No moblile tracking to find my car

[Ozsko]

I don't understand all this stuff but when I first got my car it would sometimes "see" our home network when I drove in but it hasn't done it for a long time and I can't remember what the screen was set to. At that time I wondered if I could hook it up to the home network and load the Jukebox with music and audio books but I doubt it as it would have to appear as a drive on the network.

Yes, this is true, but MIB2 also has WLAN capabilities and can technically connect to the internet via a hotspot. I enabled all the various settings in VCDS to see if I could hack my way around it. It gets an IP and sends/receives data, I can even see it trying to talk to the vw car net service, but because our VIN's aren't in the database, the auth attempts get rejected.

It’s like the online games. No genuine key on the server no activation. No VIN no communications.

This is disheartening. We seem to get screwed over quite a bit with these sorts of things in Aus.
I was also sad to learn that the HUD was removed and we didn't get the option for the Dynaudio sound system.

My MY18 has access to the internet fire wireless access point either at home or via my mobile.

Google tells me the location I parked.

What am I missing out on?

An app on your phone connected to your car through the Internet.

Tells you everything about your car.

Remotes your car.

What’s the benefits? What does it tell me that I don’t already know?

Maybe I’m just old school (gen X) but I like my cars/bikes and driving/riding to be a separate experience from my mobile phone! Other than BT for hands free calls, I don’t use my phone in the car. And when I’m sitting on my couch, or out for dinner I really don’t want to be reading an app on my phone! Lol

Lol. So “just cause” then? 😛

I think a lot of this sort of thing is mostly gimmick for marketing. The younger gens all go “ah cool” when someone says “you’re always connected”.

I wonder how they’d handle no internet, phones and apps sometimes.

Man I sound like an old fart! Hahahaha
