Infotainment display locked on clock display
My Infotainment display seems locked on displaying the clock/time. I can find no way back to main screen and controls for most of the car's functions. Any simple solution?

Re: error message, error drive system please visit workshop
I have now had another drive system failure since garage did diagnostics etc. This time car drove and parked normally. However when I returned to the vehicle and started it, no symbols lit up on small screen, so no gears selected or selectable. No error messages displayed. I tried restart routine th...

Re: error message, error drive system please visit workshop
My AA man seemed to think they now have no problem recovering most EVs including ID3s, though obviously I haven't tried that yet.

Re: error message, error drive system please visit workshop
I've just had this drive system error message soon after setting off from home. It switched itself to D and I continued, but then realised that no drive selector light was illuminated on the pod. Stopping in a public car park I discovered that I could not change the drive setting, and once I engaged...

Re: How to charge an id3 between 0.30-4.30.
I also have a Pod-Point charger. Once their app allowed scheduled charging I started to us it. However although it sometimes worked just fine, on other occasions the care didn't charge as scheduled. I then watched it and noticed the light on the plug-in connection on the car switched from white to r...

Over-the-air updates
Received email today inviting me to accept 0ver-the-air updates when available this autumn. Seems I have just 2 weeks to agree to this. Though keen to get this long-awaited feature, I'm less keen on being a beta software guinea-pig! If updates fail or hang mid-stream will the car still be useable I ...

Re: Owners Manual
Entering my own vehicle reg no now brings up this latest version of the manual 11/2020, presumably because my dealer completed installation of 2.1. s/w version today.
Online manual seems easy to use, certainly better than the paper version with its tiny font-size!

Re: 2.1 update confirmed
My 2.1 update scheduled for 15th Mar, after battery died last weekend.
It should be an improvement on my existing 0564 version (car built mid Nov!)

Re: Dynamics of the aux 12v battery?
Thx for replies so far, very helpful. I'm wondering why leaving the car plugged in when charging is complete then drains the 12v battery? I have been charging mine at home just after midnight to catch cheaper rate electricity, usually taking about 4.5hrs. It can then be plugged in and not charging f...

Dynamics of the aux 12v battery?
Does anyone know when & what exactly charges the aux 12v battery? Also what depletes it, and when?
This all seems vital info, until we are all on more recent versions of the s/w.

Re: Totally dead
After a clear run with my pre-ordered ID3 Style from collection on 31st Dec (s/w version sadly still 0564), I've finally joined the "totally dead" customer experience group! Having charged my car via a Shell rapid charger & CCS socket on Friday, with a top-up at home same night, to my ...

Re: OUR Real World Range
Agree; better info on what affects range and by how much would be really useful. With a quoted range of 260 miles, I had assumed 167 mile trip to Norwich would be easily attainable. Having seen the negative effect of cold weather, and motorway driving at 70mph, I'm now not sure I'd make it in the wi...

Re: Great service from VW finance customer services
Was intending to do a PCP deal, but eventually decided to do the new Lease/Care deal, which is effectively hiring the car with maintenance included. 3 year deal, which can be extended for 1 or 2 more if I want that; however there is no option to buy at the end, which seems odd to me.

Re: Drive selector issue
I can't recall whether there was a beep when I selected forward drive B. I'm hoping you're right that it may have been roll-back, as random gear selection seems too alarming to contemplate!

Great service from VW finance customer services
In late January, I raised two issues with VW Finance and their customer resolutions team. My advisor listened carefully to a more detailed account of the issues and circumstances, and promised to do his best to resolve both. He gave me weekly updates by phone & email, before finally resolving th...

Drive selector issue
Returned to my parked ID3 today, selected drive B (which lit up), pressed accelerator gently and the car started to reverse!? Re-selected drive setting all then ok. It was a tad unnerving; anyone else had that experience, or any thoughts?

Re: I'm a bit worried about the range
I've also noticed a massive drop in range once cruising at 70 mph. I'd thought driving from Shoreham-by-sea to Norwich would be well in range of ID3; later thought maybe only in summer, now I wonder if its in range at all using M23, M25, M11 for most of trip!?

Re: What did you get with your car?
No packaged freebies with my ID3 Style in late Dec, just a neat USB phone connector. That said, my car did include a warning triangle & first aid kit, standard in the EU, which the salesman said are not part of the UK offer!
