Where is the QR code on the Volkswagen infotainment system?
2 Answers
The QR code on the infotainment system is generally located at the lower left corner of the front windshield. Below is relevant information about the infotainment system QR code: 1. The QR code contains license identification information such as the issuing authority, unique serial number, license plate number, as well as vehicle technical parameters and owner information, and can only be scanned by internal police equipment; 2. The QR code and other serial identifiers marked on the new license plate are unique. The unique production serial identifier on the license plate ensures the uniqueness and traceability of the plate, significantly enhancing the informatization and precision of detecting and combating counterfeit license plates and documents.
When I first got my Volkswagen, I also couldn't find the infotainment QR code and had to fumble around the screen to figure it out. It's usually in the settings menu, specifically under 'General' → 'About this unit'. First, tap the settings icon on the central display, scroll down to find the 'General' option, and then look for 'About this unit' or 'Device information'. Once you're in, you'll see the black-and-white square QR code. Some newer models might also display it under the 'Mobile Applications' option. If the screen doesn't show everything, try scrolling left or right a bit. Don't panic if you can't find it right away—just remember the car needs to be in the 'on' position, as the infotainment system automatically turns off when the engine is off. If all else fails, check the illustrations in the owner's manual in the glove compartment.
