If my question has been covered elsewhere, please give a link.
Like many others I have both We Connect and We Connect Plus free for three years from new. In my case this expires on 27/10/2025.
I do not use the VW navigation (also like many other who prefer Waze, Apple Maps, Google Maps, TomTom or whichever).
I have endeavored to understand:
1. What would either We Connect or We Connect Plus each would offer me if I renew?
2. What I would loose if I do not renew (i.e. are there still functional software updates for the Van?)
3. what would the annual costs be for each?
but have not been entirely successful. A search on this forum, google and the My Volkswagen with a lack of clarity in the results.
I asked Grok here:
On the face of it, the only thing that concerns is having continued software updates: " ....VW may provide critical software updates (e.g., for infotainment or safety systems) independently of We Connect, typically through a dealer or over-the-air (OTA) if your vehicle supports it." Can I assume these will continue OTA, which is what Grok appears to suggest?
What I am not concerned about is "... non-critical updates tied to We Connect services (e.g., navigation map updates)".
As to costs, has anyone got current prices for each are they still £69-129 per annum?
