CarConnectivity connector for Volkswagen NA services

CarConnectivity Connector for Volkswagen North American Vehicles

CarConnectivity will become the successor of WeConnect-python in 2025 with similar functionality but support for other brands beyond Volkswagen!

CarConnectivity is a python API to connect to various car services. This connector enables the integration of volkswagen vehicles through the WeConnect API. Look at CarConnectivity for other supported brands.

Configuration

In your carconnectivity.json configuration add a section for the volkswagen connector like this:

{
    "carConnectivity": {
        "connectors": [
            {
                "type": "volkswagen_na",
                "config": {
                    "username": "[e-mail]",
                    "password": "testpassword123",
                    "country": "us"
                }
            }
        ]
    }
}
``

Country is optional, and defaults to 'us'. 'ca' may work, but is currently untested.


### Credentials
If you do not want to provide your username or password inside the configuration you have to create a ".netrc" file at the appropriate location (usually this is your home folder):

For MyVW

machine volkswagen_na login [e-mail] password testpassword123

In this case the configuration needs to look like this:

{ "carConnectivity": { "connectors": [ { "type": "volkswagen_na", "config": { } } ] } }

You can also provide the location of the netrc file in the configuration.

{ "carConnectivity": { "connectors": [ { "type": "volkswagen_na", "config": { "netrc": "/some/path/on/your/filesystem" } } ] } }

The optional S-PIN needed for some commands can be provided in the account section of the netrc:

For WeConnect

machine volkswagen_na login [e-mail] password testpassword123 account 1234

### Limitations
The connector is currently only for US based vehicles, and is limited in support for non EV (id.4) vehicles. If someone can test with US based non-id.4 vehicles (or newer 2025 id.4's where lock/unlock works), I can work with them to get this working there too
