The Volkswagen DataPlug sends real-time vehicle data to a Bluetooth-enabled smartphone. In conjunction with the app Volkswagen ConnectedVan on the smartphone, a large number of data can be evaluated and displayed. For this purpose, the 16-pin plug is plugged into the ODB-2 interface of the vehicle and does not require a separate power supply. Thus, the driver of the vehicle is always informed about the vehicle state at the very latest. Compatible apps can be downloaded from the AppStore and the Google Play
store. Available apps are eg Volkswagen ConnectedVan. Interface:Bluetooth®Market availability: EuropeDelivery:Installation and operating instructions1 pieceOnly in connection with:Connected Cars & Vans (VW Vehicles)
