I have to admit I don't understand why the car has wifi you cant connect to the cars sim which seems only to allow data for the TomTom Live service and allows the use of SOS and Peugeot connect. I can tether my phone to the cars wifi I have no idea of the point in doing this as it doesn't seem to let me do anything. Possibly a firmware update will unlock other features or allow updating the firmware and maps but these are such big files 8GB for the map alone I cant see this happening. Could be an idea in development that will never see the light of day. I don't know and cant find the answers, I have looked before.

Even it we did connect the car to our home WIFI there still isn't anything we can do with it in the car. I have my cable router in modem mode and use a separate router and route all my traffic through a VPN
It's the Tesla method I thought, enabling software updates apparently.
Surely it's the future and I wouldn't complain about Peugeot being up with the times, if that is the case.
The updated version of my TomTom updates speed cameras via your home WiFi, so, if you need to do that to your inbuilt one, how else can you do that other than your home system?.
I'd be hoping there will be a way of getting my current quarterly map updates for the car's that way too.

Wi-Fi clarification
As i own a Nissan Qushqai ( which is going soon 3008 on the way end of May ) when the data is switched on my phone and the Nissan connect app is on my phone which is connected via Bluetooth to my car , i can then use the apps on the QQ , like search etc , i can speak to the car , saying something like " Biggles Hotel " it will then come up with the option of taking me there via satnav or calling the hotel , i can also see my Twitter account Facebook and Google online search , this is what i am really asking about , can the Peugeot 3008 system do things like that ??..sory for the confusion !!

apps
There may be no apps on it , but from what i have found you can use some of the apps via your phone using the Mirror Screen .....now a bit of understanding !!
MirrorLink turns the promise of the connected car into reality. Simply connect any MirrorLink-enabled smartphone to any MirrorLink-enabled vehicle, and take advantage of easier and more responsible access to navigation, music and phone apps while you drive. The apps run on the smartphone, but you see them on the dashboard display and hear the audio via the car's speakers.
With MirrorLink, huge icons make apps easy to use and you can control navigation, music and more as easily as turning on a blinker. Designed for maximum interoperability between a wide range of cars and smartphones, MirrorLink makes connected driving easier, safer and more enjoyable.
MirrorLink is the leading industry standard for car-smartphone connectivity. It is already available on more cars and smartphones around the world than any other method of connectivity.
