Why is it that cars costing half as much can lead you to you car and tell you were you parked it and my VW cannot. Am i missing something?

Mazda is a better manufacturer then.

You phone could recall where you parked when the Bluetooth was disconnected.

Every part of the VW CarNET system is installed in your car, bar the sim card. Even then, it can use a wireless access point.

I have a feeling that VW disabled it in Australia because at the time, it was a very premium feature and it was one of a few features that set the new A4 apart (all be it that they charged extra for the feature).

VW are very slow to react to technological changes in AU, I doubt we will see it as an update in any of our cars, despite having everything for it to work.

There is no facility to plug a SIM card into the car unlike other countries which get that as a standard feature.

Yes, this is true, but MIB2 also has WLAN capabilities and can technically connect to the internet via a hotspot. I enabled all the various settings in VCDS to see if I could hack my way around it. It gets an IP and sends/receives data, I can even see it trying to talk to the vw car net service, but because our VIN's aren't in the database, the auth attempts get rejected.

I don't understand all this stuff but when I first got my car it would sometimes "see" our home network when I drove in but it hasn't done it for a long time and I can't remember what the screen was set to. At that time I wondered if I could hook it up to the home network and load the Jukebox with music and audio books but I doubt it as it would have to appear as a drive on the network.

It’s like the online games. No genuine key on the server no activation. No VIN no communications.

This is disheartening. We seem to get screwed over quite a bit with these sorts of things in Aus.
I was also sad to learn that the HUD was removed and we didn't get the option for the Dynaudio sound system.

My MY18 has access to the internet fire wireless access point either at home or via my mobile.

Google tells me the location I parked.

What am I missing out on?

An app on your phone connected to your car through the Internet.

Tells you everything about your car.

Remotes your car.
