No more connection to weconnect since 18th november

[Tof2981]

Hi, I have the following error in the docker instance (the login / password are ok on the Volkswagen website) :

Restarting the docker instance has no effect. Was perfectly working before. No changes from my side.
Thanks.

Same issue here - adding the rest of the error after the Invalid URL in case it's important.

Looks like the same problem from last week. If you open the VW app you will recongnize that you have to sign in again. Somewhere else it was said that VW did changes to the sign-in, but can’t confirm or deny that. Am 24.11.2025 um 11:29 schrieb Tof2981 ***@***.***>:Tof2981 created an issue (tillsteinbach/VWsFriend#752) Hi, I have the following error in the docker instance (the login / password are ok on the Volkswagen website) : vw-vwsfriend-1 | 2025-11-24T10:23:16+0000:INFO:vwsfriend_base:vwsfriend 0.24.7 (using WeConnect-python 0.60.5, WeConnect-mqtt 0.49.2) vw-vwsfriend-1 | 2025-11-24T10:23:16+0000:INFO:session_manager:Could not use token from file /tmp/weconnect.token ([Errno 2] No such file or directory: '/tmp/weconnect.token') vw-vwsfriend-1 | Traceback (most recent call last): vw-vwsfriend-1 | File "/opt/venv/bin/vwsfriend", line 8, in <module> vw-vwsfriend-1 | sys.exit(main()) vw-vwsfriend-1 | ^^^^^^ vw-vwsfriend-1 | File "/opt/venv/lib/python3.12/site-packages/vwsfriend/vwsfriend_base.py", line 329, in main vw-vwsfriend-1 | weConnect = weconnect.WeConnect(username=weConnectUsername, password=weConnectPassword, spin=weConnectSpin, tokenfile=tokenfile, vw-vwsfriend-1 | ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ vw-vwsfriend-1 | File "/opt/venv/lib/python3.12/site-packages/weconnect/weconnect.py", line 114, in __init__ vw-vwsfriend-1 | self.__session.login() vw-vwsfriend-1 | File "/opt/venv/lib/python3.12/site-packages/weconnect/auth/we_connect_session.py", line 76, in login vw-vwsfriend-1 | response = self.doWebAuth(authorizationUrl) vw-vwsfriend-1 | ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ vw-vwsfriend-1 | File "/opt/venv/lib/python3.12/site-packages/weconnect/auth/we_connect_session.py", line 123, in doWebAuth vw-vwsfriend-1 | loginFormResponse: requests.Response = websession.get(authorizationUrl, allow_redirects=False) vw-vwsfriend-1 | ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ vw-vwsfriend-1 | File "/opt/venv/lib/python3.12/site-packages/requests/sessions.py", line 602, in get vw-vwsfriend-1 | return self.request("GET", url, **kwargs) vw-vwsfriend-1 | ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ vw-vwsfriend-1 | File "/opt/venv/lib/python3.12/site-packages/requests/sessions.py", line 575, in request vw-vwsfriend-1 | prep = self.prepare_request(req) vw-vwsfriend-1 | ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ vw-vwsfriend-1 | File "/opt/venv/lib/python3.12/site-packages/requests/sessions.py", line 484, in prepare_request vw-vwsfriend-1 | p.prepare( vw-vwsfriend-1 | File "/opt/venv/lib/python3.12/site-packages/requests/models.py", line 367, in prepare vw-vwsfriend-1 | self.prepare_url(url, params) vw-vwsfriend-1 | File "/opt/venv/lib/python3.12/site-packages/requests/models.py", line 438, in prepare_url vw-vwsfriend-1 | raise MissingSchema( vw-vwsfriend-1 | requests.exceptions.MissingSchema: Invalid URL ' Restarting the docker instance has no effect.

Not sure that's correct. I had to re-login to my app this morning, but still getting the above invalid URL error afterwards, even after restarting the container.

[steffenspies]

Sorry, I might said this wrong. I simply wanted to show that the re-login and the problems with VWsfriend are related. It doesn’t solve the problem. Am 24.11.2025 um 13:24 schrieb bendavidson ***@***.***>:bendavidson left a comment (tillsteinbach/VWsFriend#752) Looks like the same problem from last week. If you open the VW app you will recongnize that you have to sign in again. Somewhere else it was said that VW did changes to the sign-in, but can’t confirm or deny that. Am 24.11.2025 um 11:29 Not sure that's correct.

I can confirm I've got the same problem - had to relogin to the VW app on my phone this morning, last time VW's Friend received anything from the car was 08:58 today.

[MucheteWO]

Same here. not working at the moment.

[FireFury0]

Looks like VW have changed the Location header returned during authentication so that it no longer contains the host name.

That bit is an easy fix, unfortunately it looks like they have also changed the login form and we_connect_session.py:doWebAuth() can no longer parse it.

[ualex73]

It broke here too :-( @FireFury0 can you tell us what you fixed? maybe we can help eachother fixing (hacking it)

[Mo3he]

I have the same problem, if it helps Volkswagen Connect for home assistant had the same issue but fixed it fairly easily and quickly

[tillsteinbach]

We are working on a solution here: CarConnectivity once this is found I can back port it to VWsFriend too.

[stefan1983]

As it seems everyone is affected. So am I :)

By the way, is there a migration path for switching to the new CarConnectivity (from existing setups running WeConnect-python)?

[zaphod-pab]

We are working on a solution here: CarConnectivity once this is found I can back port it to VWsFriend too.

Do you have an estimation about the timeline for a backported fix or some guidelines for migration to carconnectivity? I am trying to figure out for myself whether to wait or start moving my current vwsfriend setup.
