What Is Volkswagen Car-Net?

VW Car-Net began with a simple idea: to connect drivers more closely with their vehicles. Over time, it has transformed into a comprehensive suite of features that keep you in touch with your car whether you're close to home or out exploring.

Car-Net Services

Volkswagen Car-Net offers a range of innovative features to enhance your daily drive. From added security to seamless connectivity, these services help you stay in control, wherever you are.

Remote Access

With Volkswagen Car-Net, you can control your vehicle from virtually anywhere. The range of features means you can remotely lock or unlock your doors, honk your horn, flash the lights, or even locate your car. During chilly mornings or sweltering summer days, you'll love how Remote Start lets you set your car's temperature before getting in.

Safe & Secure

When you activate Car-Net, you receive a complimentary Safe & Secure package that's valid for five years. This includes automatic crash notifications that alert emergency services if your airbags deploy. Press the in-car SOS button anytime to connect with emergency responders. Worried about theft? Anti-theft alerts notify you immediately if someone tampers with your car.

Family Guardian Alerts

Keep tabs on your vehicle even when someone else is driving. With customizable speed, curfew, boundary, and valet alerts, you're always informed about how and where your car is being used. It's perfect for monitoring teen drivers or ensuring peace of mind when lending your vehicle.

Parking Assistance

Finding parking in busy areas such as Rockville Centre is hassle-free with Car-Net's Parkopedia integration. Search for available parking spots near your destination and compare pricing and availability — all within the myVW app. The last parked location feature also helps you track down where you left your car.

Electric Vehicle Features

If you own a Volkswagen ID.4 or another electric model, Car-Net makes electric driving more straightforward than ever. Monitor battery status, set charging schedules, and remotely start or stop charging through your smartphone.

Volkswagen App-Connect Integration

Car-Net works hand in hand with VW App-Connect, letting you access apps such as navigation, music streaming, and hands-free calls directly through your infotainment system for seamless connectivity.
