Wi-Fi initial setup
The Infotainment systems “Composition Media” and “Discover Media” can use two separate Wi-Fi nodes:
The Wi-Fi node of the Infotainment system for using Media Control.
Wi-Fi node of the control module for Internet access that is installed at the factory, depending on the vehicle equipment.
In order to use Media Control and online functions simultaneously, the following requirements must be fulfilled:
Your vehicle has been added to your VW Car-Net user account.
You have paid for a data plan for your vehicle.
The Wi-Fi nodes have been connected to each other.
Connecting WiFi nodes
1. Log in to the user account via the VW Car-Net app or the VW Car-Net portal and select the vehicle.
2. Search for the network name (SSID ) and select the network key (password) for the vehicle as follows:
In the portal, under User
Wi-Fi SSID and password.
Wi-Fi SSID & password.
Or: in the app, under User
3. Connect the Infotainment system's Wi-Fi node as a client to the control module's Wi-Fi node. To do this, use the SSID and the network key.
Following these steps allows the Infotainment system to run Media Control while also being connected to the Internet.
Upload and download speeds may be reduced and data transfer between devices connected to the Wi-Fi may be slower than normal for technical reasons.
1) Not available in all vehicle models.
Setting up and deactivating a Wi-Fi hotspot
The Infotainment system can be used as a Wi-Fi hotspot for Internet access on up to four Wi-Fi devices.
To connect to the Internet and, for instance, to be able to use VW Car-Net, a data connection is additionally required, for example via an internal eSIM card, a
CarStick or an external Wi-Fi device. The possible types of data connections depend on the country and the Infotainment system being used.
