Introduction
The "Wi-Fi hotspot" function is not available in all countries and vehicles.
Some Infotainment systems can be used as a Wi-Fi hotspot for Internet access on up to eight Wi-Fi devices.
Some Infotainment systems can use the Wi-Fi hotspot on an external Wi-Fi device (Wi-Fi client).
A data connection is required for connecting to the Internet and for certain functions, such as using VW Car-Net.
The Wi-Fi connection is encrypted by default with WPA2 encryption for security reasons. Volkswagen recommends always using WPA2 encryption. Observe
legal regulations for the country where you are operating the vehicle.
There may be fees for the required data connection. Volkswagen recommends using a mobile phone plan with a flat rate data package due to the possible
volume of data. Information on this can be obtained from the mobile network provider.
Depending on your mobile data rate, additional costs, such as roaming fees, may result from downloading and using data plans online, especially in other
countries.
When crossing the border into countries with different permitted radio frequencies than your own country, use of the wireless function/the Wi-Fi must be
deactivated to comply with legal provisions. The wired functions are not affected by this restriction and can still be used.
