Two minor annoyances

[Mutley75]

Two minor things that bug me - does anyone else get this or know how to resolve?

1. Every time I get in the car, after driving for about 3 minutes a message pops up saying something along the lines of ‘Welcome to CarNet’ and my name. I have to press OK to get rid of it. Can the message be disabled without disabling CarNet features?

2. Occasionally when locking the car, the Active Display remains lit and won’t turn off. I’ve waited several minutes and it stays on. The only way I can get it to switch off is by unlocking the car, open and close the drivers door then lock it again. It’ll then switch off as normal after about 5 seconds. This has only happened three times since I’ve had the car on 6th March but does anyone else get this from time to time? And if I left if indefinitely would it eventually switch off?

Bugger. That’ll just be me then!

Nope; I get no 2 sometimes, but possibly not quite the same.

Not even sure that it's not meant to do it? I've noticed since new that when it's dark outside and I get out and lock car, the AID will stay illuminated for quite a long time. I watched it once and it must have been 5 mins or more. Not sure if it does it every time though; I'll have a look later on.

Possibly - it is always dark, ie always in my garage where I’ve noticed it.  I just assumed it wasn’t meant to do it as I could unlock and re-lock to make it go off.

Re CarNet it may be because I set up a user profile. Don’t know why as I’m the only person who ever drives it. I’ll delete it and see if it goes away.

Not seen the carnet one but I don't often have it connected to a hot spot. Might be a recent change to the carnet service.

The aid thing... Yes.

[Mutley75]

It’s not connected to a hotspot. It pops up on the main display when I’m using CarPlay. I’ll delete the user profile later.

I have the CarNet message pop up but not every time. When it does make an appearance sometimes it’s immediate, other times after 5 minutes or more. Weird.

Be keen to get rid once and for all!

I think it comes up as soon as it gets a signal from your phone either via USB or Bluetooth connection judging by the fact mine always appears just as I drive into signal range. I live in an area with no signal unless it’s over WIFI calling. 2 miles from my house has 3/4G.

Its got to be when carnet connects back over the internet hasn't it?

Maybe that's an Apple funny... I have only Android.

It’s definitely a VW dialog and it’s not coming from CarPlay. I think it’s just verifying it’s connected, which is fine except it throws you out of Waze or whatever else you’re in, to display the message and it won’t go away until you press OK.

I didn’t delete the profile as it said Set up a new owner so I didn’t want to pi55 about with it after the agro I had getting it to register in the first place. I only use it to see how much fuel I have got left without having to go down to the garage. The MPG stats are useful too.

Anyway, didn’t work out how to disable the confirmation so unless anyone knows, I’ll have to live with it.

I also had the non turning off AID again tonight. I was sitting in the car, ignition off but radio on. As I got out I noticed the AID showing the into graphic like when you first switch on. Then it showed the dials. I locked the car and it stayed on for several minutes so I unlocked it again, opened and closed the drivers door then locked it once more. This time it switched off after 10 seconds. I used the fob to lock it but have had the same using keyless.

Weird..!  Not bothered as long as it doesn’t run my battery flat if I don’t happen to notice it stays on tho.
