    Has anyone been able to set up the We Connect app to lock/unlock your Mk8 remotely?

    I've read some general info on the We Connect website that the User Account has to be verified to allow this, but it's not clear how to do this.

    Ive checked with my dealer today on the need for a data plug to go in the ODB port to enable smart phone connect.
    I know you register within your App your log on info (account) within the infotainment system itself, but it will not link up to create the profile of the new car as it does for Car Play.

    Think you are talking about VW Connect which requires a plug in dongle into the OBD port and a Bluetooth connection to your phone. This offers some of the same functionality as We Connect but it is different and all Mk8 have We Connect as standard using the built in data connection so no point in having the OBD dongle solution.

    By the looks of it ,you need to have digital key enabled, which is on the options list to enable lock/unlocking by smartphone.
