WeConnect Deactivation
« on: 05 October 2023, 10:11 »
Morning all.  I’m not sure how many people still use the WeConnect app, but as of 8/11/23 you’ll no longer be able to use it.  I received an email fro VW this morning informing me it will be deactivated from that date.

Looks like we’ll all need to use the Volkswagen app, despite it not being as good 😏

Tells me it’s locked and safe and that’s about it. Tracker / immobiliser gives much more useful data.

Not much really, dip into fuel stats every now and again.  Checking if it locked maybe.

 Other than that just letting people know……

Same here, I’d rather look at it than look for it. Also got the message yesterday.

Just downloaded the new app from the email, the one area of functionality that I use (locked status / windows & doors closed etc.) is N/a (unless it’s me being a bit thick which is not unknown)
Called the VW contact number and was told functionality is still being added (sounded a scripted answer tbh).
Time will tell……..

Had the same email myself today but also had a bit of passive aggression from we connect a few weeks ago ordering me to “upgrade” to the new Volkswagen app.
Several weeks on and I’m still of the same opinion, we connect is a much more attractive looking app and easier to navigate quickly.
I’m sure the newer app has most of the same info but it seems like it’s primarily focussed on EV’s and isn’t as nicely presented.
Me no like.
