WeConnect Deactivation

No more   ?DoorsClosed.  ?Bonnet/  ?Boot Closed, ? Lights off.

Seems little point having it other than fuel remaining and find-your-car-in - a car park..

Don’t think I’ve ever forgotten where  I parked my GTi or R.  Never Ever.

And I assume even for these features you have to pay the £70 (annual price..?)

I parked a previous car in a huge multi-storey at Gatwick once and forgot where. Took ages to find it. And I can't even blame being away for a week, it was only a few hours

A bit of progress today - called the VW helpline number and spoke to an honest (he stated the new App is nowhere near as intuitive as We Connect) and helpful (he explained exactly what’s happened).
Basically because I haven’t extended the Guide and Inform Basic the ‘No Contracts’ box was showing on the homepage but the Security & Service Basic is there, but just hidden. If all is locked, you see this:




If unlocked / doors open / lights on etc. you see this (I just left the windows open)



Car location is found by pressing the little arrow on the lower toolbar.

Still a step backwards from We Connect☹️

So you had to pay the £70 to reactivate? Is this a yearly fee or a one-off?

Security & Service + (the upgrade that provides the functions from my above post) is £55 pa.
