There's a bug with the DHCP server settings, a work around was published in the first report on the subject which you can do if you're willing to dive into the command line of your phone.

You can find it here:

Thanks. but it not help... I removed udhcpd.conf symlink from /etc folder, but my car still can't connect to the phone...
Also I tried to find the original location of this file (udhcpd.conf), but I can't find it (find / -name udhcpd.conf). File not exist...
Maybe you know where it should be and what a content of this file ? I can create it manually and test again..

@Keeper-of-the-Keys: The problem is wifi tethering, not the USB tethering. @schturman: If your tablet connects fine I would check the settings on your cars multimedia system, as clearly the phone seems to do what it should.

@Philippe De Swert, in the car you can't check nothing... you can insert password only.. And before system update the car connected ok to wifi..

@Philippe as far as I can tell this problem affects all 3 services that rely on DHCP: WiFi Tethering, USB Tethering and Developer mode, all 3 have ceased to work on my phone after removing the bad symlink all 3 started working again....
