You need to register with your vin number on the webbie
https://www.volkswagen-car-net.com/port ... uest/login" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false; that gives you an access code you type into the head unit. No need for anything hardware wise like a usb stick to plug in.
Don't get too excited. Did it a week after the car was new, had a furtle around and decided there was nothing useful and not used it again since.

Don't know what the VW usb carstick is so I don't think I have one. I have a discover media headunit with a data card in the left card slot for the sat nav maps. Nohing in the right card slot. I have an ipod shuffle plugged into the usb socket in the centre console.
Your signature strip says 265 which suggests your R is pre-facelift. Pretty sure the discover media wasn't fitted until the 2015 facelift. I think you need discover media for the car net app which may explain why VW can't help you?

What is does is gives you the news , weather , nearest petrol station , etc it's a wifi connection connects your car to various information, works well and I always have it running doesn't use very much of data so it's cheap to run , you can use your iPhone as a connection but I have the vw carstick that is a wifi dongle and plugs into you usb socket under the centre arm rest
