Hab’s aufgegeben. Die Idee, das fzg per App fernzubedienen ist gut, besser vmtl mit Bluetooth umsetzbar. App UI wirkt veraltet, warum gebe ich zB meine VIN und fzgtyp an wenn ich in der App nur einen Standard VW Bus dargestellt bekomme? Bei der Bedienungsanleitung (eigentlich nur ein PDF der gedruckten Anleitung) muss ich selber die genaue Ausstattung kennen - ihr kennt doch mein Auto??? ### 2/5 — Fahrzeug entriegeln klappt nur sporadisch *2026-02-19* An sich ist die App ja ganz gut, aber eine der für mich wichtigsten Funktionen wie das Fahrzeug entriegeln und verriegeln klappt fast gar nicht. Und wenn dauert es unfassbar lange im See dauert die Synchronisierung des Fahrzeugs sehr sehr lange, was fast schon nicht alltagstauglich. **Developer response:** Hallo Flip1624, es tut uns leid, dass Probleme bei der Verwendung der Cali on Tour App aufgetreten sind. Wir arbeiten ständig daran, unsere Produkte zu verbessern. Bitte kontaktiere uns daher per E-Mail (connect-support@volkswagen.de), damit wir weiterhelfen können. Dein Volkswagen Team ### 1/5 — One of the worst apps *2025-08-17* We bought our Cali Ocean new , 1 year ago today , since then this app has worked a grand total of 3 times, the Bluetooth in the van constantly wants to disconnect you and reconnect to Apple car play which we use daily so why wouldn’t we , the instructions to connect look like they’ve been written before the app was ever tested, each time we try to use it , it seems likes it’s forgotten who we are and we have to re,register … shame really because it had potential just lacks the support needed to actually make a working robust app, I would of expected more from VW to compliment a 70k van. **Developer response:** Hello, Thank you for sharing your experience with the California Ocean and our California App. We sincerely regret the inconvenience you've encountered and understand how frustrating it must be, especially given the expectations that come with a premium vehicle. We are committed to resolving these issues as quickly as possible. To assist you effectively, we kindly ask you to contact us via email (california@volkswagen.de) and provide the following details: - A detailed description of the problems you’re experiencing - Your vehicle’s VIN (Vehicle Identification Number) - The software version of your smartphone and the app version currently installed - If available, screenshots or recordings of any error messages, including error codes - Any additional information that might be relevant for us and our technical team to know This information will help us investigate the issue thoroughly and provide you with targeted support. As a general note: For the California T6.1, both Apple CarPlay and the app’s remote functions operate via Wi-Fi. If you wish to use both simultaneously, Apple CarPlay must be connected via cable. For the new California models, the connection between smartphone and app runs via Bluetooth and therefore Apple CarPlay should function in parallel without any additional steps or issues. We appreciate your patience and look forward to helping you get the most out of your California Ocean. Best regards, Your Volkswagen California Team ### 1/5 — App *2025-08-10* Only had the camper for a week and already the app cannot connect to the control anymore. What’s the point. Surely there must be an update coming. For the money spent this is ludicrous that a simple blue tooth device does not work. **Developer response:** Dear Thai 26, We are sorry you are having connectivity issues with the California App. Usually this should not happen. However, we will be happy to help you and fix the problem you are facing. Therefore, we need more information (e.g. VIN, software/ app version, the error code shown after failure on you phone) and ideally at the same time a recording of the connection process to further analyze your connectivity problem. Please contact us at california@volkswagen.de. Sincerely, Your Volkswagen California Team. ### 1/5 — Rubbish doesn’t work *2025-06-18* Had two vans and this app Doesn’t work on either of them. It very rarely connects then just stops signal. It’s not worth it don’t bother. Come on VW sort this out **Developer response:** Dear Richie463, We are sorry you are having issues with the California App. However, we will be happy to help you. Therefore, we need more information (e.g. VIN, software/ app version) and also ideally a recording of the connection process to further analyze your connectivity problem. Please contact us at california@volkswagen.de. Sincerely, Your Volkswagen California Team. ### 1/5 — Buts de connexion *2025-04-05* À revoir , mise à jour urgente, déconnexions trop fréquentes et parametrage hasardeux. **Developer response:** Dear miekape, We are sorry