Night Heater and We Connect App

[Justinitus1972]

Does anyone know if the diesel night heater can be activated from the We Connect app? I know it can be programmed from the control panel to turn on and warm up the interior, but couldn’t find info about doing it via the phone app.

Don't have our Cali yet so unable to find out myself!

No it can’t. The app isn’t really useful for anything in practice.

Thank you for confirming. Would be a handy feature, probably not that hard for the VW app people to implement either!

That’s a negative.
The only good that the app has, is to unlock the doors.

You do get a funky little remote control for the heater to turn it on and off...

So you do, I’d forgotten about that. Thanks!

And if the remote as good as mine on a T5.1 it has a very good range if in line of sight.

You mean ’to lock the doors’ ? Used it twice when I forgot to close the cali and remote out of range.

I can lock and unlock mine from the app

of course but the advantage of the app is to lock the doors from a great distance (in case you forgot ) , unlocking I use my key when close to the car, never the app.
