Re: One ID.3; two users; two phones; two apps...

I've got the We Connect app running OK on my phone, but I can't get my wife's set up at all. The app asks for the VIN; I enter it and I'm told that it is incorrect. (It isn't). Has anyone else had this problem? I can see some people have reported that she would have to use my login details, but I c...

Re: Heat Pump and Range

To be fair to the dealers they could only give 260 miles as a specific figure as WLTP is the official measurement. This video is also helpful: ............. Not sure what would mean you only get 120 miles though. Thanks for the video it was helpful, it does refer to considerably shorter mileages th...

Re: Heat Pump and Range

The Volkswagen site https://www.volkswagen.co.uk/electric/research/software-and-technology/heat-pump does say up to 30% extra. In terms of range I am just feeling disappointed all my conversations with Volkswagen have talked about 260 miles range. I realised in winter I wouldn’t get 260, but thought...

Re: What new SW feature would you like for Christmas?

Great suggestions @coopear and @scott28tt.

Two wishes after only a little driving:
Display of instantaneous current being drawn from battery.
Building on personalisation ability to set profiles in the app, store and then download to car.

Heat Pump and Range

Happy Christmas, hope you are all doing well. My ID.3 has a heat pump installed which according to Volkswagen increases the range by up to 1/3rd in winter. Last night we drove a 187 mile journey, charged the car up to 100%, car range initially said to be 236, on starting to drive this almost immedia...

Re: Breakdown Set/Tyre Jack/Wheel Locking Nuts

That's all we have got. Checked with the dealer and it's all we should have. The tyres are not run flat: there's an inflation kit in the boot well. Best of luck with reading the instructions on the pump and then understanding what they are telling you! I have no inflation kit in the boot well, just...

Re: ID.3 Business Pro Feels A Bit Like Beta Testing Software

Thanks @scott28tt, I had put the wrong software version in it is 564 edited original to correct. Sorry to hear my experiences are similar to others. Your experience sounds similar to that of many others. Not heard of an 0584 version number - there’s 0564 and 0570, then a jump to 0783 (also known as ...

ID.3 Business Pro Feels A Bit Like Beta Testing Software

Hi, I picked up my brand new VW ID.3 this morning having previously had 2 Toyota hybrids, so new to VW and electric. While the car is impressive, the process has been rather disappointing. A couple of questions and a brain dump of my current experiences. Questions: The software version is 0564, not ...