you are having issues with the California app. However, we will be happy to help you. Therefore, we need more information (e.g. VIN, software/ app version) and also ideally a recording of the connection process to further analyze your connectivity problem. Additionally, we kindly ask you to inform us what exactly you mean with "dangerous settings" in your comment ("parametrage hasardeux"). Please contact us at california@volkswagen.de. Sincerely, Your Volkswagen California Team. ### 1/5 — Non fonctionnelle *2025-03-30* Volkswagen devrait embaucher les ingénieurs de chez Tesla, déconnection permanente…. **Developer response:** Dear Customer, We are sorry you are having issues with the California app. However, we will be happy to help you. Therefore, we need more information (e.g. VIN, software/ app version) and also ideally a recording of the connection process to further analyze your connectivity problem. Please contact us at california@volkswagen.de. Sincerely, Your Volkswagen California Team. ### 1/5 — Wi-Fi not consistent. *2025-03-23* Managed to connect to the Wi-Fi set up the app connected it to the van instantly dropped off the Wi-Fi connected again dropped off connected again dropped off. It just doesn’t have consistent connection. Am I doing something wrong? **Developer response:** Hello Din65Don, We are very sorry that you are experiencing difficulties with our services. Please contact us at california@volkswagen.de as we need more information to assist you. Your Volkswagen California Team ### 1/5 — Verbindung ohne Landstromanschluss nicht möglich *2025-03-22* Leider ist die App für den New California Ocean T7 nicht brauchbar, da sich die Verbindung ohne Landstromanschluss beim Verschließen des Fahrzeugs sofort trennt und danach auch nicht mehr wiederaufnehmen läßt. Dabei wäre dies so wichtig, um etwa den Ladestand der sich extrem schnell entleerenden Batterien (Zusatzbatterien nach 14Tagen ohne Verbraucher von 100 auf 10 Prozent, die Starterbatterie auf 30!) zu überwachen. Auch der VW-Support in dieser Angelegenheit ist mehr als verbesserungsbedürftig! Insgesamt scheint die digitale Konzeption dieses vergleichsweise neuen Modells völlig misslungen, auch die Volkswagen App funktioniert nicht einwandfrei, u a lässt sich die zusätzliche Standheizung nicht einschalten **Developer response:** Hallo Gatitojjkh, vielen Dank für das ausführliche Feedback und das Interesse an unserer California und Volkswagen App. Wir werden Deine Vorschläge gerne an unsere Entwickler weitergeben. Den Hinweis, dass die Verbindung ohne Landstromanschluss beim Verschließen des Fahrzeugs sofort getrennt wird, kann so nicht direkt nachvollzogen werden. Ohne Landstromanschluss setzt regulär nach ca. 10 Minuten Inaktivität ein Schlafmodus ein, wenn keine Versorgung durch das Landstromnetz stattfindet und liegt in Energiespargründen begründet. Weiterhin sollte beachtet werden, dass eine Nutzung der Bluetooth-Funktionen außerhalb des Fahrzeugs innerhalb eines Radius von ca. 4 Metern möglich ist. Zum besseren Verständnis Deines konkreten Falls freuen wir uns, wenn Du mit uns über unseren offiziellen California Support Kontakt aufnimmst und uns nähere Informationen zukommen lässt. Schreibe uns deshalb bitte gerne an california@volkswagen.de. Wir freuen uns, Dich zu unseren Kunden zählen zu können und hoffen, Dir bei den geschilderten Problemen effektiv behilflich sein zu können, sodass Du langfristig viel Freude mit den mobilen Online-Diensten von Volkswagen haben kannst. Dein Volkswagen Team ### 3/5 — Gute App mit Verbindungsproblemen *2024-10-02* An sich schöne und nützliche App. Leider verbindet sich seit dem Update die App so garnicht mehr mit meinem Fahrzeug (Cali BJ 23). Vorher ging es auch nur sehr sporadisch. Die Vorschläge in der App zum beheben des Problems bringen leider keine Verbesserung. Schade… **Developer response:** Hallo Pool1608, wir sind stets bemüht unsere Produkte zu verbessern. Um bei Deinem Anliegen weiterhelfen zu können, bieten wir Dir an, dich per E-Mail (california@volkswagen.de) an uns zu wenden. Dein Volkswagen Team. ### 1/5 — No longer working? *2024-09-27* At one point I was able to use this app but now my wifi/bluetooth button in my California Beach no longer enables a connection. I can reset using the van button but no matter what I do I cannot get connected again. I have tried phoning and emailing to get a reply to this issue but so far I haven’t gotten any further. Support is very delayed and unsatisfactory for having spent many thousands of pounds on our brand new Campervan - technology should not be so f difficult to get to work. Has the recent version of this app removed the ability to locate your vehicle on the “planning” screen - I tried to locate my vehicle last