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 addi-
tional 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 specific to your vehicle and country

⇒ .

The content, range of software provided and application software
provider can vary. Some application software is also subject to the
availability of services provided 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 pro-
vider.
Due to the multitude of mobile devices and fast pace of software de-
velopment, the application software provided may not run on all mo-
bile 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 ver-
sion 3.
Application software can be modified, discontinued, deactivated, re-
activated 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 pro-
grammed application software, insufficient wireless service re-
ception, data loss during transmission or misuse of mobile de-
vices.
