Upon customer consent, the CCC^® X data exchange will utilize driving data from Volkswagen Car-Net, the automaker’s connected vehicle platform, and power personalized experiences through DriveView™.The DriveView program became available to Volkswagen Car-Net subscribers starting with model year 2020.
