How to deactivate the maximum privacy option on Volkswagen Golf VII

Model: Volkswagen Golf Golf 8, MK 8, Golf Viii - Years 2019-2026
Part: Onboard computer

In this video, we see how to deactivate the "maximum privacy" option on a Volkswagen Golf VIII. This option limits the sharing of your vehicle's data with Volkswagen and connected services to the maximum, deactivating most of the remote services that allow you to interact with your car remotely, such as: locating the vehicle, checking the state of charge of the traction battery, receiving notifications about the vehicle's status; all to protect your privacy. If we want to deactivate this option, we must operate from the multimedia screen, go to "user settings" then to "privacy and services settings" and then select "share my location".
