I expect the single device limitation in AP mode will be going away.
Aha.... I bet that has something to do with the currently un-implemented button...

I would prefer to leverage my iPhone or iPad's internet connections while connected to HEX-NET.

I just wish it didn't require me to switch from my cell's data plan to attach to HEX-NET via wifi.
Speculating about the [Remote Control]
Then it wouldn't be a HEX-NET; it would be just another relatively dumb wireless device.HEX-NET would be so much easier to use if it utilized bluetooth instead of wi-fi.
Huh? It only takes one press of the button on the HEX-NET to toggle between AP mode and Infrastructure. In Infrastructure, it will try to connect to any networks you've configured, in the (re-arrangeable) order you see them in profiles 2-8.I would prefer to leverage my iPhone or iPad's internet connections while connected to HEX-NET. It's annoying to have to toggle between AP mode and whichever wifi SSID is closest to me to utilize the cloud funtions. I end up using my laptop to connect via USB to run the wifi configuration tool when I'm not in the same location as the last time I connected. If I already have the laptop out, why even bother with the mobile app? Doesn't that defeat the whole purpose?
Does your phone not have hotspot capability?Anyway, I dig the mobile app concept. I just wish it didn't require me to switch from my cell's data plan to attach to HEX-NET via wifi. It really limits the entire mobile concept.

I can't think of a scenario where Bluetooth connectivity would be a limiting factor.
Why not offer both and let the customer choose?
But I still think the right way to use the device is with the OBD-II extension cable. Putting it somewhere that it's visible means it's unlikely to be forgotten and it also avoids this:
I had left that one in our Touareg; drove to the airport, pulled into a parking space, then stomped on the old-school parking brake pedal in the 7L chassis. CRUNCH. Oops. I've been using extensions ever since.
Probably. Post up a picture.I did the same thing in my Touareg with the same result but mine is a cable not WiFi. Can it be fixed?
Looks like you just need the outer part of the nose. That's fairly easy. Please send that pic to Support@... and they'll get you taken care of.Thanks for them response Uwe. I own three VAG vehicles and use the VCDS cable quite often and in its current state, it is difficult to connect.
This is what I did to remind me:
