Case Study: Volkswagen Modernizes Car-Net with Detroit Labs

Volkswagen rebuilds Car-Net for iOS and Android with Detroit Labs

Detroit Labs partnered with Volkswagen to address a key challenge with its Car-Net connected vehicle mobile app. The existing app was visually inconsistent, dark, and did not align with the Volkswagen brand's reputation for clean design. This created a poor user experience for drivers who relied on the app for essential remote vehicle controls like locking, unlocking, and diagnostics.

The solution implemented by Detroit Labs was a complete ground-up redesign and rebuild of the Car-Net apps for iOS and Android. They created a native, secure application with a clean visual language that matched the Volkswagen brand identity. Detroit Labs delivered an app that became a core part of the customer experience, providing remote vehicle control and service scheduling through a streamlined, branded interface.
