remote locking/unlocking
Where do you have that option in the App?

I had that on my previous car, and used the feature quite a bit, but in my We-Connect it's not there and I thought I had the latest version... 

:undecided:

I am honoured to help you :smiley: :smiley: - normally it (advice) is the other way round! - the default option is under the "vehicle" tab of the app

 - you probably know that - and then I went through the vw id process (cant find that part of app now though  :angry:) to actually enable it - it does work as I have tried it to test it
Thanks - I've finally found the reason why I have everything else but don't have the ability to unlock/lock via the app. The reason was buried in the small print on the VW website...

"This service is available in vehicles with the "Security & Service" service, for models ordered on or after 1 January 2019."

... which is why you get the > by the unlock that allows you to go to another screen, and I don't:



For those asking why you would use/need it. I used it (on my old car) when I was meeting my partner and the kids. She would meet me after work where I'd parked the car. She would drop me a text when she arrived and I unlocked the car so she could get in, very handy when it was raining! It saved her having to carry around my spare key. I also used it when I was meeting friends at the car and they arrived there before me.

This is exactly the reason why these forums are so great - if we don't know something, someone somewhere does!

I was given the chassis number of my incoming TCR today and went onto the We Connect thing to add the car. It then asked about subscribing to free things but the start date was obviously going to be today. What difference does it make waiting for the car to actually turn up?

If you register now, do you get to find out if the Tyne Dock drivers are ragging your car after unloading it, or you get to unlock and relocate the car repeatedly while it's having its PDI, as if it's possessed?  :grin:
Whey ya bugger! It's finally arrived after an 8 month wait....

Yes, as per my earlier post! Not sure that’s good or bad though?

does it make any difference registering now though before the car has arrived? It says about starting the contract now.
