Why can't the Volkswagen dash cam connect to WiFi?
2 Answers
Volkswagen dash cam may fail to connect to WiFi because the WLAN settings on your phone cannot detect the dash cam's WiFi hotspot or the WiFi permission in the mobile app is not enabled. Here is an introduction to the Volkswagen dash cam: 1. The SAIC Volkswagen dash cam is compatible with all SAIC Volkswagen models, featuring rich and practical functions, easy installation, and simple operation. Once connected to a mobile phone, you can view and download videos, as well as configure and update the dash cam settings via the phone; 2. Connection issues may arise due to improper operation or incorrect software download.
I recently drove a Volkswagen and also encountered the issue of the dash cam not connecting to WiFi. First, check if the dash cam and your phone are on the same WiFi network—if the distance is too far or the signal is weak, the connection may drop. Incorrect password input is another common issue, so make sure you’ve entered it correctly without accidentally deleting letters. If these aren’t the problem, try restarting both the dash cam and your phone; I’ve fixed it this way several times. If that still doesn’t work, consider updating the dash cam’s firmware or the app version, as older versions often have compatibility issues leading to malfunctions. Sometimes, router settings can block the connection, so try switching to a different WiFi hotspot for testing. If none of the above works, it might be a hardware issue—like a faulty WiFi module—requiring a visit to the 4S shop for repairs. Don’t ignore this problem, as a failed connection while driving can affect video recording and safety monitoring. Regularly checking the settings can help avoid such hassles.
