2 Answers
Volkswagen Lavida does not support mobile phone start. Introduction to remote start: Remote start refers to the ability to start the engine or motor remotely via the remote key. If the Lavida is equipped with a remote start function, it can start the engine upon receiving a signal from the remote key, featuring high reliability, ease of use, automatic timing, and whole-car heating. Can be connected to a mobile phone: On the mobile phone, open Settings - Bluetooth. For the first-time connection, find the device starting with 'VW' under Other Devices and click to connect. If it is not the first time connecting, the phone will automatically connect when Bluetooth is turned on.
I've driven several Volkswagen Lavida models, and the remote engine start via smartphone isn't available on all variants. Generally, older base models might not support it, but newer high-end versions equipped with Volkswagen's Connect intelligent system can indeed remotely start the engine through a mobile app. This feature is particularly useful in winter for preheating the car and turning on the air conditioning, and it can also cool the car in summer. To use it, you'll need to download Volkswagen's app, set up your account and connected car services, and possibly pay a small monthly fee. Before purchasing, it's advisable to check the official website's specifications or ask the 4S store salesperson for details. Don't underestimate this feature—many car owners have grown accustomed to it as it saves time and enhances convenience. Just ensure your phone has a stable signal, as it won't work without an internet connection. Overall, as a family sedan, the Lavida is gradually upgrading its smart features, which may become more widespread in the future.
