Re: Maximum Privacy warning. How do you get rid of it?

Thanks for the tip, though rather reluctant into getting back into all the We Connect stuff when I don't actually want it. I do agree though that it's probably related to We Connect as the problem wasn't there when I bought the car, and occured after (I think) I installed We Connect, which I subsequ...

Maximum Privacy warning. How do you get rid of it?

21 Polo query. Despite numerous attempts to get rid of this annoying screen message which is there at every start up (photo), I have failed to come up with a solution as to how to prevent it appearing in the first place (it needs to be cancelled every time) I did at one time have the WE Connect on m...

Re: Software update 91CL and how do I get rid of the "maximun privacy" message?

Thanks for the help guys. No I haven't coded my keys. Why should I? (the message has only recently appeared anyway) The manual goes on about We Connect, but I don't understand the relevance to be honest. I understand the different security levels from the manual though (about the only thing it is cl...

Re: Software update 91CL and how do I get rid of the "maximun privacy" message?

Thanks, I've got to the first screen by swiping down, but I can't proceed further as it seems I need to "log in with Volkswagen ID"
Is this the case please?

Software update 91CL and how do I get rid of the "maximun privacy" message?

Polo data transfer message.jpg I have had this message on screen at start up for for months. I have to cancel it every time. The car has had its first service recently, at which I told them to sort this annoying issue out or at least explain how I could do so. They failed to do so. I naively though...

After starting my 2021 Polo I get the standard clock screen, then the following message appears: " Data transfer is currently set to: "Maximum privacy". You can find out what this setting entails and how you can change it in the control centre." Unfortunately when I try to get ri...

Why can't I remove my rear head restraints?

My previous Polo (April 18) allowed me to remove the rear head restraints. My new (April 21) Polo does not allow me to remove them, i.e. pull up, press the button and remove. The manual describing the removal uses this technique. Despite the apparently identical construction and removal instructions...

Match Infotainment connectivity and radio station logos installing

I note that my new Match has 2 no mini usb sockets (the latest oval type that you can plug in either way) It does NOT have an SD socket (even though hole in the glove compartment is still there, unlike the CD player which isn't) Having downloaded VW friendly radio station logos onto my phone, I have...

"Privacy Settings" what's it all about and is it safe anyway?

When turning on the infotainment on my Match it gives an annoying message saying the privacy settings are on maximum. No idea what that meant, so consulted the manual page 166. This says that every vehicle user/owner can adjust individual privacy functions, yet I can't find anywhere where it tells m...

Re: Buying a Match 95 auto questions

PIcked up my Match DSG last week and am very impressed with the gearbox. The only negative I've found is when putting it the garage. There is a 40mm step up from the drive to the garage. I let it creep forward at sufficient speed to allow the front wheels to clear the step, then I need to brake to e...

Re: Buying a Match 95 auto questions

Good info thanks. I was wrong re the cruise control, and I see why I need to clarify with the dealer. Another question concerns the cost of this car from the various JCT600 garages in my area. For example at the York branch my car, wheter 2020 or 21 are all the same price at £18340 (all 9 of them) y...

Buying a Match 95 auto questions

I am considering trading in my 2018 Polo for a new similar spec car (Match 95psi) but with the auto DSG gearbox Three questions:- Q1 The online brochure (dated 1st May 21) fails to clarify which extra features I may get if I get this car. For example, it seems that cruise control is standard on the ...
