Read moreWhat Is Volkswagen Car-Net and Why Does It Matter?
Modern Volkswagen vehicles are more connected than ever, and Car-Net is at the center of it all. Volkswagen Car-Net is a suite of connected services that integrates your car with your smartphone and the cloud—giving you control, safety, and convenience from anywhere. Whether you drive a Jetta, Tiguan, or ID.4, Car-Net transforms how you interact with your vehicle.
What Does Car-Net Include?
Volkswagen Car-Net is divided into three core categories:
1: Remote Access
Via the Car-Net mobile app, you can:
- Lock/unlock your doors remotely
- Start or stop the engine
- Locate your vehicle on a map
- View fuel levels, battery status (EVs), and maintenance reminders
This is especially helpful in winter—start your car from the warmth of your home—or when parking in busy lots.
2: Safety and Security Services
- Automatic crash notifications
- Emergency call assistance (SOS)
- Stolen vehicle locator and recovery
- Speed alerts and boundary notifications (ideal for teen drivers)
These services add peace of mind, whether you're concerned about theft, safety, or young drivers in the household.
3: Navigation and Infotainment Upgrades
For vehicles equipped with a navigation package, Car-Net enables features like:
- Real-time traffic and route updates
- Weather reports
- Voice-activated navigation via the infotainment screen
You’ll also benefit from Apple CarPlay™ and Android Auto™, wireless connectivity, and Over-The-Air software updates on select models.
Subscription and Availability
Car-Net comes standard for 5 years on most new Volkswagen models, with no charge for remote features during that period. Additional services like Wi-Fi hotspot capability and enhanced navigation features may be offered as optional upgrades.
Bottom Line:
Volkswagen Car-Net brings your vehicle into the digital age—offering unprecedented access, control, and safety from your phone or smartwatch. It’s convenience and connectivity, Volkswagen-style.
