I've got this on my phone. Complete waste of time. The only thing it allows you to do is send destinations to the nav. On the eGolf and GTE, you can control aircon, heated seats and the charge status from the phone but this requires telematics with the Scirocco range doesn't support. For the first six months, it thought my car was a Passat!!! This was until they undated the app a couple of months back. The one useful thing the CARNET gives you is the Google Maps traffic info on the factory nav. You get this for free for the first 3 years. I had mine from new so not sure if it's been registered to the previous owner. Dealer should sort it or call VW customer service. I registered mine on the website (http://vwcarnet.com/setup/index.html" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false;).
