Reversing speed

Having driven manual cars all our lives, my wife and I are finding reversing the ID.3 quite difficult because it seems to be impossible to keep the speed down when reversing. i.e. when parallel parking, I want to creep into the space slowly. I'm finding that if I hit the brake and stop, in order to ...

Re: ID.3 1st software update

Email iddirect@volkswagen.de from the address associated with the account you use for the We Connect ID. app, ask them about 2.3. Thanks - I've dropped them an email. I've also asked why I get "this function is unavailable" if I try to use the voice control to demist the windows (other cl...

Re: ID.3 1st software update

Well, the car was delivered on Monday. Looks like it is running 2.1, so I wonder if I will ever get 2.3 OTA or if I'm stuffed. :-/

Re: ID.3 1st tools / android auto?

Thanks - I queried the tools with the dealer and they weren't sure (the manual supplied with the car talks about them, but I think it's just a generic manual that covers all models rather than just the 1st). I've got Android 11, but it's an unofficial build (LineageOS) shoehorned onto a Samsung Gala...

ID.3 1st tools / android auto?

Just received my ID.3 1st yesterday. There's no jack or wheel brace in the boot, which didn't surprise me too much since there's no spare wheel, so never any need to jack it at the side of the road. But the manual seems to say they should be there. Are they normally missing on the 1st edition cars? ...

Re: ID.3 1st software update

Thanks. I guess I'm just finding it very frustrating to have absolutely no idea when it's going to be sorted - the initial indications were a day or 2 and now they just wont give me any kind of time frame at all so I have no idea if its going to be delivered to me tomorrow or in 2 months time!

Re: ID.3 1st software update

I'm getting basically no information from the dealer other than "we're waiting for VW in Germany". Absolutely no time scales or anything. The dealer is saying they can't tell me how long it'll be because its waiting on VW rather than being a thing the dealer themselves can fix, and I'm ask...

ID.3 1st software update

I just bought a used ID.3 1st and went to pick it up on Friday to find that the VW dealer had tried to do a routine software update on the car, which had gone wrong and had apparently rendered it undrivable. They originally said they wouldn't be able to fix it until last Monday, but its now almost a...
