Install & Compatibility

Where this runs

No compatibility data collected yet for this library.

Code

Verified usage

Verified import paths — ran on the pinned version, not inferred.

Connection

✓ import volkswagencarnet

✗ from volkswagencarnet import Connection

Connection is not a top-level import; use the main module to authenticate and get vehicles.

Vehicle

✓ import volkswagencarnet

✗ from volkswagencarnet import Vehicle

Vehicle objects are obtained via Connection.vehicles, not directly imported.

Authenticate with Volkswagen Connect and list vehicles.

import os import volkswagencarnet email = os.environ.get('VW_USERNAME', '') password = os.environ.get('VW_PASSWORD', '') conn = volkswagencarnet.Connection(email, password) conn.doLogin() vehicles = conn.vehicles for vin, vehicle in vehicles.items(): print(f'VIN: {vin}, Model: {vehicle.model()}')

Debug

Known issues

breakingPython >=3.11 required. This library will not install on older Python versions.

fix

Upgrade to Python 3.11 or later.

affects: >=5.0.0

gotchaLogin may fail due to region-locked accounts or captcha challenges. The library currently does not handle captcha.

fix

Ensure account region matches the API regional endpoint (use Connection(..., country='DE') etc.). If captcha appears, manual intervention is required.

affects: all

deprecatedThe old `get_selectivestatus` with hardcoded service list is deprecated in favor of dynamic discovery based on active services.

fix

Update custom code to use Vehicle.update() which automatically fetches only discovered active services.

affects: >=5.4.2

gotchaAuxiliary heating entities may be missing after update if the vehicle does not support them. This is not a bug but a vehicle-specific limitation.

fix

Check vehicle capability via `vehicle.capabilities` before relying on auxiliary heating entities.

affects: >=5.4.4

Errors

Common errors & fixes

ModuleNotFoundError: No module named 'volkswagencarnet'

The library is not installed or installed in a different Python environment.

fix

Run `pip install volkswagencarnet` in the correct environment (Python >=3.11).

volkswagencarnet.exceptions.LoginFailedException: Technical problem

Incorrect credentials or region mismatch; sometimes the VW backend returns a generic error.

fix

Double-check username and password. Try specifying country code: Connection(email, password, country='DE'). Ensure account is registered for WeConnect.

AttributeError: module 'volkswagencarnet' has no attribute 'Connection'

Trying to import Connection from the module but it's not a direct attribute (old version or wrong import).

fix

Use `import volkswagencarnet` and then `volkswagencarnet.Connection(...)`. In older versions (<5.0) the class was named differently. Check installed version.
