The phone connects to the car via bluetooth, and the phone internet connection needs to be 'shared' - which is tethering. I had exactly the same message when I forgot to enable bluetooth tethering on my iphone. After enabling, it works fine.

Although there are some apps that give Android this profile I have not managed to get the Car to work with any Android phone (ignoring rooted phones) or custom firmware. At least with Android 2.3 |

If you have a BMW assist account it seems to only be able to use the cars built in data. The manual and the car seem to infer that you can use it via the phone by selecting Data via bluetooth in the iDrive but I've never got the Data via bluetooth to work BMW Live uses it via the mobile phone, so may be the Data via bluetooth will only work if you don't have BMW assist!

Latest ICS Android phones (in my case, GSM Galaxy Nexus) has bluetooth tethering support built-in. I can confirm that my F10 internet works with my Android Galaxy Nexus

Those cars have Internet working over the Assist services and it will not work in your country. If your car has the SA644 and SA614 options then the Internet should work over you phone's data connection. In any case if the car has the CIC (SA609) and the Combox (SA6VC) we can retrofit the Internet and BMW Online/Live. |

Just curious, but did you specifically try with the apps "FoxFi" or "BlueDun"? I ask because I am thinking of paying someone to do the coding for my US vehicle and I am unsure if the bluetooth tethering feature will work with my samsung galaxy sII. I downloaded those two apps because they specifically support bluetooth tethering and each have the bluetooth DUN profile. But of course I have not been able to test them yet. |

I have the same problem.
Picked up my car on Monday, and at first I had Transferring data via bluetooth device checkbox. When I activated Connected drive I got the BMW Apps, Weather, country info, etc. working, but lost the above option, and cannot connect to internet for browsing. This really sucks |

After you have paired your phone and enabled data transfer, go "Services" in the main menu and update avalible services. This is what i had to do to use the internet function. Additionally, although your phone has tethering capabilities, your phone service provider (such as those in US) might have disabled the tethering plan because they charge extra for that. You might want to make sure you can really tether by testing it on your PC first.

I tried that, tethering is working with a PC connected through bluetooth. The car is connected to Iphone, but even after updating Services, there is still no option to Transfer data via bluetooth device. Do you have ConnectedDrive activated? |
