Connecting to mobile hotspot.

60041 · May 26th, 2019, 17:55

Since I bought my V90 a year ago, I have been using my iPhone as a mobile hotspot for downloading apps, getting real time traffic updates etc. Being an iPhone, it has never connected automatically, but has always connected when asked to do so.
However, I am now getting a message on the sensus screen saying that no connections are available.
I have tried deleting my phone from the known networks and setting up a new connection, and have tried connecting my wife's iPhone, without success.
Both phones connect as a hotspot to an iPad without a problem.
Any ideas?

Has the wifi box been ticked, if so un-tick it to use hotspot.

I have tried with the box ticked and unticked, but it doesn’t make any difference.
The strange thing was that it has worked perfectly for a year, then just was not available one day when I started the car, yet none of the settings on either the car or phone had been changed.

Had similar issues in the past. Has your Iphone been updated? If so you may have to enable the personal hotspot setting on your phone.

Also note my connection has been more stable since the Sensus system was updated at the last service in April.
