Application software (“apps”)

Please first read and note the introductory information and heed the WARNINGS

Many mobile devices are equipped to load application software (“apps”) into the device. Apps can
make it possible to display additional information on the factory-installed Radio or Navigation system
or activate, control or deactivate specific vehicle features.

Application software, its usage and the wireless connection required to use application software may
be billable services. Apps may be provided by third parties. Therefore you should refer to the terms of
use and privacy statements associated with the apps for information about how the apps collect, use
and share information about you, your vehicle or your mobile device.

The application software provided may be designed to be used for a variety of purposes and be spe-

cific to your vehicle and country

⇒ . The content, range of software provided and application soft-

ware provider can vary. Some application software is also subject to the availability of services provid-
ed by third parties. In order for some application software to work, wireless service reception must be
strong enough to handle the data exchange involved (text and data rates apply).

Application software descriptions may be provided by the service provider.

Due to the multitude of mobile devices and fast pace of software development, the application soft-
ware provided may not run on all mobile devices and their operating systems. This may even apply for
the same model of a mobile device. For example, application software may run on version 2 of the
device's operating system but not on version 3.

Application software can be modified, discontinued, deactivated, reactivated or expanded without any
further notice.

In order for some application software to work, the wireless or cable connection between the factory-
installed Radio or Navigation system and a compatible, functioning mobile device must be strong
enough and uninterrupted.

NOTICE

Volkswagen is not responsible for vehicle damage caused by inferior-quality or malicious
application software, poorly programmed application software, insufficient wireless service
reception, data loss during transmission or misuse of mobile devices.
