"Connect to wifi to download an update" is such a frustratingly stupid feature in a vehicle. It's a car, dammit. It's parked outside. I'm not going to buy a wifi repeater just so my in-house wifi is reachable from the driveway. Just use your own connection -- pretty sure I download more data monthly via streaming radio than the size of that software update.

@monsieuricon i found out my Android phone can work as a hotspot while being itself connected to WiFi, could act as a repeater?

@ljs @monsieuricon it's a moto g100 with stock vendor Android 12, found out by accident and surprise, seems to be chipset feature, so either it can do that or can't be helped.

@vbabka Yes, that's literally what I've been doing, but it also means I have to sit here downstairs without my phone for hours, making grumpy noises about it on social media.

@vbabka no idea, it's not showing me the transfer rate. Just 57% for the past few hours.
