Data sharing can be set from the center display’s settings menu or in connection with the services or apps being started in the center display.
Privacy and data sharing
With the software update made available in November 2017, privacy and data sharing settings were introduced for online services and downloaded apps. The settings can be found under Privacy and data in the settings menu in the car’s center display. There you can select the online services which are allowed to share data. Data sharing for downloaded apps can also be deactivated there. Note that services and apps cannot be used as intended if data sharing is deactivated. After a factory reset or e.g. a workshop visit or software update, the data sharing settings may have been reset to their default settings. In this case, reactivate data sharing for online services and for downloaded apps.
