I drive a 2017 Golf S 1.8T that I purchased new a little over 3 years ago. Today I went to plug in my Iphone to activate CarPlay same as any other day, it did not pop up right away so I hit AppConnect, it was stuck on the “Starting AppConnect” screen for a while then eventually ended up saying “you can use appconnect by purchasing an activation key from your dealer”. I am also no longer able to connect my phone via bluetooth or use any sort of phone features. I’m hoping just leaving my car shutoff for a while will reset things, I also tried calling a few dealer service departments hoping to simply have a conversation and troubleshoot but they all just tell me to make an appointment. Any help at all thanks!
