Remote Access

With Remote Access, your phone becomes your 
key to staying in sync with your Volkswagen. While remote features vary depending on whether 
you drive a gasoline model or electric vehicle, the convenience of connectivity is beautiful. Need 
to check if the doors are locked? Done. Want to unlock them for a friend? Tap. Forgot to lock the 
doors again? You’ve got this. If your vehicle is equipped with remote start, you can also start 
the engine before heading out right from the myVW app. There’s more. Misplaced your car in 
a crowded lot? Just pull up your last parked location and check how close you are by tapping 
here. As you move closer, the map will tell you if you’re on the right track. Or you can honk 
the horn and flash the headlights. Or do both! If you’re driving a gasoline model, 
you can also check your trip stats, and set up vehicle alerts to monitor speed 
and preset boundaries. You can even check for available parking, and if you have factory 
navigation, send the address to your vehicle. And if you’re driving an electric vehicle, 
you can search for charging stations too! EV owners can also start or stop charging, edit 
charging locations and pre-condition the cabin so it’s warmed up or cooled down before 
you even hit the road. The Remote Access plan duration depends on your model year. You 
can view your remaining time in the myVW app here. And once your plan’s up, if you want to 
continue using these remote features, you can purchase a subscription from the Shop tab. Your 
car. Your myVW app. A seamlessly connected duo.
