How to connect a Polestar 5 to Wi-Fi
Know the network name and password before opening the connection menu. Selecting the intended network avoids confusing a familiar name with a nearby hotspot.
Checked against the UK model-year 2026 Polestar 5 manual on 27 October 2026. Match the display and fitted equipment to your car before following these instructions. Optional comfort features may be absent.
Open top-bar settings → Settings → General → Internet, enable Wi-Fi, choose the network and press Connect. Enter its password and confirm Connect.
Before you start
Park and have the correct password ready. Use a network you are authorised to access; this procedure does not change the router or its security settings.

Check the result
The car connects when the details are accepted. If the attempt fails, check the network name and password before changing unrelated vehicle settings.
