Hi, my first time posting on the VW forum after receiving my Tiguan SEL on Monday.
I'm just wondering if it's worth connecting to the car net connect thingy ; I have the car on a 2 year lease and I think you get 3 years access with the SEL.
After hitting Google for info, some think it's good, whilst others say it's a waste of time so I was looking for real world pinions.
I've hooked up Android auto, which I find really good, so not sure on car net.
Any info would be gratefully received!

If you're happy using Android Auto then Carnet is pointless; stick with the former.

Thank you, that's exactly what I wanted to know.
I won't bother connecting then.

If you do have it, why not?

I do use it, mainly as it lets me look at the various traffic jams on the way to work and pick the best route.

I tend to use waze, which does the same. I may hook it up this weekend and see what happens.

I've had it in the last 2 cars. I've used it precisely once.

Android Auto is superior in absolutely every way.
