cause, especially when parked in a garage or remote area where network coverage is poor. System settings might also be incorrect—for example, the built-in SIM card may not be activated or the subscription service could have expired—BMW's connected services require a paid subscription to function. Software bugs are another common factor; outdated systems can become sluggish. I can try restarting iDrive or checking for updates in the settings. Additionally, aging hardware components like the antenna module might lead to poor connectivity. Related tip: Regularly test signal strength in open areas; check your email for any service notifications from BMW. Connecting to a mobile hotspot can provide a temporary fix. After all, unstable internet affects navigation and entertainment, and safe driving comes first—it's advisable to visit a professional workshop for a check-up.
