Can’t leave the environmental controls (AC or heating) on overnight while camping (it turns off after 30 Min). Sometimes the App doesn’t work correctly to set the battery settings, and requires going down in person. ### 2/5 — Sync *2026-08-23, version 2026.6.12* Data not synchronizing properly with id4 ### 1/5 — Always in French *2026-08-22, version 2026.6.12* Why is this always in French? How can I change it to English? My device language is already in English but app still in French ### 1/5 — Basic *2026-08-21, version 2026.6.12* The ID Buzz Monitor app offered way more information and features, which means they are available, VW is just choosing not to expose them to us. This app is basic and an embarrassment to VW engineers. Love the Buzz but this app and related functions are an absolute joke. ### 3/5 — Better but not perfect *2026-08-21, version 2026.6.12* Get better Since spring of 2026. But still not perfect and wish more functions ### 1/5 — VW App *2026-08-19, version 2026.6.12* Minimal functionality given what has been available for 10 years. ### 1/5 — Awful. *2026-08-19, version 2026.6.12* Quite simply does not work and hasn’t worked for months and months. ### 3/5 — Worng colour displayed *2026-08-19, version 2026.6.12* For a Couple weeks my car in the app gets displayed in wrong color. Not a big deal but supposed to be in monument blue but it’s indetified now as a black Gli :) not sure why. ### 3/5 — Navigation *2026-08-16, version 2026.6.12* Map is working very slow I can’t tracking my car I mean the GPS is not showing up well most of the time is wrong ### 1/5 — App Review *2026-08-16, version 2026.6.12* 1 Star as the App rarely works. ## Frequently asked questions about myVW ### What vehicles are compatible with myVW? myVW is available on most model year 2022 vehicles and newer.
