3. Open the list of available Bluetooth devices on the mobile telephone and select the Bluetooth device name of the Infotainment

system. In the factory settings, the Bluetooth® device name of the Infotainment system is “my VW” and the last four digits of the

VIN.

4. Observe the messages on the mobile telephone and Infotainment system and confirm as necessary.

If pairing was successful, the data of the mobile telephone will be stored in the user profile.

5. Optional: confirm message for data transfer on the mobile telephone.

As a general rule, it is only necessary to pair a mobile telephone once. The mobile telephone connection to the Infotainment

system via Bluetooth can be restored at any time without having to pair the mobile telephone again.

The extent to which the Infotainment system can be used to control the mobile telephone connected via Bluetooth depends

on the respective mobile device.

You can find more detailed information on using a mobile device via a Bluetooth connection in this owner’s manual .

Always switch off the warning and service tones on a connected mobile telephone, e.g. key tones, to prevent interference

noise and malfunctions.

Two options are available for using the internet in the vehicle.

—Via the hotspot of a mobile device, e.g. mobile telephone.

—Via the vehicle's eSIM (→ Wi-Fi).

The types of internet connections possible are dependent on the country and equipment and the Infotainment system used.

Depending on your mobile telephone tariff, using the hotspot of a mobile device may incur additional costs, e.g. roaming charges, for

loading and using data packages from the internet, especially if you use these services abroad. Due to the potentially high volume of

data in use, Volkswagen recommends using a mobile device tariff which includes a data flat rate. For more information contact your

mobile telephone provider.

If the eSIM is used, you must purchase data plans via the web shop of Volkswagen’s external mobile communications partner. However,

you do not need any data plans of the external mobile communications partner in order to use the mobile online services of

Volkswagen AG. This requires a contract for use of the mobile online services, which may be subject to a charge.

Irrespective 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 a Wi-Fi® hotspot for eight further mobile devices (→ Wi-Fi). This function is dependent on the

equipment level and is not available in all vehicles.
