What is the activation method for SAIC Volkswagen Car-Net?
3 Answers
Activation method is to purchase a Volkswagen imported vehicle with Volkswagen Car-Net function, sign a service contract with Volkswagen importer, and the dealer will assist in completing the account opening procedures. After successful account opening, you can use Volkswagen Car-Net service. The specific activation steps follow the dealer's operation procedures, and you will receive SMS notification after successful activation. The following is extended information about Volkswagen Car-Net: 1. View related information: After activation, the owner can query relevant information about their vehicle, such as vehicle status (doors and lights), vehicle journey statistics (driving data). 2. Remote operation: The owner can perform remote operations on the vehicle, including remote honking and flashing, remote door unlocking, remote door locking, remote charging management, and remote air conditioning control. However, remote charging management and air conditioning control are for upcoming new energy models.
I often help my friends activate the SAIC Volkswagen Car-Net system, and the process is actually quite simple. First, make sure the vehicle is started, then locate the settings menu on the infotainment screen and select the Car-Net option. It will then prompt you to scan a QR code or manually bind a Volkswagen account. I usually scan it using the Volkswagen app on my phone. If you don’t have an account, just register one in the app, enter the vehicle’s VIN and the owner’s personal details, and the system will activate automatically within minutes. Once connected, the app allows remote control of the air conditioning to preheat the car—especially handy in winter—and even check the vehicle’s location to prevent theft. Just ensure the SIM card has strong signal. If the process gets stuck, simply restart the infotainment system or check the network connection. The whole experience feels like having a smart conversation with the car.
I just bought a SAIC Volkswagen, and the first-time activation of the car's connectivity system felt quite smooth. The main steps involve tapping the activation button on the infotainment screen, which then guides you through the process: entering your phone number to register or log in to your Volkswagen account, and binding the vehicle information—it takes about five to ten minutes to complete. The benefits include real-time monitoring of fuel consumption and maintenance reminders via the app, as well as automatic navigation updates for traffic conditions while driving. It's best to complete the activation inside the car to ensure a stable network connection. If any issues arise, check the app's help center or consult the sales advisor. The connectivity features make daily car use more convenient, and I recommend exploring the safety settings, such as the family location-sharing function, which is especially practical for commuting families.
