I notice this as well, and what I did once was to stop the charging from within the VW app (but keep the car plugged in) and after a while the Octopus app managed to set up a charging schedule. I've only done it once though, as the charging schedule normally gets set up and charging is stopped withi...

Has anyone recently noticed the message in the VW app "Ready for vehicle software updates and more improvements?" Screenshot_20240817_145444_Volkswagen.jpg On clicking it, I'm then asked to log in and asked to give consent to the following: Performance of analyses Vehicle-related product m...

Looks like it's the car sending Car2X data even though it is in offline mode. There's a bit more information about it in the car's manual.

In winter, colder air is denser thereby increasing aerodynamic drag on your vehicle, especially when driving at motorway speeds and tyre pressure decreases in c...

Finally saw the new 'Coolwalk' interface kick in this morning, and it looks good so far. For anyone waiting, you'll need to update to Android Auto 8.8 as well as have Google enable the interface for you in their back end servers. They've been doing a phased roll out so if you don't see it yet, you'l...
