Beat the Cold: Essential Winter Features of Your myVW App

Winter mornings become much more manageable when your Volkswagen is ready and waiting with a warm interior. The myVW app transforms your winter driving experience by putting control of your vehicle right at your fingertips, no matter where you are or how cold it gets outside.


Remote Start: Your Winter Morning Game-Changer


Say goodbye to stepping into a freezing car. With the myVW app's remote start feature, you can start your engine and activate the climate control system from the comfort of your home or office. The app lets you schedule regular remote starts, perfect for those early morning commutes when you want your car warmed up and ready to go at the same time each day. You can even integrate these commands with your Alexa device, making it as simple as saying "Alexa, start my Volkswagen" while you finish your morning coffee.


Winter Safety Features Through Car-Net


Winter driving conditions demand extra attention to safety, and the myVW app delivers peace of mind through Car-Net services. The system monitors your vehicle's health, particularly important during cold weather when various components face additional stress. If you encounter any winter driving emergencies, help is available 24/7 through the Car-Net Response Centre. The anti-theft alert system remains vigilant regardless of weather conditions, sending immediate notifications to your phone if any unusual activity is detected around your vehicle.


Location Services for Winter Navigation


Finding your car in a snow-covered parking lot becomes effortless with the Last Parked Location feature. The myVW app maintains a clear record of where you left your vehicle, guiding you back with precise directions. This proves especially valuable during snowfall when visual landmarks might be obscured. The app provides real-time updates about your vehicle's status, ensuring you stay informed about its condition even when winter weather keeps you indoors.


Cold Weather Vehicle Monitoring


Winter places unique demands on your vehicle, making the myVW app's monitoring capabilities particularly valuable. Check your battery status remotely before heading out into cold temperatures. When winter maintenance is due, schedule service appointments directly through the app with your preferred dealer. The comprehensive vehicle health reports help you stay ahead of potential cold-weather issues by providing early warning of systems that might need attention.


The myVW app transforms winter vehicle ownership by putting control and information at your fingertips. From ensuring a warm start to your day to maintaining your vehicle's health through the coldest months, the app serves as your constant connection to your Volkswagen. The included four-year subscription to Car-Net services means you can enjoy these winter-ready features without additional cost, making the seasonal transition smoother and more comfortable for you and your vehicle.
