Tried to register with Car Net online but it won't accept my VIN. Does anyone know why not ?.
Notwithstanding that, I am confused as to the usefulness of Car Net and Volkswagen Connect. Are they linked, the same thing or what?. Are they linked in anyway to Android Auto, Waze etc or just superfluous techý addons ?. My sales representative never mentioned them nor did he give me a data plug.
:?: Basically "DO I
NEED EITHER CAR NET AND OR VW CONNECT?.
Also when I eventually paired my phone to the infotainment screen by Bluetooth, I tried to make a phone call but got a message on the phone to say I needed a 'code' obtainable from my VW sales rep. Again no mention of this on handover of the car. Why do I need a code from VW?.

PS
Just noticed the configurator has optional extras of:
a) Car-Net Guide & Inform * 3 year subscription
a) Car-net App-connect & VW Media ....... £0
b) Car-net with Secuity & Service ..........£350 but adding any of these options requires one to also add Discover Navigation etc for £780.
I assume therefore that to accept my VIN, Car-Net needed to have been added as an optional extra.
