How it works

Your smartphone apps are transmitted to the display of the infotainment system and can therefore be comfortably and clearly controlled within your line of vision. That makes it incredibly easy to access music, news, maps or audiobooks, for example. Volkswagen offers two interfaces for connecting smartphones, with numerous options: Apple CarPlay and Android Auto by Google. The wireless connection option for the “Discover Media”, “Discover Pro” and “Ready 2 Discover” navigation systems also makes their use particularly convenient. To avoid distraction, only certified apps can be started during the journey. 

Volkswagen AG allows you to use Apple CarPlay and Android Auto. However, the country-specific availability of both technologies is the responsibility of Apple and Google.

To use the VW Connect and VW Connect Plus or We Connect and We Connect Plus services for the ID. family, you need a Volkswagen ID user account and need to log into VW Connect / VW Connect Plus or We Connect / We Connect Plus with your username and password. A separate VW Connect / VW Connect Plus or We Connect / We Connect Plus contract must also be concluded online with Volkswagen AG. After vehicle handover you have 90 days in which to register the vehicle at myvolkswagen.net or via the “Volkswagen” app and app (available in the App Store and Google Play Store) and use the VW Connect Plus / We Connect Plus services for the full duration of the agreed initial free period. If you register at a later date, the duration of the initial period will be reduced accordingly. You can view the exact period during the activation process or following activation on myvolkswagen.net. When the initial VW Connect Plus / We Connect Plus contract period has expired, this may be renewed for a fee.   Some VW Connect / VW Connect Plus or We Connect / We Connect Plus mobile online services can only be used via the “Volkswagen” app. A smartphone with a suitable iOS or Android operating system and SIM card with data option with an existing mobile data contract or one to be agreed separately between you and your mobile data provider is required to use the free app. Additional fees (for example, roaming charges) may arise when exchanging data on the Internet, depending on your particular mobile phone rate and especially when using the service abroad.  The mobile online services are available for the agreed contract period and may be subject to substantive changes during the contract period. The services included in the VW Connect and VW Connect Plus or We Connect and We Connect Plus packages may vary by country.
