I'm driving the vRS to work tomorrow so I'll carry on experimenting to try and confirm these methods. All content is viewed and used at your own risk. We do not warrant the accuracy or reliability of any of the information.

This is much safer as I can glance at the TomTom whilst keeping the road ahead within my field of vision. I'll try to take some pics. I can see them on the map, but I've not driven past one yet. It chimes to let you know a POI is nearby I believe. Any way I think i've managed to get it working, so thought i'd post to share with anyone else on EE. Yes - iPhone is mobile Wi-fi router when connected via its Personal Hotspot to DNS as a wi-fi client.

If using streaming services occasional dropouts due to signal loss are avoided by saving playlists to the phone. Plugging it in with hotspot enabled then forces it to connect and it continues to work after unplugging. I am still not sure whether your iPhone is configured as a mobile WiFi router AND is also connected to the Infotainment system by USB cable – that is, you use both types of connection.

I don't have a smart phone at the moment. I'm trying to decide which one to buy and which SIM plan to get. I'm leaning towards an Android phone though. VW UK Customer Services say that they receive fewer support requests from drivers with iPhones than they do from drivers with Android phones. When I pointed out that there are probably about four times as many Android phones in the world as there are iPhones, they couldn't comment any further!

You state "Personal hotspot on and linked to car.". I'm sorry but I don't understand this. I am assuming that you have not configured your iPhone as a WiFi hotspot and that the Infotainment system does not connect as a WLAN client. So what is a "personal hotspot" in relation to an iPhone? Does the head unit automatically 'connect' to the Huawei E8372 when you start the car? you don't have to manually connect. You can tether it when you plug it in to the USB port (with hotspot on and discoverable) and it will connect and continue working after you unplug. I think tethering via cable will also work as at some point yesterday, the globe was white but it didn't say WLAN next to it, and it still worked (this was with hotspotting turned off, because I was also using car play to try and get the OneSkoda app working, but more of that on a different thread...).

As a whole the only part of Car-Net I find useful (excluding in my case the very much used CarPlay) is the upload of destinations to the DNS satnav from the comfort of an armchair. Just went out to the car to try again, it came up with the 3G logo and the wee globe, and it's working!Yes - Of course iPhone connects via Bluetooth to DNS - EXCEPT when using Car-play. Which you don't have. And I do - why I said "how it works for me"! Your car can also connect to a mobile hotspot either on your phone, or via a usb "myfi" device that you can just leave plugged in if necessary. This will be fairly cheap and let you use all the car-net features including nav updates. Problems so far very few, found for some reason the USB cable was critical as connection to iPhone 5 occasionally crashed with a cheaper quality cable which charged fine, worked with data to laptop but was iffy with car-net. I mentioned that the Apple IOS car-net app works ok with basic functions, those being Destinations and Time Manager which are really clunky imo but do allow finding and upload of new destinations to DNS via server and basic route timings. With car play (or Android auto) you lose functionality on the instrument panel in front of the driver. It only works on the centre screen.
