Tethering using an Android Phone

[mr black]

Has anyone been able to connect the WLAN on there head unit to Mobile Hotspot on an Android device?

I have been trying and can't get it working. I suspect it might be the security settings on the Wi-Fi (WPA2) and that VW might not be compatible.

There has been a lot of discussion on the Pommy Tiguan forum about this.

I do it everyday in my Superb, with no issues.
I turn on the hot-spot on the mobile, and the infotainment unit automatically connects to it.
I can also go the other way and turn on the car's hot-spot, and have the mobile connect to it.
Works with my HTC and Samsung mobiles.

My polo has this and connected to my iphone no worries. Issue is I have no idea what it's supposed to allow?
