Volkswagen’s Apple Watch App will Let You Unlock Your Car From Your Wrist

Volkswagen’s app for Apple Watch will be an addition to the company’s Car-Net system, which already works through an iOS app on the iPhone.

Users can now remotely track their car via GPS, set speed and distance limits(when children borrow the car), view temperature information and car battery charge indicators, and can be automatically assisted by VW when the system senses that the car’s airbags have been deployed.

The iPhone app also offers detailed diagnostics and maintenance information, eliminating the mystery behind your car’s latest glitch, and making a trip to the mechanic a bit more efficient.

Volkswagen also confirmed that users will be able to use the Apple Watch app to remotely lock and unlock car doors and set speed and boundary alerts.

Although Volkswagen’s announcement promises that the Apple Watch app will “be available,” the company did not immediately respond to a request for comment on when it will be ready for download.

Car-Net is currently available on select 2014 and later Volkswagen models, including the Golf, Passat, Jetta and the Beetle.
