The Must-Have Mobile App For Volkswagen Drivers In Lafayette

Jul 8, 2015

Have you ever been shopping and forgotten where you parked? With the Christmas season fast approaching, I’m sure we’ll see a few people aimlessly walking up and down the aisles of mall parking lots with the lost and helpless look on their face. We have all been there. Fortunately, we have a little tip for the Volkswagen community that will save you a little time and stress over the holidays.

Volkswagens come with a neat feature called VW Car-Net. VW Car-Net is a mobile app that gives you remote access to your Volkswagen through your phone. You can make sure your doors are locked, make sure your trunk and sunroof are closed, and if you have a convertible, make sure the top is up. You can also trigger an alert that makes the horn sound and the headlights flash, alerting you to your vehicle’s location.

In the app, select “Activate honk and flash.” The lights on the vehicle will flash five times and the horn will sound while the lights are flashing. Pretty neat, right? If you want to be a little less conspicuous about it, select “Activate flashers only” and the lights will flash five times without the horn blowing. This can also be done via your home computer from the “remote vehicle access” page, which you can click on from your Volkswagen homepage.
