"Smartwatches running watchOS and Wear OS are compatible with the myVW+ service. Volkswagen of America's myVW smartphone app now supports smartwatch integration in the United States, which means owners can control some vehicle functions from their wrist. Most 2020 model-year and newer cars can be controlled from a watchOS or Wear OS device, including the electric ID.4 crossover and ID. Buzz minivan."
"The smartwatch integration, which is called myVW+, works in conjunction with the automaker's smartphone app, which is called myVW. In other words, you can't leave your phone at home and expect to control the car through your smartwatch, even if it has an independent cellular connection. Volkswagen said users must be logged into their account on the mobile app, and the smartwatch must be in close proximity to the phone to access the remote controls on the wrist-mounted smart device."
Smartwatches running watchOS and Wear OS can access Volkswagen's myVW+ remote-control features when paired with the myVW smartphone app. Most 2020 model-year and newer Volkswagen vehicles, including the ID.4 crossover and ID. Buzz minivan, support smartwatch controls. For EVs, smartwatch commands include locking/unlocking, honk and flash, vehicle and charge status checks, cabin preconditioning, and remote charging control. The smartwatch must be in close proximity to a phone logged into the owner's myVW account; an independent cellular connection on the watch is insufficient. Owners must add their vehicle to the app and subscribe to Remote Access and VW Vehicle Insights plans.
