What to Do If the Voice Activation Key on the Volkswagen Passat Is Not Active?

Model: Volkswagen Passat B8, 3G, MK 8 - Years 2014-2023
Part: Key

If the voice recognition function on your vehicle is not active and when you press the Voice button, the display shows: "You can activate the voice command function using an activation code. Please contact your dealer," it means the function is locked. The only way to unlock it and use the voice commands to activate all the vehicle's functions is to take the car to an official dealer, and only they can proceed to activate it. Obviously, this service at the official network incurs a cost.