night using this feature that I knew had worked in the past, but no, I still can’t find my vehicle using the app! If it has been removed can the team tell us in the update summary and some reason why that was done?! **Developer response:** Dear Customer, we are sorry you are having issues with the California app. However, we will be happy to help you, please contact us at california@volkswagen.de. Sincerely, the Volkswagen team. ### 1/5 — Nightmare *2024-08-11* Can’t stay connected Soon as it connects it then disconnects and goes back to the other WiFi 🤷🏼‍♂️ **Developer response:** Dear lkj-21, Thank you for your comments. We are sorry you are encountering issues with the California on Tour app. However, we will be happy to help you. Please contact us at californiaontour@volkswagen.de. Sincerely, the Volkswagen team. ### 2/5 — Connection issues *2024-06-11* App connects then disconnects after 2/3 secs. There seem to be 2 WiFi networks - the ‘van hotspot and another. The app seems to work on the other. The WiFi on the iPhone 13 seems to change at random when it sees a stronger signal. Car Play seems to be connecting/disconnecting and one or both of these seem to cause the app to disconnect. Surely a user shouldn’t have to change WiFi settings in their phone? It is unclear whether the app needs a connection to the internet and if so does it use the onboard WiFi or eSIM. Does a user have to purchase a data package to get the app to work? If so this is not explained anywhere. In its current form the app is not fit for purpose. **Developer response:** Dear mrkjd, Thank you for your comments. We are sorry you are experiencing difficulties with the California on Tour app. However, we will be happy to help you. Please contact us at californiaontour@volkswagen.de. Sincerely, the Volkswagen team. ### 1/5 — The app that doesn’t connect *2024-03-15* 5 months ago I purchased a new 24 California Coast. This app leads to a comedy of errors with the software for this vehicle. Little or no help on the contact support line - just a case number that stays with you! I give up !!!! **Developer response:** Dear ShedStoker, thank you for your feedback. We're sorry you're having trouble using the California on Tour app. Your issue might be caused by CarPlay being active. Unfortunately, it is not possible to use the wireless Apple CarPlay function with the California on Tour remote control function at the same time, as both work with a Wi-Fi connection. Unfortunately, we can only offer you one workaround for this problem (at the moment). In order for both connections to work at the same time, Apple CarPlay must be used with a wired connection, as it is technically not possible to use both Wi-Fi connections at the same time. If you have any further questions, please feel free to contact us by email (californiaontour@volkswagen.de) or phone (0800-2797508) so that we can help you. Your Volkswagen Team ### 3/5 — Nützliche App, aber… *2024-02-09* Die Funktionen Frieder kostenlosen App sind gut! Leider ist es mir nicht möglich die App in Deutsch zu benutzen. Alles außer das digitale Handbuch ist englisch, Sprache einstellen-nicht möglich. Die selbe App auf dem Telefon meiner Frau ist auf Deutsch und hat Auswahlfunktionen, welche ich nicht habe. Das ist unverständlich. **Developer response:** Hallo CGaBW., danke für Dein Feedback! Dieses hilft uns, unsere Produkte weiter zu verbessern. Die Auswahl der gewünschten Sprache erfolgt beispielsweise bei iOS ausschließlich über die nativen Einstellungen des Betriebssystems. Änderungen können wie folgt vorgenommen werden: Klick auf Einstellungen > Klick auf California on Tour App > Auswahl der gewünschten Sprache unter "Bevorzugte Sprache". Falls Du weitere Fragen hast, bieten wir Dir an, dich per E-Mail (californiaontour@volkswagen.de) an unseren Customer Support zu wenden. Dein Volkswagen Team. ### 3/5 — Fahrzeug zuordnen geht nicht via FIN *2024-01-06* Fahrzeug kann nicht zugeordnet werden. FIN wird nur über den WIFI/Bluetooth Schalter, neben Lenkrad. zugeordnet . Trotz das der Schalter Ordnungsgemäß zu sehen ist (Orange) erkennt die App das nicht und ich kann die FIN nicht sichern. Es gibt keinerlei Anleitung im Netz, nur ein kurzer Bestandteil in der Zusatz Bedienungsanleitung und das geht nicht wie beschrieben . 3. Punkte sind eigentlich zuviel! **Developer response:** Hallo anticmos, danke für Ihr Feedback. Es tut uns leid, dass Probleme bei der Verwendung unserer App entstanden sind. Beschreiben Sie uns bitte Ihr Anliegen unter E-Mail californiaontour@volkswagen.de, damit wir Ihnen weiterhelfen können. Viele Grüße, Ihr Cali on Tour Team. ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — Loses connection *2026-08-18* When I first downloaded the app it would connected and this made lowering the roof, whilst being able to check the canvas from outside the campervan a breeze. Loved the fact I could switch off all the interior lights from the bed at night. Now the connection fails as soon as I try to operate a function. Thoroughly disappointed. ### 1/5 — Stopped working *2026-05-12* Loved this app and use it for everything on my VW camper, but now it is useless as the latest version does not work! Crashes every time I open it ! Using iOS 18,7, should be working! Please fix it, I now have no app to control the van! **Developer response:** Hello, Thank you for your feedback and for describing the issue. We are already aware of this problem – it currently affects older iOS versions in particular. Our developers are already working to resolve the issue as quickly as possible. Unfortunately, we cannot yet provide an exact timeline for when the fix will be released, but we are doing everything we can to deliver an update as soon as possible. If possible, we recommend updating your device to the latest iOS version (currently iOS 26.5), as this may already resolve the issue in many cases. Thank you for your patience. Kind regards, Your Volkswagen California Team *** UPDATE 20/05/26 *** Good news: We have just released a new version of the app (version 5.1.1), which should resolve the issue affecting older iOS versions. Please update to this latest app version. If you continue to experience any issues, please feel free to contact us via email as mentioned previously so we can assist you individually. We sincerely apologize again for the inconvenience caused in the meantime and hope you enjoy using the app again. ### 1/5 — Appalling *2026-05-11* Promises so much but delivers so little. It’s unacceptable for a manufacturer to provide such a poor app. Does not connect on Pixel and does not even launch on an IPhone. **Developer response:** Hello, Thank you for your feedback and for describing the issue regarding the failure of running the app on your iPhone. We are already aware of this problem – it currently affects older iOS versions in particular. Our developers are already working to resolve the issue as quickly as possible. Unfortunately, we cannot yet provide an exact timeline for when the fix will be released, but we are doing everything we can to deliver an update as soon as possible. If possible, we recommend updating your device to the latest iOS version (currently iOS 26.5), as this may already resolve the issue in many cases. Thank you for your patience on this matter. And regarding the connection issues on your Pixel smartphone we ask you to contact us via email and include all relevant details such as the VIN, Android version, and the error code, if the problem persists. A screenshot and/or screen recording of the error message and process would also help to investigate the problem and its root causes further. Thanks and kind regards, Your Volkswagen California Team *** UPDATE 20/05/26 *** Good news: We have just released a new version of the app (version 5.1.1), which should sustainably resolve the issue affecting the usage with iPhones and older iOS versions. Please update to this latest app version. We sincerely apologize again for the inconvenience caused in the meantime and hope you enjoy using the app on your iPhone. ### 1/5 — Will not pair to the T7 Cali *2026-05-05* The app won’t pair to the T7Cali. I’ve wasted lots of time trying various solutions. **Developer response:** Hello, We are sorry you are having connectivity issues with the California App. However, we will be happy to help you and fix the problem you are facing. Therefore, we need more information (e.g. VIN, software/ app version, the error code shown after failure on you phone) and ideally at the same time a recording of the connection process to further analyze your connectivity problem. Please contact us at california@volkswagen.de. Sincerely, Your Volkswagen California Team ### 1/5 — Poor *2026-02-18* In our new MY2026 California Ocean hybrid it kind of works when inside the van. However, you can’t preheat the van from within the house on a cold morning using the app. Your phone pretty much needs to be inside the van for it to connect. You don’t get a separate heater with the hybrid so have to rely on this app for preheating. Coming from a 6 year old Tesla where we could preheat and defrost the vehicle using their app from basically anywhere in the world, this VW attempt is pathetic. **Developer response:** Hello Raspberryjam, We are sorry that issues occurred while using the Cali on Tour App. We are constantly working to improve our products. Please contact us via email (californiaontour@volkswagen.de) so we can assist further. Your Volkswagen Team ### 1/5 — Very Poor App *2025-12-25* This app is very poor considering the quality of the California. The connection simply doesn’t work !! My iPhone has the latest updates installed. Such a shame as I would like to use the app when outside of the vehicle. I absolutely love my California !! Come on VW release an update for the app **Developer response:** Hello MJS6464, We are sorry you are having connectivity issues with the California App. However, we will be happy to help you and fix the problem you are facing. Therefore, we need more information (e.g. VIN, software/ app version, the error code shown after failure on you phone) and ideally at the same time a recording of the connection process to further analyze your connectivity problem. Please contact us at california@volkswagen.de. Sincerely, Your Volkswagen California Team ### 1/5 — Can’t Connect *2025-11-26* Really Bad for something so simple. Never stays connected and now I’ve just given up on it. Virtually impossible to re-connect back up. Sort it out VW, it’s really embarrassing for a company like yours. 😡👎 **Developer response:** Hello Nigel, We are sorry you are having connectivity issues with the California App. Usually this should not happen. However, we will be happy to help you and fix the problem you are facing. Therefore, we need more information (VIN, software/ app version, the error code shown after failure on you phone) and ideally at the same time a recording of the connection process to further analyze your connectivity problem. Please contact us at california@volkswagen.de. Sincerely, Your Volkswagen California Team. ### 1/5 — Useless *2025-11-15* The same as all other reviews. Car play connects automatically and as soon as you try and use the app, they fight over the connection and it doesn’t work, continually signing you in and out. **Developer response:** Dear Dan6v, To use the remote control functions and CarPlay simultaneously, please connect your smartphone to CarPlay via USB cable. If your phone is already paired with the vehicle for remote control, both features will otherwise compete for the same Wi-Fi connection, which will therefore lead to repeated disconnections. If the issue persists, please contact us at california@volkswagen.de and include your VIN, software/ app version and ideally a recording of the connection problem. Best regards, Your Volkswagen California Team ### 1/5 — Works 1-20 times *2025-10-27* This App is terrible, barely connects and when it does it forgets the next time, shame as thought is good, execution not so. **Developer response:** Hello, We are sorry you are having connectivity issues with the California App. Usually this should not happen. However, we will be happy to help you and fix the problem you are facing. Therefore, we need more information (e.g. VIN, software/ app version, the error code shown after failure on you phone) and ideally at the same time a recording of the connection process to further analyze your connectivity problem. Please contact us at california@volkswagen.de. Sincerely, Your Volkswagen California Team. ### 1/5 — Shambolic VW Customer Service *2025-10-24* If I could leave less stars I would, the app is useless, VW ask for a video that thousands have customers have sent about it not working and still they have not helped anyone. They should be ashamed of themselves. The brand is failing in the uk, the dealer network is not fit for purpose. **Developer response:** Hello Tony, Thank you for your feedback. Unfortunately, we have not yet received a video from you showing the failed connection process, which means we cannot get a clear picture of the possible cause of the issue. Please contact us again and provide: 1. a short video demonstrating the unsuccessful connection attempt, 2. the contact details of the dealer you have visited and 3. information about the app version you are using, as well as the model of your iPhone and its operating system version (iOS). This will allow us to investigate the case thoroughly and take the necessary steps to hopefully resolve the problem. Thank you for your cooperation! Kind regards, Your Volkswagen California Team ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — Alles was man braucht 👌 *2025-03-22* Tolle App mit vielen Funktionen und nützlichen Infos. **Developer response:** Hallo Sebi Montana, vielen Dank für das super Feedback. Es freut uns, dass Dir die California App gefällt und wir wünschen Dir weiterhin viel Spaß bei deinen Erlebnissen zusammen mit der App. Dein Volkswagen California Team ### 5/5 — Beste California App die man nutzen könnte *2023-09-01* Ich als langjähriger Camper bin voll überzeugt!!

