Introduction to the topic

You need an internet connection in your vehicle in order to use selected In-Car Apps or Streaming for the Internet

Radio. There are two options available to you for using internet in the vehicle: via the hotspot of a mobile device (e.g.

mobile telephone) or, depending on country and the vehicle equipment, via the vehicle’seSIM

(→ Wi-Fi).

Independently of how you establish the internet connection, whether via the hotspot of a mobile device or via the

vehicle’s eSIM

, you can use the Infotainment system as aWi-Fi hotspot for eight further mobile devices (→ Wi-Fi). This function is

dependent on the equipment level and is not available in all vehicles.

If you want to use the

for internet access, you must purchase data plans via the web shop of Volkswagen’s external mobile communications

partner.

You do not need any other data plans of the external mobile communications partner to use the mobile online

services if you have concluded a contract for use of the mobile online services.
