Golf gti 8.5 network connection
« on: 30 September 2024, 19:30 »
Hi all,

Just picked up a new 8.5 but can’t get it to connect to the network at all either could the sales guy but said they don’t have much connection at their location and it should work when I get home but it’s still like this and I can’t use the VW app, any help would be appreciated thanks

Looks like you’re set to maximum privacy (the little guy icon with the hat, shades and trench coat) change that and you should be good.
