Re: opening passenger door

there's an option somewhere in the options for global unlocking I had to turn it on for ours. its not obvious but find the screen with the picture of the car and spin it to move through vehicle settings for exterior and interior.

Re: Has anyone received the Major Update ?

ours went into Mansfield vw yesterday to look at the errors and update it. They confirmed the TSBs for the errors and that it needs an update however couldn't do it as they don't have the special equipment for the ID3. They tried to borrow it from another dealer but apparently it's in short supply. ...

Re: New to id3 seeks help to warning.

We got a red version of that symbol yesterday in heavy snow. Guessed it was front collision avoidance saying it’s not happy due to sensors or visibility. It cleared itself when it stopped snowing.

UK tyres fitted on delivery

Guys What tyres did you get with your UK 1st edition? I had read they come with continentals with self repairing technology hence no spare or repair kit. Just checked mine to order winter tyres and noticed it has Bridgestone ECO tyres which I don’t think have self repair. With no spare or repair kit...

I think somethings wrong with mine the apps home
screen is blank and when I click customise none of the options do anything.

None of the screens tell me the charge status of the car. In fact there is no functionality in the app that I can see anywhere hmmm

Re: Good buy I3 Hello ID3

Thanks the app seems to be paired i went through the activation process using the QR code on the cars screen.

The app offers no information on charge status and when I try the ac setting it just times out.

I might try reactivating tomorrow it all seems really sketchy.

I originally had a non tethered but changed to a 7m tethered. it made it a lot slicker pulling onto the drive and plugging in especially in rank weather. also with early morning Starts you're not packing the cabl...

Re: Brake lights & regenerative braking 🔴

I wonder if they have a deceleration sensor? will be interesting to see our I3 does where it puts the brake light on when detecting moderate deceleration works well.
