Re: ME2.0 update cancelled
Ours was updated this week, so far it does seem better with less errors and glitchy antics. Overspeed warning is still happening the dealers escalated to VW. One thing I noticed this morning I got a snowflake on the dash for low temperature I thought it was strange the car wasn't doing it before as ...

Re: ID3 Home Charging
I found exactly the same thing, car started charging as requested under “locations” but only added a tiny amount of range. I also tried setting a departure time to see if that would force the car to up its charging rate, but it didn’t make any difference. I have installed a relay in line with the p...

Re: ID3 Home Charging
Had the 2.0 installed this week tried timed charging last night it didn’t work. I seemed to have got 10% charge in 5 hours. Reading the thread think I’ll turn location off and go back to the timer method I installed on my charge point and wait for 2.1 :-/

Re: Cracked Windscreen
My insurers referred me to auto glass, they are trying to find out when they can get hold of a screen. They said it needs to go into one of their workshop as they cant do it on the drive. Luckily the ID3 is our little runabout so no big if its out of action for a while.

Re: Totally dead
thanks, took matters into my own hands after the dealer advised me not to condition the battery myself. I didn't want too boost or charge it incase the Battery Management System threw a hissy fit giving the dealer cause to blame me. Not wanting to get stranded either I put weight on the drivers seat...

Frozen Bonnet
Hit an interesting design glitch this morning, it was -3 and wanted to check the 12v battery voltage. Pulled the bonnet lever and the bonnet didn't lift it stayed totally flush. On inspection with the design of the bonnet frozen water had formed in-between the bonnet gap all the way around and had f...

Re: To Charge to 80%... or to 100%?
Our previous BMW I3s used to warn you if the charge was low not to leave them in a low state of charge for Prolonged periods. Being into radio controlled cars I always assumed it was similar to the LiPo scenario in that storing at a low state of charge is not healthy for the battery.

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: ID3 Home Charging

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. ...

Thanks, after a bit more research the Bridgestones I have do have similar self seal tech as the continentals so I’m comfortable.

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...
