We Connect for Your Volkswagen California Van Fourth Generation (2024-2025)

Introduction to mobile online services  
Mobile online services, referred to below as services, allow you to connect your vehicle to the internet. This makes it  
possible for you to extend the scope of various services. A description of all available services can be found on the  
internet at:  
vwn.de/we-connect  
You can find the myVolkswagen customer area on the internet at:  
vwn.de/myVolkswagen  
Prior to use, We Connect has to be activated online by concluding aWe Connect contract with Volkswagen AG. The  
contract is subject to a country-dependent period of validity.  
Both the service portfolios offered by Volkswagen AG and individual services may be changed, discontinued,  
deactivated, reactivated, renamed and expanded without further notice.  
The provision and availability of services and service portfolios can vary from country to country and depend on the  
vehicle and vehicle equipment.  
In areas with insufficient mobile telephone and  
GPS  
reception, no emergency calls and phone calls can be made and no data can be transmitted.  
Observe the warnings in the chapter .  
Volkswagen AG is not responsible for damage to the vehicle caused by poor-quality or faulty third-party apps,  
inadequate programming of third-party apps, insufficient network strength, data loss, misuse of mobile  
devices, or malware on data media, computers, tablets and mobile telephones.  
You can find an overview of the services activated for you and their duration in your user  
account.  
Execution of services using the app can consume data and cause costs. The transmission speed will be reduced if the  
contractually agreed data volume is exceeded, and this can cause delays in execution of the services.  
327  
Data processing  
Applies in EU countries where the General Data Protection Regulation of the European Union is valid:  
When using services, information about the vehicle is transmitted and processed online. This data may also indirectly  
provide information about the respective driver, such as their driving behaviour. The privacy policy for the use of  
Volkswagen AG’s mobile online services can be found in the Infotainment system under MENU Legal or HOME  
Legal.  
Permanent transfer of the vehicle  
If you purchased the vehicle second-hand or another person has transferred it to you for permanent use, mobile  
online services may already be activated and the previous user may still be able to view collected data and control  
certain vehicle functions via the mobile online services and control some functions of your vehicle.  
In the Infotainment system you can see whether a person is assigned to your vehicle as the primary user. In this case,  
you can register yourself as the primary user for the vehicle and automatically remove the previous primary user.  
Alternatively, you can permanently delete the previous user as the primary user in the Infotainment system. You can  
also set the vehicle to offline mode to restrict your vehicle’s communication with the Volkswagen AG data server and  
to limit processing of vehicle-related and personal data.  
328  
Prerequisites for using the services  
In order to be able to use the full scope of the services, the following prerequisites must be met.  
We Connect was also ordered for the vehicle and has been installed at the factory.  
The vehicle and user are located in the area covered by the services.  
Data transmission is possible without restrictions at the location of the user and vehicle.  
The mobile telephone is compatible with the app.  
The privacy settings in the Infotainment system permit data transmission by the services.  
The settings in the mobile telephone permit data transmission by the services.  
A personal user account,Volkswagen ID, has been set up (→ Volkswagen ID).  
There is a valid contract for use of the services.  
A vehicle has been added to the user account (→ Vehicle management).  
Neither the online connectivity unit nor individual services are deactivated or decommissioned.  
Certain technologies that are operated by third parties and provided to Volkswagen AG are available. Volkswagen  
AG is not responsible if these technologies are terminated, discontinued or deactivated during the service life of  
the vehicle.  
WARNING  
Using apps, services and functions while the vehicle is in motion can distract you from the road. Serious accidents  
and fatal injuries can occur if the driver is distracted.  
Always drive with your full attention and responsibly.  
Only use apps, services and functions when the vehicle is stationary.  
WARNING  
Using services without due care or unsupervised can result in the serious injury or even death of people in and  
around the vehicle, e.g. if they are locked inside the vehicle unintentionally.  
Always carry out the services carefully and responsibly.  
The vehicle added in the user account must first be driven for a few kilometres before individual services can  
record, transmit and display correct data.  
Do not disclose your login data, password, registration code orS-  
PIN  
to others and keep them safe to ensure that nobody else can access or view them.  
Change your password at regular  
intervals.  
329  
Interference  
Even when the above-mentioned requirements for using the services are met, the functionality of the services can be  
impaired or interrupted due to factors that lie outside the control of Volkswagen AG. Such factors include in  
particular:  
Maintenance, repairs, deactivation, over-the-air updates and technical changes to your service provider’s  
telecommunication systems, satellites, servers and databases.  
The telecommunications provider has changed the mobile telecommunication standard for transferring mobile  
data, e.g. from LTE  
or UMTS to EDGE or GPRS.  
An existing mobile telecommunications standard has been switched off by the telecommunications provider.  
Disturbance, interference or interruption of mobile andGPS  
reception, e.g. due to high speeds, weather, landscape, interfering devices or intensive use of the mobile network  
in the relevant cells.  
If your current location is in an area with no or insufficient mobile communications andGPS  
reception. This can also include tunnels, streets with tall buildings, garages, car parks, underpasses, mountains and  
valleys.  
Restricted availability, completeness or correctness of information provided by third parties, e.g. maps.  
Countries, federal states and regions where mobile online services are not available.  
330

