When you start it defaults (before any screen coming up) to the last settings. So mine is set to 19 deg with ac on - and pretty much from when I sit in the seat it starts warming to that temp. Regardless of getting the climate screen up. Mine didn't do anything until the climate system was availabl...

Pre-heat via the app, rather than get into a steamed up car? I'm practising that behaviour this winter, I didn't get into the habit last year. Or, just press the MAX button on the light control panel to the left of the steering wheel. Thanks good workarounds/features - as you say changing habits fo...

On entering my cold ID.3 none of the computer systems work immediately, so no Navigation, no Climate, no Mode, can't check state of charge, listen to radio, etc.. Navigation is available first, then vehicle, then mode, but it can be up to 220 seconds before the climate system is operational. Is this...

Other consumer devices are only supported/warrantied if on the latest version of the software.

Will Volkswagen do the same?

Andreas, I have had the same experience when coming off ferries, but a system restart normally fixes it. I wonder if taking the car offline, and then back online would fix it. I have just seen this as a similar inconvenience as the slow start-up, that when you get in the car you can't select mode or...

With my car with heat pump, pre-heating the car in winter for 20 minutes having charged the car to 80% and still plugged into granny charger, the car still had 80% charge. So granny charger (2kW) was able to supply power needs of heat pump only 1.5kW. Whereas with a loan 1st Edition no heat pump, si...

Thanks, I have had the same problem with 2 different ID.3s, the place I reverse the most is down my drive which is where I have noticed it, doesn't always do it but disconcerting when it does. I could see the light having an influence if it was doing this while I was moving, but to take the video I ...

The image from my reversing camera is now flickering, as shown below, cuts to black, very distracting while trying to reverse and potentially dangerous in tight spaces. https://youtu.be/cuWUGk6kBas Anybody else experienced the same issue? Ironically, this was one of the faults I reported on the cour...

On collecting my ID.3 having finally had the air con system set-up corrected, the dealer mentioned that VW would be paying me £250 to compensate for the poor performance of the heat pump. I hope this is compensation for the inconvenience caused the current poor performance of the heat pump and that ...

:-) After only two stays with the dealer (21 days), my car's heating system functions as it is supposed to. "Air Condition Now" works on leaving the car - whether plugged in or not plugged in. App displays all the Air Conditioning functions now and they work whether plugged in or not plugg...

Independent testing of ID.3 without heat pump shows that is considerably less efficient than comparable EVs: https://insideevs.com/news/490983/vw-id3-high-energy-demand-heating/ So a heat pump is necessary to make the ID.3 in anyway as efficient as you would expect a modern EV to be in winter. It is...

Not sure the heat pump is relevant for range except in cold weather. The heat pump only works in cold weather and expands the mileage if you are using the heater. It is standard in Teslas for example. Generally all electric cars underperform for battery life in cold weather Generally electric cars ...

Update: just got my car back after having it's 2.1 update and pleased to say stationary Aircon and app work when car is not plugged in! Not sure why but as long as it works I'm not bothered. Pleased for you, what is your model and do you have heat pump? To get boring, my car likes being at the deal...

There was a long thread on the ID.3 UK Facebook group which concluded that "Air condition now on leaving" worked unless the car was incorrectly configured - I assume the remote app functions won't work unless the "Air condition now on leaving" works - so a car setting rather tha...

Hi Having the same problem here. We have the 2.1 software, but ours is the Style spec, so it has single zone climate control only...maybe you need dual zone for it to work? Any way, for other owners with single zone, can you confirm: does the stationary air con work on your ID3? When I click the bu...

I currently have a single EO Mini dumb charge point at home. We now run two EVs (my ID3 and my wife's eGolf) and the time will come in the future when I will want to charge both overnight. Probably not till winter when I'll want both defrosted, warmed and ready to be off first thing. Not an immedia...

..... Tried the voice control again, and it doesn’t function with anything to do with climate on the Style trim. I thought I’d be at least able to turn on/off the heated seats and wheel. Ah well. Voice control works for opening and closing the blind on the panoramic roof, and for the usual navigati...

Ah. I hope I haven't given misleading info in my previous post. Simonrg, I gather your problem is with switching on Air Condition Now, on the car's infotainment screen, when leaving the car. I've never tried doing that. I use the We Connect ID app on my (Android) phone, and tap the Air Conditioning...

When delivered at the beginning of 2021 my ID3 was the same - Pre-conditioning using the app only worked when the car was plugged in. After having the software updated I can now reliably precondition anywhere using the app (as long as there is mobile coverage!). I would check the version of your ca...

So does this mean VW will also be offering refunds for misleading people over the range of the ID.3 - https://youtu.be/2qWvo9sbpRc Here VW say you should expect a range of 300 - 420km, 189 - 265miles - roughly 75-110% of WLTP which is in line with other EVs on the market and experience of my friends...