Nun ist es verbessert wieder da :) **Developer response:** Hallo AndoBlack, vielen Dank für Ihre super Rezension und tolle Bewertung. Es freut uns, dass Ihnen die App gefällt und wir wünschen Ihnen weiterhin viel Spaß mit den mobilen Online-Diensten von Volkswagen. Viele Grüße, Ihr Cali on Tour Team. ### 5/5 — Wirklich praktische App zum Campen *2023-04-04* Die Cali on Tour App ist wirklich praktisch und ich hab sie jetzt schon auf mehreren Touren genutzt. Insbesondere die Routenplanung und die Campingplatz-Suche ist super. **Developer response:** Hallo Reneeeeee1995, vielen Dank für das super Feedback. Es freut uns, dass Dir die Volkswagen App gefällt und wir wünschen Dir weiterhin viel Spaß mit den mobilen Online-Diensten von Volkswagen. Dein Volkswagen Team. ### 5/5 — Sehr coole App für Camping-Trips *2023-03-24* Nutzen die App zur Stellplatz- und Campingplatzsuche hauptsächlich für Kurztrips und Übernachtungen auf langen Strecken. Die Infos sind super verlässlich und wir haben schon viele schöne Plätze durch sie gefunden. Sehr gut ist auch die Bordbuchfunktion, wenn man mal eben was zu seinen Cali nachschlagen will. **Developer response:** Hallo Irinabina, vielen Dank für das super Feedback. Es freut uns, dass Dir die Volkswagen App gefällt und wir wünschen Dir weiterhin viel Spaß mit den mobilen Online-Diensten von Volkswagen. Dein Volkswagen Team. ### 4/5 — Useful for new California *2025-08-15* Lots of useful features. It allows you to see and control most of the features of the “leisure” side of the van, lighting, raising and closing the roof, water and waste levels (nearly real time when filling the water tank) battery levels. **Developer response:** Hello Admah, Thank you for the great feedback. We are pleased that you enjoy the California App, and we wish you continued enjoyment with Volkswagen's mobile online services. Your Volkswagen Team ### 4/5 — Crafter Bedienungsanleitung *2021-04-04* Hallo, gut gemachte App und gerade unterwegs für mich brauchbar. Leider fehlt die Bedienungsanleitung für den Crafter. **Developer response:** Hallo Ekki-Hamburg, wir bedanken uns für die positive Bewertung. Um Dir bei der genannten Schwierigkeit behilflich sein zu können, bitten wir Dich, Kontakt mit uns unter connect-support@volkswagen.de aufzunehmen. Dein Volkswagen Team ### 4/5 — Tolle App, tolle Funktionen *2020-07-13* Ich habe die App noch nicht lange, jedoch sind mir direkt viele praktische Funktionen aufgefallen, durch die man sich in der Gegend gut zurechtfindet und tolle Erinnerungen behält. Leider fehlen ein paar Modelle, die könnte man ja noch hinzufügen - Stichwort California No Limit 😉 Ansonsten klasse App 👍🏽 **Developer response:** Hallo LKV1967, vielen Dank für das ausführliche Feedback und das Interesse an unserer Volkswagen App. Wir werden Deine Vorschläge gerne an unsere Entwickler weitergeben. Wir freuen uns, dich zu unseren Kunden zählen zu können und wünschen weiterhin viel Freude mit den mobilen Online-Diensten von Volkswagen. Dein Volkswagen Team. ### 4/5 — Wo bleibt die Unterstützung für den T6.1? *2020-03-03* Die Informationen beziehen sich alle auf den T6 California. Wünschenswert wäre ein Update für den T6.1! **Developer response:** Wir haben die App jetzt mit den Daten für den California 6.1 und Grand California ergänzt. Zusätzlich gibt es jetzt eine Anbindung an das VW Online Bordbuch für weitere Informationen. ### 3/5 — Online manual issues *2026-04-07* As the title says the manual loads in the German language and no longer defaults to the English language? **Developer response:** Hello, Thank you for your feedback and bringing this to attention. It is a temporary issue that we are already aware of. We are currently working on a fix, and it will be resolved in one of the upcoming updates. With that update, the manual will again default to English when the language on the smartphone is set to English — exactly as it worked before. We apologize for the inconvenience and appreciate your patience in the meantime. If you have any further questions, please don’t hesitate to contact us at california@volkswagen.de Best regards, Your Volkswagen California Team ### 3/5 — VW Vanlife *2025-05-31* Die App verliert ständig den Kontakt zum Netzwerk. Will man die Innenbeleuchtung damit steuern ist nach der ersten Bedienung der Kontakt zum Netzwerk weg und die Leuchten springen immer auf ihren voreingestellten Wert zurück. Bis auf die kurze Steuerung des elektrischen Hubdaches Eigentlich unbrauchbar. **Developer response:** Hallo Jrgtschibo, um Dir bei dem genannten Problem weiterhelfen zu können, melde Dich bitte bei uns per E-Mail an california@volkswagen.de. Bitte teile uns dabei auch direkt deine Fahrzeug-Identifizierungsnummer sowie nähere Informationen zur verwendeten App- und Betriebssystem-Version mit, damit wir dir den Fall schnell und effektiv untersuchen können.
