Does the Volkswagen CC have remote start?

Volkswagen CC has the remote start function. There are three types of vehicles that have remote start functionality. Vehicles with built-in functionality: Original factory-installed remote start products are mostly found in high-end vehicles, but the technology is not yet mature. Some models may have it this year but lose the feature in next year's version. Modified vehicles: Aftermarket one-button start products were somewhat viable in previous years. However, due to the need for wire cutting, limited starting distance, susceptibility to signal interference, and messy installations, these products have low market acceptance. Using mobile signals: In recent two years, remote start products utilizing mobile signals have emerged. Since they use mobile signals, they offer stable connectivity without distance limitations, simple installation, and no wire cutting. These products currently represent the development trend of remote start technology.

I usually enjoy delving into new car technologies. Whether the Volkswagen CC has a remote start function depends on the specific version. In some newer Arteon models, which are the successors to the CC, Volkswagen offers remote start services through the Car-Net system. For example, some high-end models in the North American market support this feature. You can operate it via a mobile app to remotely start the engine for preheating or cooling, which is super convenient for adjusting the interior temperature in advance during winter or summer. However, it's important to note that this feature is usually not standard and requires purchasing an additional service package or optional package. If your car doesn't come with it from the factory or is too old, you might consider installing a third-party remote start module, but it's essential to have it professionally installed to avoid affecting the electrical safety. Overall, remote start is very user-friendly for daily commutes and can save a lot of waiting time.

As a driver with years of experience, my Volkswagen CC didn't come with factory remote start, so I later installed an aftermarket system. After experiencing this feature in the car, it's truly satisfying—getting into a warm car in winter and cooling it down with AC in summer. In the Volkswagen CC series, the high-end Arteon might support Car-Net remote control, but it depends on the model year and regional policies. Personally, I think if the factory didn't include it, spending some money on aftermarket accessories is worth it—installation is simple and doesn't take much time. Just remember to maintain it well to avoid electrical issues that could affect driving safety. During peak hours at red lights, this little tech feature is a real convenience—I highly recommend giving it a try!

My friend just bought a facelifted Volkswagen CC, and we were talking about remote start. Simply put, some newer Arteon models can perform remote starts via the Car-Net App—just a tap on the phone to preheat the car. However, older standard CC models don’t have this feature. A modification shop suggested adding a module to enable it, costing just a few hundred bucks. For daily driving, this feature is super practical, especially on snowy days when stepping into a warm car feels amazing.
