Slow Internet
I have a 2012 Coupe, after updating my bluetooth software my internet finally works for the first time since I got the car, the only issue is that its extremely slow.
Using iPhone4s - on my phone internet speeds are fast (3G) and websites opens quickly - but from the idrive its extremely slow. Any ideas on what it could be? I think I read somewhere that the idrive only makes use of EDGE and not 3G - is that correct? |

Yes, the internet in the car is slow. It's just how it is. No way around it that I'm aware of.

If you're bluetooth tethering off of the iPhone, I think you're limited to 512kbits/sec. Much faster from the phone for sure.
If you're using assist with the convenience plan it's slightly slower than that.

Wow.. the internet of the old days...
It's a limitation of either the CIC or the Combox/TCU.
