Car-Net via Wi-Fi hotspot
Setting up an Internet connection via Wi-Fi in order to use Car-Net
Dear driver, Brief information about Volkswagen Car-Net
With the optionally available Volkswagen Car-Net, you arrive at your destination more
relaxed - and with greater reliability. The system is permanently updated via the Internet
and therefore uses the most current data. Searching for a parking space and
circumnavigating traffic jams is now becoming even easier.
Here you find out how and under what
requirements a Wi-Fi Internet connection to
your infotainment system can be set up in order
to be able to use Volkswagen
Car-Net.
However, this brochure does not describe all
functions and therefore cannot replace the
manual for the vehicle, which contains many
important disclosures and warning notices.
Frequently asked questions about Volkswagen
Car-Net can be found on the Volkswagen Car-
Net web page under the menu item
„Help/FAQ“.
The availability of Volkswagen Car-Net and its terms may vary depending on the vehicle
and country. Further information about Volkswagen Car-Net is available at
http://www.volkswagen.de/Car-Net and from your Volkswagen service partner and
information about your mobile tariff conditions from your mobile phone system provider.
