Anyone else have the VW car-net app not working after the latest update I just wanted to see if I was the only one or if it was affecting others. It connects but shows no data and can use any features

it updated at 4am tonight and it's now has 3 whole functions.
Start Charging
Start Climate
Change Departure time.
Yikes! I used to be able to see if my doors were locked, no more.
Note : The Web version still allows Lock and Unlock
Did you try going to the web version first? I think there is something you have to agree to on it.shawner123 said:forbin404 said:Same here,

I'm jealous, all mine does is says is No Data Available, no matter what function I try. I found an old version of the app,but when I installed it just gave an error and brought me to the playstore to update. Anyone know of a place to get help other than giving the app a bad rating?

I spoke with car-net and they claimed lock and unlock were premium features that should have ended after 3 months.forbin404 said:Same here,

The nice lady said it was a "glitch" that we were able to do it until now (after the 3 month trial expired) and that it's also a glitch that the car-net website still allows the functionality to non-paid users.
:x
At least the update function which was on the door status page under remote was moved to the main page, so we can force updates more easily
They want $17.99/mo or $199.99 annually to re-enable this feature, BTW.

Give Verizon a few days to get it sorted out. That' s usually how long it takes for them to debug the app.
Since the previous post, I've had the same problem as you describe. Trying to force start a charge fixes it for me, at least while plugged in.shawner123 said:I am a subscriber to the service and the app is not working. It just says "no data available", even in the parts that are available to non subscribers

The car has a cell phone provider, and the app has a program in the car that provides data.shawner123 said:JoulesThief said:Give Verizon a few days to get it sorted out. That' s usually how long it takes for them to debug the app.
I don't have Verizon, and either way it is VW that developes the app not a cell phone provider

The Cellphone provider is Verizon, the company that developed the App appears to be a verizon sub.

Ugh.
Ouch! No more Android control of the car eh? That happened to me with my Fiat but that was because the provider (?) and the app maker changed and the old cars were left in the dust.shawner123 said:forbin404 said:Argh Shawner, now I see what you mean, today (after 2 days) I logged in the app, and POOF, no cars found.

Yeah it really sucks, being able to preheat or cool my car was the best feature of the car.
I did get this response from the app developer, apparently they do not support it:
"Sorry for inconvenience caused. I will send your request to customer support, as We no longer support this mobile application.
Thanks
