Possibly activation with a code by VW, though not sure if this is something that exists. Isn’t it covered under your insurance with a small excess fee? Just checked with my insurer and it’s £75 for replacement and £25 for repair using Autoglass!yep all access went up to £75 when the front cameras started needing calibrations or so the windscreen fitted told meSo the excess was £75 for the screen to be replaced and calibrated?on mine yes, but they have to check your insurance to find out, and you need to take it to one of their centres as it can’t be done on the road,
