- I know there are a bunch of folks who say you can (and some who say you can't) use the PCM WiFi hotspot for Internet access. I don't see this as any real benefit cause my phone already has Internet access via its cellular connection. I don't need to put another piece in the middle. So, I really don't care about this as it seems to be pretty pointless.
- I know some folks who say you can (and some folks who say you can't) use it to stream Apply Carplay to the PCM. But I'm not an Apple User so this doesn't matter to me either...
- Is there something else I'm missing? Is there some other PCM-based advantage to linking your phone to the WiFi hotspot? I tried "transferring" a charger location from my phone (Porsche Connect App) to the Nav system but it would only work when the phone WASN'T connected to the car's hotspot.
I can't find any real reference to what it is supposed to provide in the GTK App. Does anyone know what benefit(s) it is supposed to provide?
