Common problemVW We ConnectiPhone and Android app
VW We Connect app showing wrong car status
Doors, windows or position out of date
The app shows the last status the car sent. Volkswagen says connection errors can make the app differ from the real state of the car, and the parking position is only sent once the car is parked.
Fix it
How to fix it
Check the doors, windows and lights at the car itself if the app looks wrong.
Park and switch off the car so it can send its latest position.
Check the privacy settings on the infotainment screen allow the service, under "Manage services".
