Re: Odometer not updating in App
I have a similar problem - the app in my case shows 0 miles. I assume we're all talking about the VW mobile app, and from the home screen we're tapping 'Vehicle Health' and the first two lines on the subsequent screen show 'Total Distance', which in my case shows 0 mi, and Next service - which in my...

Window winder buttons - Journalists just don't get it
Am I alone in getting hot under the collar with motoring journalists, in particular their reviews of the ID.3 and some of the things they complain about. I think they probably read each other's previous work, and then echo the complaints that others have raised. So, I can sympathise, somewhat, with ...

Re: Wireless Android Auto after 3.2 update
Update: reassured that Sidehaas has it running trouble-free I tried again. The car parked on my driveway and both car and phone connected to my home wifi network. Phone and car paired on bluetooth. Still no joy. Tried various things, to no avail until I tried turning the phone's bluetooth transceive...

Re: Wireless Android Auto after 3.2 update
Android Auto has always worked reliably wirelessly for me since the car was new with 2.3. You do not need to enable a wireless hotspot from either the car or the phone. This might cause issues. The initial connection is made via Bluetooth and the phone/car will then communicate via Bluetooth or wif...

Wireless Android Auto after 3.2 update
My car has just had its software 3.2 update, and I've been looking forward to being able to use Android Auto reliably. I've never been able to get it to work at all wireless, and under software 2.4 with a USB connection I generally had to delete the mobile device on the infotainment screen and recon...

Re: 3.2 Update Woes
So sorry you're having such a bad experience. Mine came back yesterday, the dealership had it over a week. The software update failed the first attempt near the end of the process, and they had to repeat the last stage, which thankfully went okay on the second attempt. My car didn't have any battery...

Re: 3.2 Update woes
It'll appear as a tiny padlock symbol at the top of the main app screen next to your car's name. Thanks for this. I can see the tiny padlock symbol. I guess that is the indicator that the car is locked. The function is supposed to cover lock, windows and lights - so I'll have to experiment to see h...

Re: 3.2 Update woes
Update: I collected my car from the dealership today, it now has four Bridgestone tyres in place of the nearly-worn-out Goodyears. For free, so that's a win. The software update has worked and provided extra functions. I used the SHOP button on the infotainment screen to sign up for We Connect and W...

Re: Tyre wear
My car was new in October 2020, I had two punctures within a couple of months, both required new tyres. Since then I've done over 17,000 miles and the (Goodyear 19") tyres are coming towards the end of their life. I was expecting to need to buy new tyres for the car's first MOT, but my car is c...

3.2 Update woes
My car has been at the dealership since Thursday last week and today's Friday - so into a second week. When I booked the car in I was told it would be an overnight job and therefore I would be supplied a courtesy car. When I delivered the car I was told the job was 'usually two days but it can take ...

Re: Experience at a Tesla Supercharger
I have the app, installed initially to monitor my Tesla Powerwall at home. At first I couldn't see how you use the same app for charging a non-Tesla vehicle at a Tesla Supercharger. In case anyone else is similarly puzzled, from the app home screen you tap the 'user' image at top right of the screen...

Re: VW app update
My ID.3 1st Edition is currently at the dealership having software 3.2 installed. I am hoping that I will be able to lock my car from the app, because I sometimes park the car and five minutes later don't remember whether I locked it before I left it. If I could pull my phone out and check, and if ...

Re: Would you order from vw again?
I've been a bit of a VW fanboy all my driving career. My first car was a 1965 beetle. I had four Passats before my ID.3. My first three Passats were great cars, my last was a big disappointment. When I decided to go Electric, I approached the local VW dealership who were epically awful. So I went a ...

With the car turned off, open the fuse panel in the glovebox (for RHD cars, or under the lightswitch panel for LHD cars) Find Fuse 19 and remove it. The second column of ...

Re: 'Unable to load connection status'
In the app have you tried tapping on the + on the top right after selecting the car icon? Is your VIN displayed? I can’t remember where the option in the infotainment is (I am not with our car right now) but the option with the QR code to pair with the app - settings/connect or something like that....

My car is now showing an error when I get in each time. The infotainment screen shows a 'progress wheel' for a bit, then 'Unable to load connection status' and an OK button. After I push the button I get the normal infotainment image. The internet signal strength display just below the clock at top ...
