BMW Connected Drive Internet Browser

My 2014 235i have Prem & Tech Package and I also have access to BMW Online and BMW Apps. However, I recently found out that BMW have a internet browser options so I proceed to call BMW Assist to find out why I don't have it. I read you do have to call them to activate it (I called previously to activate my BMW remote via iPhone app). However to my dismay, they told me that I do not have the option installed? I check back again on the website and there is no such option on there for a BMW internet browser other than BMW online which I already have.

I guess my question is, do anyone out there with tech package do have the internet browser function??

In the UK Internet services must be ordered as part of the car and after 1 year is chargeable. Even if the required hardware is present ( http://www.bmw.com/com/en/owners/con...formation.html ) BMW state they have no ability to record it against the vehicle VIN so you can't buy it. They did say that the situation may change when their "new system is implemented"

Mine has the browser, its a cool trick to show passengers Google's homepage but too cumbersome to use. Everyone has a smart phone, so its pretty useless.

Long story short, you aren't missing out on much.

I have the browser but haven't really spent any time with it yet. I've just recently started toying with the apps like pandora,laptimer and such...I always just jump in my car and go. Need to take some time one day and actually tinker with everything..
