Troubleshooting Volkswagen eSIM

"Add plan" option restricted or not visible: Third-party eSIM support may not be available in your market or your vehicle software version. Check Settings → System Information for the current version and apply OTA updates via the Volkswagen ID app. Contact your dealer if the option remains absent after updating.

QR code scan fails: Ensure the vehicle has cellular coverage during activation. Try manual entry — in the Add Plan flow, select "Enter activation code" and input the SM-DP+ address from your Roamix confirmation email.

eSIM installed but no data while driving abroad: In the infotainment, go to Settings → Connectivity → Mobile Data → select Roamix → enable Data Roaming. Without roaming enabled, the eSIM will not connect outside the home network.

Wi-Fi hotspot not available after activation: In the infotainment, go to Settings → Connectivity → Wi-Fi hotspot and enable it manually. The hotspot is separate from the eSIM profile and does not auto-enable after installation.
