myVW Customer Insights

1. it does seem to accurately report the door lock status and will stop the Charging process remotely.Remote start with glitchy during the winter.

2. In 4 months of owning the vehicle, I have never been able to start charging or increase charge percentage from the app, or unlock/locking doors, open the trunk.

3. I have to verify my location with a paper every single time I try to remote start and I just get a command failed message that tells me no more than to contact the dealership.

4. It would be nice if I noticed when I'm in my office the doors are unlocked, I could remotely lock them.The app looks to have a lot of features, but only when it works.

5. App just constantly says the vehicle status cannot be refreshed.prior to my ID.4 I had a Sonata hybrid, the Hyundai Blue link app 11 years ago was much full featured.

6. One major feature that I miss from the Chevy app was the ability to lock and unlock the doors.

7. It is nice that it tracks data, but it prevents me from doing the things I need to do with it like remote unlocking the doors.

8. Window notifications we're annoying.. I would get so many that when I actually left my window open I didn't believe it and I ended up soaking my whole car with rainwater.

9. why bother with a second connection to Google maps? I can't relive the panic of being in a store and thinking I didn't lock my car.

10. It is delayed, won't allow remote start, I have to log in about every 3 to 5 days.

11. The push messages can't be changed...car keeps sending door, window and tailgate open/close texts even when toggled off.
