Re: Parking sensors not working

I have just taken my ID3 to the dealer to investigate a similar fault. It started with a ‘please clean’ the left and right parking sensors message (they were spotless and undamaged) followed by the progressive failure of the rear sensors, and finally the front sensors too. This meant that parking me...

Re: Octopus Plug nCharge is here

It only currently (sorry about the bad pun) works with Ionity. The nearest one to me is about 120 miles away, so I don't think I will bother!

Re: First year

I live in a rural area and above 80% of my driving is on B or unclassified roads where there are no lines or kerbs for the system to read therefore irrespective of the speed of the vehicle for the steering to want to take over is downright dangerous even more so if the road surface is greasy or icy...

Re: First year

I agree with virtually all your comments, but would add that reversing lights are far too dim.

Another VW? I don’t think so.😒

Re: We Charge by Elli

I signed up for WeCharge nearly a year ago. Big mistake! There are no chargers where I can use the card within 120 miles of me.

Infotainment system switched off during drive

Hi, I did a reasonably long trip today. Started at midday with 100% battery and had no issues on the outbound trip of about 67 miles. On the return trip with battery at about 42%, the infotainment screen went blank and the driver’s screen background turned white. After much messing about, we managed...

Re: New update to 3.2?

I had this problem too. I opened all the windows, then closed the rear windows, released the button, then held it up for 10 seconds (or a bit more). Then repeated this procedure for the front windows. That seemed to fix it for me. Good luck!

Android Auto - Map permanently in night mode

Hi, I have noticed recently that the map display in my ID3 is permanently in night mode when my Android phone is connected. The satellite display works OK (though I do not know how much data this consumes). I have tried changing the control of the display in developer mode on the phone but this make...

Re: Would you order another ID3?

Definitely not. There is nothing wrong with the car, which is very pleasant to drive, but I have been appalled by VW’s poor customer service. This was exemplified by a total lack of communication and trying to pass the buck to the dealer, who was kept in the dark as much as I. In fact, I would not t...

Re: iD3 refusing to charge on public chargers

I did my first long(ish) trip from West Cornwall to Yeovil at the weekend. No problems on the outward journey (started at 100% and charged to 80% on a Gridserve charger at Exeter Services. On the way home, the nav directed me to an Ionity 350kw charger at a Porsche dealer in Exeter (it doesn’t show ...

Re: Incorrect range reported in the App.

It is, but VW have not sorted this out 6 months after it was reported on here. Is there a mechanism to flag the issue to WeConnect/VW?

Re: Incorrect range reported in the App.

I have exactly the same issue. The car reports an accurate range, but after charging, the app is wildly out. See below:

Re: WeConnect app shows blank-ish screens

When I got into the car, it did indeed show 140 miles range. The app is still clearly very buggy.

Re: WeConnect app shows blank-ish screens

I noticed today that the app is showing the range incorrectly (55% = 86 miles). By my reckoning it should be more like 140 miles. Anyone else noticed this?

Re: WeConnect app shows blank-ish screens

I can select a destination, plan a route and send it to the car on my Android phone, but cannot do this using the same app on an IPad. Anyone else got the same issue?

Re: Profiles - We connect ID

We got our new ID3 last week and have exactly the same problem. Even the primary user cannot see the information on the app if the ‘guest’ was the last to login. For the time being, my wife and I have ‘merged’ our identities and have both mobile phones in a single profile. It seems to work but is cl...
