The availability of the App-Connect technolo-
gies is country-specific and may vary accord-
ing to the mobile device.

wagen website.
When you cross the border into coun-
tries that have different permitted ra-
dio frequencies than in your own country, op-
eration of the wireless function of App-Con-
nect may be restricted or may not be possible
at all due to legal requirements. This may be
indicated by a message displayed on the In-
fotainment system. App-Connect operation is
not affected by this restriction when connec-
ted by cable and App-Connect can still be
used in this case.

Setting up Wireless App-Connect
You must first pair the mobile device with the
Infotainment system to use Wireless App-
Connect. Proceed as follows:
Connecting the mobile device for the first
time
— Unlock the mobile device.
— Switch on Wi-Fi and Bluetooth® on the
mobile device.
— Connect the mobile device to the Infotain-
ment system using a USB cable or Blue-
tooth®.
— Open the
App-Connect
main menu if it does
not load automatically.
— Select the mobile device and the required
technology.
— Confirm authorisation prompts on the mo-
bile device to give the Infotainment sys-
tem the required permissions.
— Disconnect the USB and connect to the In-
fotainment system again using Wi-Fi or
Bluetooth®. Wireless App-Connect is set
up.
Pairing is complete. In future, the connected
mobile device will also be able to use Wire-
less App-Connect without a USB connection.
Wireless App-Connect will not be available if
you do not confirm the pop-up menus during
the connection process. In this case, Volks-
wagen recommends deleting the devices in
both the iOS and Android settings and on the
Infotainment system and restarting the con-
nection process.
Wireless App-Connect may not be sup-
ported by all technologies.
Applications (apps)
Volkswagen App-Connect allows content
from Volkswagen apps and third party apps
on mobile devices to be shown on the Info-
tainment system screen.
There may be problems with compatibility
with third-party apps.
Apps, their use, and the necessary mobile
network connection may be subject to charg-
es.
A wide range of apps may be available and
they may depend on the vehicle and country.
The content, scope and providers of apps can
vary. Some apps also depend on availability
of services offered by third parties.
We are unable to guarantee that the available
apps can be run on all mobile devices and all
operating systems.
The apps offered by Volkswagen can be
changed, discontinued, deactivated, reactiva-
ted and upgraded without prior notice.
In order to avoid distracting the driver, only
certified apps can be used when driving .
