To be honest, I didn’t realise all services ceased at the end of the three years. I still expected to be able to check how much petrol I’ve got in the car or if I turn the lights on and off. I thought the service was for the online items and aspects such as emergency contact, map, updates, et cetera.

Just had a look and it’s quite a cost for what he’s pretty limited functionality.

Don’t think I’ll bother with it, but at the same time, it’s a bit of a shame to lose a few functions that you only use once in a while.

It's not something I'd thought about either.

But as I'm now thinking of keeping my car for a 4th year (I'll pay for an extended warranty too) how much did they quote for an extra year of We Connect?

Probably more fun is that ultimately the whole thing will stop working because VW give up supporting it or the built in E-Sim simply stops working because the mobile network is obsolete.

Going forward this sort of thing is more likely to end your car than mechanical failure.