Description of user roles  
Primary user  
The “primary user” role is intended for the vehicle keeper or for a vehicle user who has not only temporary  
authorisation (e.g. a lessee or company car driver). The primary user has unrestricted rights and can assign  
additional rights to other users of the vehicle by inviting them as secondary users. If a new primary user legitimises  
themselves for the vehicle, the previous primary user will automatically lose their primary user role.  
Secondary users  
The “secondary user” role is intended for users who use the vehicle regularly and want to save the vehicle settings  
in a personal user account. Secondary users can use mobile online services. Secondary users are assigned by the  
primary user: the primary user must invite the secondary user to use the vehicle. The primary user can delete  
secondary users at any time.  
Guest users  
The “Guest user” user role is intended for users who use a vehicle occasionally or only once. Guest users can log in  
themselves in every vehicle with service capability and involvement of the primary user is not necessary. Every  
vehicle user can delete the guest user in the vehicle at any time. The guest user has only restricted access to certain  
services.  
Anonymous guest  
The “Anonymous guest” user role is a non person-specific account that exists locally in the vehicle and cannot be  
synchronised with the server. The “Anonymous guest” user role is intended for anonymous users. These are  
persons who have access to the vehicle but do not log in. There is only one anonymous guest account in vehicles  
with online personalisation, and it cannot be deleted. If the “Anonymous guest” user role is activated in the vehicle,  
all users logged into the vehicle will be logged out temporarily.

Introduction  
The personalisation function allows personalised vehicle settings, e.g. for the air conditioning system, to be saved in  
your user account. User identification takes place when logging into the Infotainment system. Changes to the  
settings are assigned to the user account active in the vehicle and are automatically saved online in the user account  
via an existing internet connection.  
346  
Personalised vehicle settings  
The vehicle functions that can be configured depend on the equipment level. Some personalisable functions are not  
stored online, but are only assigned to the user account locally in the vehicle.  
This is the maximum possible range of functions. Not all vehicle functions are available in all vehicles and countries.  
The following functions can be personalised:  
Settings for single door unlocking, convenience opening and windows.  
Wiper settings.  
Seat settings.  
Settings for daytime running lights and convenience turn signal, switch-on times of dipped beam.  
Air conditioning system settings.

347  
Synchronising vehicle settings  
Vehicle settings changed in the vehicle are automatically assigned to the active user account and are stored online on  
a cyclical basis. The vehicle settings are also automatically synchronised with the data stored online in the following  
situations when an Internet connection has been established:  
When switching on the ignition and the Infotainment system: all recently used user accounts stored in the vehicle  
are synchronised.  
When changing to another user account: the newly activated and the now deactivated user account are  
synchronised.  
At the end of the journey and when the ignition is switched off: the last active user account is synchronised.  
You can also start the synchronisation manually in the user administration menu, e.g. if automatic synchronisation  
fails when logging in. Synchronisation cannot take place automatically if the online status of the vehicle is impaired,  
e.g. in underground garages, or if you have activated “Offline mode”.  
If an inactive user account is active in another vehicle and settings are synchronised from there, these  
settings are also transferred to your vehicle and assigned to the corresponding user account.
