The cars WiFi search is unable to find not just my home WiFi but any Wifi other than my mobile phone.
I have Sensus and an onboard data sim which I have disconnected.
Anyone any ideas why the WiFi scan is not finding any of the more than 10 strong Wifi signals within 30 mtrs.

I know it’s no help but I have exactly the same problem, will not pick mine up either, even when I’m parked within 3 metres

Just checked this feature again. I have no problems. Possibly a need for your dealer’s tech guy to check it out? They can check it via their dealer WiFi router used when servicing.

It works in my car, but on the main display it only shows a weak signal. The router is only 4 meters away. With the windows open, it's much better. Seems like the car is searching for a wifi signal inside te car as if you are connecting it through your cell phone inside your car.
The road is more important than the destination.
