Re: Stationary Aircon (heat) only functions when charging

Update: About 2 weeks ago my dealer attempted to fix the stationery air con issue (it wasn’t working unless the car was plugged in), but gave up after about 3 hours saying that the servers in Germany were acting up and he couldn’t get the download to work. This morning he tried again and got an acti...

Re: 90mph speed limit??

This happens to me every time at a particular toll gate on a motorway. The car recognises that the limit drops from 120kph to 80 to 50 as I approach the toll, which is fine. But for some reason, just as it reaches 50kph (about 300m from the barrier) it “detects” a 120kph zone and begins to accelerat...

Re: System defaults

I’m almost 100% certain that you can’t change lane assist to default to “off”, so the way you’re working around that is the only way to do it. I also turn it off on smaller roads.

Re: Life V Family

The seats are nicer, the headlights are nicer, you get the pano roof, the wheels are nicer, the back seats have a ski hatch, the front seats have pockets in the back of them, the dash is two tone, you get dual zone climate control, more things to control with voice commands. You get a lot more with ...

Ah, well I can see why the Style is not as attractive now.

Re: Newbie thinking about Life and Family

Maybe there’s a spec difference in different countries? We’re in Ireland, and the Style definitely does not come with reversing camera. Not sure what you mean by small battery, but the Style over here has the 58kWh pack. Does the family have the 77?

Re: Newbie thinking about Life and Family

Just to throw out another option; we got the Style spec, thinking that as an upgrade on the Life model, it would come with the reversing camera. It doesn't. But after living with the car for about 2 weeks now, I'm not sure I miss the camera as much as I thought I would. The mirrors can tilt down whe...

Re: Stationary Aircon (heat) only functions when charging

Update: After contacting VW Customer Service and the dealer, it seems that the static air con (and related remote control air con via the app) should work when unplugged on the car, regardless of spec. That's good news, in that it should be possible, and buying a lower spec car (with single zone air...

Re: Stationary Aircon (heat) only functions when charging

r it's a spec issue or a glitch in my car. I did find the loan 1st Edition I have has 3 pages of options for Stationary Air Conditioning (under Settings), whereas my Business only has 1 page with 1 option, how many pages does your Style have? Both our cars have single zone a/c but I don't see why t...

Re: Stationary Aircon (heat) only functions when charging

[/quote] There was a long thread on the ID.3 UK Facebook group which concluded that "Air condition now on leaving" worked unless the car was incorrectly configured - I assume the remote app functions won't work unless the "Air condition now on leaving" works - so a car setting ra...

Re: Stationary Aircon (heat) only functions when charging

Hi Having the same problem here. We have the 2.1 software, but ours is the Style spec, so it has single zone climate control only...maybe you need dual zone for it to work? Any way, for other owners with single zone, can you confirm: does the stationary air con work on your ID3? When I click the but...

Re: Style v Tech

The style plus had the bigger battery and pano roof. The style does not have these unfortunately, but does have the 2 zone and rear camera. Still though, we have a style for a similar commute. Maybe it’s a UK/Ireland spec difference, but the Style over here has the pano roof. It doesn’t have dual z...

Re: Can't get started with We Connect ID

I have been trying to set up We Connect ID. I have my account OK, but when I try and enter my vehicle, I enter the VIN OK, then go to the screen where I put my country (UK), then it just goes "Opps, something went wrong". Nothing else to say what. The VIN is OK, as I managed to enter this...

Re: Hello there

Hi Wayne and welcome. I believe that in England alloys don't come as standard even on the more expensive trims, and they're an expensive option. I don't know about voice control of the heating system. On my 1st Edition (dual zone climate) I can control it by voice, but the be honest I find the voic...

Re: Style v Tech

We picked up a Style yesterday. It's a 58kWh battery pack. Nice things it has over the 'Life' version (that we've noticed so far): Nicer seat materials Ski hatch and arm rest in back seats Pockets behind front seats (amazing the base model doesn't have this) Tinted back windows Panoramic roof Alloys...

Hello there

Hi folks, Newbie here. Based in Galway, Ireland. We picked up a new ID3 Pro Performance in the Style spec yesterday. Lovely driving experience so far. My wife will be the main driver of it. I've had a LEAF for almost 4 years, so we're now a 100% EV household! I know all about the variables when it c...
