Introduction to the topic
The pairing is complete. The connected mobile
wireless device can now also use Wireless App-
Connect without the USB connection.
With App-Connect it is possible to display and use the
contents and functions displayed on the mobile phone
device on the infotainment screen.
If the pop-up menus are rejected during the
connection process, Wireless App-Connect will not be
available. In this case, Volkswagen recommends
deleting the devices in both the iP hone settings and
infotainment, and restarting the connection process.
For this, the mobile wireless device must be connected
via a USB interface to the infotainment.
Some technologies can also be used by Wireless App-
Connect via the Blue tooth interface and a Wi-Fi
connection.
Wireless App-Connect may not be compatible
with all technologies.
The following technologies may be available:
