Fleet Clearance
When performing an activation using the Fleet Clearance API, we require the tag vw-group-customer-name to be passed in for Volkswagen Group brands. This tag should hold the fleet operator business name, which we associate with the specific VIN activation. In case you are a fleet operator or always activate VINs for a specific fleet operator, you can ask our support team to configure a specific business name, thus omitting the need to pass in vw-group-customer-name as a tag.
The following shows an example of how vehicle clearance objects are passed in with a tag set:
Activation Limitations
Privacy settings during a clearance
If the privacy settings of a VW Group vehicle are enabled during the activation attempt, the vehicle will stay in the pending state while we keep retrying the activation. If the settings have not been disabled within 5 days, the activation attempt is rejected.
When privacy settings are blocking the activation, you can detect it in the reason field of the clearance object:
EV vehicles with an active primary user
Currently, the VW API does not allow vehicles that are activated via their B2C app to be enrolled into a fleet. If this occurs, the vehicle will be rejected with the following reason:
To resolve this issue, please perform the factory reset using the infotainment system: (Go to Home > Vehicle Settings/Setup > Reset to default settings.)
This limitation is expected to be resolved in Q1 2026.
Vehicle with no data
If you attempt to activate a vehicle and the vehicle doesn't transmit data, the vehicle stays in pending state. In the API you see with this status
If after 10 days there is no data transmitted, the vehicle gets rejected:
