App-Connect -> Connecting a mobile telephone with App-Connect for Your Volkswagen Polo SUV Seventh Generation (2021-2025)

In order to use App-Connect or App-Connect Wireless, you must connect the mobile telephone to the Infotainment system via App-  
Connect in the app overview. With App-Connect Wireless, the connection is initiated via Bluetooth® and then established via the Wi-  
Fi® hotspot of the Infotainment system.  
As long as a mobile telephone is connected via App-Connect, no other mobile telephones can be used via the Infotainment  
system, e.g. to make phone calls via the Bluetooth® mobile phone interface.  
If Apple CarPlay® is used, the Bluetooth® connection is terminated again as soon as the connection via the Wi-Fi hotspot of the  
Infotainment system has been set up.  
If Android Auto® is used, the Bluetooth® connection is maintained.
