Technically the car will always have access to the internet. If you are referring to a web browser I don't see why you would want to use a web browser via idrive anyway, the whole process just sounds painful and a test of mental stability

Better off whipping out your phone.

This, I find it really hard typing a name on the iDrive controller to search maps or contacts, let alone browsing the web. But it's nice to have a wireless hotspot for those who don't have a data package in their cell phone.
