Re: What’s Up with the charging speeds ?

Update on charge after battery prep (not positive!) Advice from Ionity was 1- driving for 30-40 minutes at highway speeds prior to charge to ensure battery is warm 2- not having the battery less than 20% prior to charge 3- nice warm day Nothing to be done about the warm day but was about the same as...

Re: Good buy I3 Hello ID3

You should be able to see charge progress on the app by looking at the vehicle menu (the car icon on the bottom ribbon). When it’s charging it will tell you how long until reachng the target charge.

Re: Key not working

I’ve not had any problems with the key fob operation, some weirdities with central locking generally. It sounds like it could be a failure of the fob itself but maybe worth looking at the locking options in the vehicle menu?

Re: What’s Up with the charging speeds ?

Ok, I’m writing this while I sit plugged into an ionity rapid charger (capable of upto 350kW), charging at around 60kW. I thought I’d phone them up and ask why it wasn’t maxing out at 100kW... Turns out there’s a few potential reasons. Optimum charging speed relies on several things: - a battery <20...

Re: Is it me?

The volume slider being dark doesn’t bother me because you don’t have to touch it in a particular place it’s just whether you move your finger left or right to reduce or increase the volume....as it’s relatively large and central I find it easy to locate. The heating sliders are a little trickier to...

Re: Sat nav freeze

I had all those symptoms (along with a couple of others...)
I got the car back on Friday with the sw patched to level 0570 and so far the satnav has behaved. Saying that I haven’t actually been anywhere new where I’ve needed to navigate yet, but the map screen has been on display.

Yeah I think it will need someone following but that’ll take some arranging. I thought someone might have done the hard-work for me already ;)

Brake lights & regenerative braking 🔴

Something which often goes through my mind when I’m driving my ID3 is “I wonder what my brake lights are up to right now?” When I’m driving and press the brake pedal I expect the brake lights come on, but what about: - When I’m coasting up to a junction and the car progressively increases RB - When ...

Anyone know what’s new in software patch 0570?

I’ve just had my ID.3 back from the dealer hopefully to calm the collision avoidance system down...
The fix has been to patch to 0570. Does anyone know the list of fixes that comes with this version?

Re: Enlarging the rear camera view

Thank you, that swipe makes a huge difference to reversing.

And for info, the view of the sensors is removed but the audible signal is still there :)

Enlarging the rear camera view

Does anyone know if it’s possible to remove the front and rear sensor display from the rear camera view when reversing? A full view initially appears then the left hand side of the screen gets covered by the sensor graphic.

I’ve had my ID3 a day and the infotainment system is the main glitch. The screen has locked up completely already and needed a hard reset it. It seemed to happen after I entered my home address in the nav. Plus intermittently: * P Menu not available and no reversing camera * Climate control switchin...

I used the 5 day drive away VW insurance, and was surprised to see how competitive the annual policy was. I went for it.

Re: Downloadable user manual

VW imply that if you know your VIN you can download here:

But I do know my VIN (I’m cutting and pasting from my WeConnect email) but it says it doesn’t recognise it :cry:
