Upgrades
Upgrades allows you to equip your Volkswagen with additional functions flexibly and at a later date. To purchase and use upgrades, you need a Volkswagen ID user account, a valid VW Connect or We Connect contract and your primary user credentials, i.e. the link between your user account and the specific vehicle. Your vehicle also needs to have the technical functions and hardware equipment required for the relevant product and may depend on the model year and production date. The upgrades available for the specific vehicle can be viewed and purchased by the primary user in the infotainment system In-Car Shop1 or in the Volkswagen Connect shop. Paid-for products can be purchased in the In-Car Shop and the Volkswagen Connect shop with the payment methods that are currently available and can be viewed there. Your Volkswagen dealership is also happy to advise on questions regarding upgrades and their availability. Purchased and activated functions remain with the vehicle, can be used by all drivers and cannot be transferred to other vehicles.
