Per VW’s website:

“ Available in-vehicle Car-Net Security & Service features include:

Automatic Crash Notification: help automatically notify an operator who can quickly contact first responders in the event of a collision

Manual Emergency Call: quick access to customer specialists at the touch of a button
Roadside Assistance: for added peace-of-mind in the event of trouble on the road

Stolen Vehicle Location Assistance: uses Car-Net Security & Service to assist law enforcement with locating your vehicle in the event that it is stolen

Customers purchasing new Volkswagen models equipped with VW Car-Net Security & Service will receive a six-month trial subscription from Verizon Telematics that starts on date of the purchase for no additional charge. To extend the benefits of this system after the trial, customers can choose from a number of payment options: One year for $199, two years for $378, and three years for $540, or month-to-month for $17.99, plus applicable taxes and fees. “

Also, as someone who has purchased the vehicle in question and has access, I'm kinda familiar with the issue.
