GOLF 8 GTI
Hi I am new to this forum so apologise in advance if this has been covered, did a search but couldn't find the answer.

I have just got a new Golf GTI and have paid for a month of Data to use things like internet radio etc. All works ok but then i see it suggested that if you have a decent data plan with your own phone you can tether that rather than pay Cubic an extortionate amount for the same.
I have spent ages trying to play with the data section in settings but cannot make it see my phones hotspot.
Is this function still available, the we connect page on the VW website says it is but as i said it just won't see my phones hot spot to tether.

Any help would be really appreciated.

MK8 Golf have you tried in the specific MK8 Golf forum??


I have no real first hand experience on those items, but I see no reason why you shouldn't be able to use just your smart phone......the car just acts a relay aerial & display for your phone. Might be able to find more help on the UK Skoda forum (Briskoda) in the MK4 Octavia section as its the same car..
