When you buy a new vehicle, you have the opportunity to use digital services from VW Connect (Plus), We Connect (Plus) or VW Connect (Basic / Navigation) for the free initial contract period. To use the VW Connect (Plus), We Connect (Plus) or VW Connect (Basic / Navigation) services, you must have a Volkswagen ID user account and need to log in with your username and password. Once the Volkswagen ID user account has been successfully set up and linked to your vehicle, you can use the vehicle-, country-, software- and equipment-specific digital services for an initial contract period free of charge. For this purpose, a separate VW Connect (Plus), We Connect (Plus) or VW Connect (Basic / Navigation) contract must be concluded with Volkswagen AG online at https://www.myvolkswagen.net or via the “Volkswagen” app (available in the App Store and Google Play Store). The actual length of the free contract period depends on when you activate the digital services. From the ninetieth day after initial delivery at the latest, the free initial contract period will begin to reduce automatically. You can view the exact contract period for your specific vehicle on myVolkswagen https://www.myvolkswagen.net.

Some We Connect / We Connect Plus or VW Connect / VW 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 We Connect and We Connect Plus or VW Connect and VW Connect Plus packages may vary by country. Availability also depends on vehicle model, equipment and software version installed. This also applies to third-party services. More information is available at https://connect.volkswagen.com and your Volkswagen dealership. Please also take note of the current Terms and Conditions for the digital services of the ID. family.

Additional equipment and accessories (attachments, tyre format, etc.) could change relevant vehicle parameters, such as weight, rolling resistance and aerodynamics. As well as weather and traffic conditions and personal driving style, these add-ons could also affect a vehicle’s fuel consumption, power consumption, CO2 emissions and performance.
