Volkswagen of America announced smartwatch integration for myVW app users, giving customers quick, on-the-go access to essential vehicle functions directly from their watchOS or Wear OS smartwatches.
Available for most MY20+ ICE and electric vehicles enrolled in an applicable paid or included connected vehicle service plan, myVW brings together convenience, connectivity and control, allowing drivers to choose from plans like Remote Access, Safe & Secure and VW Vehicle Insights when users activate myVW+ through the myVW app.
With the addition of smartwatch support, myVW increases convenience, encourages daily app engagement, and reinforces Volkswagen’s commitment to deliver modern, connected mobility.
The new smartwatch compatibility includes available key functions such as Lock/Unlock, Honk & Flash, Vehicle Status, and Lock Status. Further, ICE models add Remote Start/Stop (if equipped) and Fuel Status, while EVs add Remote Charging, Charge Status, and Climate Start/Stop (if equipped).
To access these connected features using a compatible smartwatch, users must download the myVW app, accept the myVW Terms of Service, add their vehicle to the virtual garage (if not already present), accept the myVW+ Terms of Service, and subscribe to a paid or included Remote Access and VW Vehicle Insights plan.
