Cannot become primary user in infotainment.

Post by tomburk »

Hi all,

I have a new VW Polo (2026) and I cannot make myself the primary user on the infotainment system.

I have tried many times on different accounts and I have tried factory resetting the infotainment system. I can log in as a guest fine, but when I press “become primary user” it just tells me to press both keys, which registers fine, before saying “try again or contact support”.

I called Volkswagen, and they don’t seem to know what the issue is but said they’d look into it.

I have tried everything I can think of, and wondered if anyone had experienced the same issue or may know how to resolve it.

Thanks. 😁

I'm not sure if they will help to solve your issue but maybe it can point you in a direction. Hope you get it sorted.
