Why Volkswagen Made This Decision

Volkswagen’s decision to provide free Car-Net services was influenced by a recent high-profile carjacking incident in Chicago, where law enforcement faced delays in tracking a stolen Volkswagen Atlas due to a subscription payment request. By eliminating financial barriers to these essential security features, Volkswagen aims to ensure driver and passenger safety is never compromised.

It also aligns with consumer expectations for increased safety without financial burdens.
