Not enough bandwidth on Bluetooth to run it as the phone is effectively pushing its screen up to the car in a special format.
Thanks, good to know...how could I check if I have the wifi hotspot?

Not been told of one or given any login details that I remember.

Would it appear in the car list from the VIN? or in connected drive info?

TIA.
