Car-Net missing on Apple Watch

Hi guys! I'm doing the 6 month/ 3yr EV trial for the Car-Net service. I've seen many videos online that shows people using the app via their Apple Watch. For some reason, the app is not showing on my watch. Anyone having the same issues? I've tried restarting the watch and re-installing the app on my phone. Still no dice.

Nevermind. Just read the reviews in the app store and it looks like there is no watch support yet? I'm so confused. Lol.

Yeah, VW hyped Car-Net for Apple Watch early last year, but then never got around to releasing it. I'm guessing they realized how terrible the app was for iOS and decided to not waste time building out the Apple Watch version which would be even worse (given their track record.)

Hmm. Look what made it's way to Car-Net's latest update.

Way to get VW off their ass. Ok, ok, they probably already had it in review when you posted originally, but hey, at least we have it now.

It's Verizon, not VW, that provides the car-net telemetric services. Verizon looks like the idiots, so what else is new.

VZW handles the data, but do the make the apps too? That seems like it should fall under VWs umbrella, especially since it controls vehicle functions.
