Question: Does this work in the United States? #94

I ran into an error using robinostlund/volkswagencarnet-client, and while debugging, I noticed this library’s BASE_SESSION variable is set to https://www.portal.volkswagen-we.com/ (volkswagencarnet.py#L42): https://github.com/robinostlund/volkswagencarnet/blob/2a1611cbe0f0f115f38b5fcfb715e485c1fe07c0/volkswagencarnet.py#L42

As far as I know, the Volkswagen Car-Net portal in the United States (where my car is registered) is https://carnet.vw.com/.

When I attempt to log in on https://www.portal.volkswagen-we.com/, I’m asked for account information, including country/region, and “United States” is not included in the dropdown.

Am I correct in assuming that this library (and the projects which depend on it, e.g. robinostlund/volkswagencarnet-client and robinostlund/homeassistant-volkswagencarnet) does not support US-based accounts? Are you familiar with similar projects that do work in the United States?

Hi, that is true. Currently it is not supported as it doesnt use the same type of request. Unfortunately i havent seen any similar projects for now, but i hope that someone could look into it and help out in this project and make a pr for it.

Thanks for the confirmation @robinostlund! 👍

@smockle I looked into this and it looks like the heavy-lifting of figuring out the authentication flow for the US portal has already been done: https://github.com/thomasesmith/vw-car-net-api

Following that guide and adapting the code from this project, I've successfully logged in with python via the U.S. Portal and obtained a token. I haven't taken things any farther than that yet, but it would be great if everything else was similar and this project could be forked or expanded to include support for the U.S. login flow. Not sure how much interest there is for this.

Hey @danielwelch, do you mind sharing that code? I'm also trying to access my car from the US Portal, but am having difficulties in adapting this code to accept the US Code! If you want to make this a separate project, I would be happy to help out! Any help appreciated!

Was the adaptation limited to changing the links in the vw_connection.py file?

If the only change is different hosts, it should definitely be possible to add support for it, but PR:s from someone who can actually test it also would be nice.
