Can I still connect to Alexa if my WiFi Hotspot is not active in my iDrive 7?

If you are using an iPhone device and do not have an active WiFi Plan or Trial Plan linked to your BMW WiFi Hotspot, make sure your Internet Connection is turned off within the vehicle. This can be done by going to Com > Mobile Devices > Internet hotspot.
