Internet

I've got the "internet" option-meaning that I should be able to browse online on the nav, via my phone's connection.

How does this work?

I thought it was paired by BT, but the dealer seems fairly clueless-he says that the phone has to be connected by the USB cable-and that only iphones work?? Anyone know?

I have a Galaxy 2 S, incidentally.

Who needs a phone connected, not required in the UK, global internet when stopped.

Over here in The Colonies it piggybacks on the 3g.

This is interesting. I watched a CNET review of the 2011 X3 and they state that the internet option works without using your phone. They even pull the battery out of their phone during the review to prove that the internet wasn't using the phone. They did comment that it is really slow however.
