My Volkswagen Connect can be swiftly accessed by plugging the dongle to the on-board diagnostics (OBD) port of the car. It can be downloaded on any smartphone and paired to any Android or iOS device post a secure OTP exchange on the registered mobile number. The My Volkswagen Connect app connects the customer with their vehicle and analyses an individual’s driving style which includes speed, braking behavior, coolant temperature, acceleration, and the RPM. The app also enables customers to locate points of interest and to reach out to customer care or Road Side Assistance, in case of emergencies. Additionally, they can also use the app to scan, upload, and store important vehicular or related official documents. Customers can also use the app to set renewal reminders for vehicle insurance and receive ‘over the air’ (OTA) software updates.

Today, we introduced the upgraded ‘My Volkswagen Connect’ app that offers customer convenience and safety at their fingertips. Customers will have access to real-time vehicle analysis and assistance that would make them aware of their vehicle condition, driving patterns, and enhance the overall fun-to-drive experience that a Volkswagen stands for.”
