Why is it that cars costing half as much can lead you to you car and tell you were you parked it and my VW cannot. Am i missing something?

Every part of the VW CarNET system is installed in your car, bar the sim card. Even then, it can use a wireless access point.
I have a feeling that VW disabled it in Australia because at the time, it was a very premium feature and it was one of a few features that set the new A4 apart (all be it that they charged extra for the feature).
VW are very slow to react to technological changes in AU, I doubt we will see it as an update in any of our cars, despite having everything for it to work.

There is no facility to plug a SIM card into the car unlike other countries which get that as a standard feature.
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.
