Just got the same and have downloaded the 'new' app although it does almost exactly the same as the We Connect one - one bonus I can see is that on the map I can now see all of the local petrol stations with the most up to date petrol prices broken down into each grade! - not had that before but especially handy for v-power as the older pumps only show the price when you pick up the pump.

Could you see the locked / unlocked and windows closed / open function?

Yes you can still see the locked/unlocked status and open and close from the app.  The petrol prices on the map looks very good.  I've used the petrol prices app previously and having what appear to be recently updated prices in the VW app makes the PP app superfluous.

For the life of me, I couldn’t find - can you kindly tell me how you got it?

It's on the first page when you've logged in to the new VW app.   Are you sure you've got the right app?  It looks like this:

Don't forget you will only get many of these functions for as long as you are subscribed to them - most new owners get first three years free then unfortunately you have to cough up around £160 'ish to get the two parts active.

Once mine ran out I just couldn't justify buying both parts even though I really liked the functions.

You will still get many basic things without paying - health check, petrol prices (new), service info, car location, vin number but that's about it.

Enjoy while you have it.

That could well be the issue.  Do you seriously have to pay extra to get the ability to lock and unlock your car after 3 years?  The World has gone mad!

On my VW app it want me to verify my ID first to get the unlock function etc.

Well you certainly lose the driving data info and the sound horn function or to send POI to your cars map.

I think one is called Comfort and the other Security you pay for each separately.

Congratulations VW, probably the most clunky GUI’s ever. I think I will decline the kind offer to renew my subscription.

The new Volkswagen app is missing the ‘Vehicle Information’ box that we had with WeConnect, it was a nice easy to glance view with green ticks that showed you if the doors and boot was closed and if the windows were closed and also if the lights were off.

Also the auxiliary ventilation is missing, and this feature sounds good on paper, but as I’ve not had my car long enough to experience hot weather I’m not sure how well it works. . But nevertheless it is a function that we have today, but at the moment will lose in November.

I also prefer the WeConnect view of driving data, it is shown natively within the App, but with the new App it just becomes a web wrapper to log you into the VW website, and doesn’t really suit a phone screen.

Reading the reviews on the iOS App Store, quite a few comments on this being a step backwards from the current app, and I have to agree. I did email VW, but just got the standard response back that they will work on bringing some of these features to the new app, but no guarantees.
