So my new T6.1 was stuck in privacy mode, meaning i could connect to the internet / VW App. I took it to VW, after finding out the previous owner had swapped the radios like for like. This unlocked the ability to add the registration code, but it still was not working - it was stuck in full privacy.
VW were insistant that the latest software was installed as well, so it was not that.
After playing around in OBD11, module 5F (radio) did not have much in the way of adaptations that would help. I had a look at the Telematics module, no faults but also no live connection, after looking at the live data for connection status.etc. I then performed an 'adaptations reset to normal values' which turned off the module (SOS light went off). It took a couple of minutes, but when it came back - the radio privacy mode had changed, and the globe went white. So it seems it performed some kind of reset.
Hopefully this helps people out there, its worth a try!
Now to work out why i have a communication error with my USB module....
