Must enable sharing internet over bluetooth or USB in android settings.

It is off by default and you have to turn it on every time.

Looks like your provider or a company security setting is blocking this. I have an S4 and don't have any problems. I installed a tiny utility though that switches the Bluetooth tethering on when my phone connects to the car. It seemed that the setting was switched of after a certain period. Since then never had any problems.

How does this work ? It is only with command that you can use your phone to make your car connect to internet ?

Hi mate, can you please link the app? It drives me insane every time I have to turn it on manually.

I can't really get you a link but if you search Google play for "btauto tethering" you should find it. The developer is "m.takemi" (Japanese)
It has the simplest UI you can imagine. Just select the BT connection that needs to trigger the tethering. But it does what it needs to do.

Do you use wifi or bluetooth? It works when manually tethered to the usb
