RECOVERED CONVERSATION EXCERPTS
USER MESSAGES:
1. I have a 2026 vw tiguan we just bought the sos light is not on and there is green light that is also not on.
2. It also wont let me setup my vw on the car
3. Is there something about the car being in cargo mode
4. Is there anything i can do to get it out of travel mode

ASSISTANT RESPONSES:
1. Yes — if you mean the little green indicator by the SOS/emergency-call controls in the overhead console is completely off, I would have the dealer address it, especially since you just bought the 2026 Tiguan. VW documentation says the green indicator means the vehicle's emergency-call/Car-Net system has a cellular connection. No indicator light means the vehicle is offline/no connectivity. [embedded media omitted] This is particularly interesting because VW has documented essentially this exact problem on recent vehicles: during dealer pre-delivery setup, the Car-Net/communication module can fail to complete its registration and pairing, leaving the green light off. VW's service procedure involves completing t…
2. Yes — that makes me much more suspicious that the missing green light and the myVW setup problem are the same issue. For the 2026 Tiguan specifically, Volkswagen says that after you create your myVW account and enter the VIN, the app should have you scan a QR code displayed by the Tiguan under Setup myVW in the infotainment system. [embedded media omitted] So you've got two symptoms at once: - Green connected-services/SOS status light isn't illuminated - The car won't complete Setup myVW That points toward the Tiguan's connected-services/communication system not being properly activated or communicating, rather than simply something being wrong with your phone or the myVW app. One thing I'd try before taking i…
3. Possibly, but I would not try to force a 2026 Tiguan out of Transport/Loading mode yourself with an OBD tool yet. VW's own PDI documentation treats “Deactivate transport mode” as a dealer pre-delivery procedure performed through the vehicle diagnostic/PDI process. VW has also documented that the connected-services light may fail to illuminate when Transport/Factory mode hasn't been disabled properly. [embedded media omitted] And your combination is pretty compelling: brand-new Tiguan + green SOS/connected-services light OFF + Setup myVW won't work The 2026 Tiguan is supposed to let you enroll by going to Setup myVW and displaying a QR code for the myVW app. [embedded media omitted] Can you tell whether it's st…

EXTRACTED KNOWLEDGE / HOW-TO
- Start the Tiguan outside, not in a garage, and let it run for 20–30 minutes.
- Look at the overhead SOS area again. The green indicator should eventually illuminate.
- Open the myVW app and see whether the vehicle is fully connected and whether remote vehicle functions/status work.
- If the green light stays completely dark, call the selling dealer.
- Green connected-services/SOS status light isn't illuminated
- The car won't complete Setup myVW
- *Menu → Setup myVW
- Brand-new 2026 Tiguan
