2 ID.3’s and 2 Teslas using all the available spaces at my local Tesco this morning. This time last year it was easy to get a space. Now it is the opposite.

I had had it a year and still mistakenly activate it!

Unfortunately this didn’t work. I just don’t understand it. Amazon music works fine with CarPlay. Just not Apple Music.

Apple CarPlay

Am I the only forum member struggling with CarPlay? The app works fine for everything apart from music. Constantly pausing and buffering in spite of a 5G signal on my iPhone. The problem happens with both a wired and wireless connection. I don’t know how to fix this and I am sure the dealer won’t kn...

Re: Id3 fastest charge so far

I used an Ionity in Leeds.. I'd driven an hour or so on the motorway to get to it and was at approx 15% when starting charge. Was a warm day too. 84kW initially then after 14mins (19kWh) it had dropped to 67kW then by 73% (32kWh) it was 47kW. We left shortly after that. 28 minutes total time. I hav...

Service query

I have had my car since September 2020. I have only covered 3500 miles since delivery. Today my dealer called, I could not take the call but a voicemail was left saying "your annual service is now due" My understanding (from this forum), is the first service is at 2 years. I can't find any...

Re: Car logo disappeared

Mine has gone too. Happened a couple of days after the latest update. It must be a problem at the VW end and not the app.

Re: Prospective ID.3 owner Buy now or later?

I wouldn't worry about the rear speakers most of the trims don't have them anyway Yup, I really hate not having rear speakers. My Mk2 GTI had four speakers in each corner in1989! And every other Golf in 1989 apart from the GTI probably only had two speakers. VW is always absolute minimum quality fo...

My 1st Edition has the pro performance motor. Put in in sports mode and you will beat almost anything at the traffic lights. (If that is your thing).

Re: Prospective ID.3 owner Buy now or later?

The only things I wish I had in my life pro performance which I don't have are: Rear speakers Cupholders in the back No way I'm paying the extra money for a little luxury, same battery and same performance. But that's just me. I wouldn't worry about the rear speakers most of the trims don't have th...

Re: Right hand or left hand traffic setting

I have exactly the same issue. But I think with the matrix lights I should not be dazzling oncoming traffic. That's what I tell myself anyway. Don't know what will happen come MOT time though.

Re: ROAD TRIP! Taking the ID.3 to central Italy

Two observations I forgot to mention: 1) the car recognises it is not in Kansas anymore and the lights switch automatically to ‘drive on the left’, which beats the old way of doing this which was to glue tape over the long-distance part of the lights. We have the adaptive lighting pack as standard ...

Morning all, after a few months of researching and head scratching we have finally taken the plunge and ordered our ID3. We used the configurator and specced what we considered to be the ideal car for us. A quick phone call found us at our local dealer (Parkway, Kettering) last Friday for a test dr...
