I shouldn’t have to tell the car who I am by licking my name on a screen
I know this is just a typo, but I do think the concept is hilarious, even if a bit unhygienic

VW ID Cars software is so bad, why they doubled down on it is beyond me. Sent mine back the UI was bad and the bugginess was awful. VW stick to making cars let software companies make software

I'm not going to correct/edit the original, because you are right, it's a funny error.

Or, maybe VW is doing a DNA validation of my identity, cause they can figure that out, just not how to let me roll down my windows from the app. ?

Since I don't drive regularly, I only use myAudi to check in advance whether I need to put gas in the tank before my next jaunt. Otherwise, the key fob gives me as much remote action as I need. And of course, I'm not such a 1st-world wimp that I cannot hop into a cold vehicle or a hot vehicle.
True. But shoving your toddler or ancient mother in law into a 125 degree car isn’t always legal…

Navigation on the Apple Watch app is still a bit wonky but a welcome addition. I’d like to have had them prioritize locking and remote start on the main pane.
