My old Tiguan did all that self-parking "Park Assist Plus" gubbins with (I believe) the same set of sensors as the Family and above already have. Of course this is just my supposition; the ways of VW are subtle, and quick to anger...

If its the latter many of those already entered in to build weeks could get lucky and get the 4 offerings they are giving to vehicles built from week 51 onwards.
We will see what Santa brings.

I fully expect Santa will be bringing me yet another letter from the MD of Marshalls apologising for the delay

Talking of Tiguan's my SEL does not have the Park Assist Plus but the wife's Tiguan Match does and that has 4 extra sensors on it than my SEL,

We had an SEL too (a Mk2, not a Mk1). I wonder if we specced anything extra that affected the park assist feature. My aged memory fails me on this point (there were a lot of options on our SEL, maybe one of them upgraded the park assist without me realising...)

It was not a standard feature on the SEL. Just like KESSY wasn't and rear view camera but these were standard on the early Match models that was a spec down from the SEL. Oh the joys of VAG

It definitely needs extra sensors. Look at the ID.3 MY23 thread I posted. The Austrian configurator shows the new changes and visually shows extra sensors near the wheel arches when you add Park Assist Plus

Yup I’m completely wrong

Sorry!

I could have sworn the SEL had it as standard but even SWMBO told me this morning that we added it to help her park. For shame.

I wonder whether Max and Tour with Area View installed might get it through 3.0 as there are definitely extra sensors and cameras on the car.

Maybe the same ones used for blind spot monitoring for those models that have it?

Nope these are different. You’ll notice in videos none of the current ID.3s have sensors near the wheel arches

The id.3 brochure (italian) was updated today (brochure valid from 19/11/2021). I saw Park Assist Plus in the Assistance pack, the 135 kW charging speed for the 77 kWh battery and maybe some interior upgrade, the prices have gone up a little bit. The configurator on the site is messed up, some images missing etc

With the automated parking i wonder if this the option to remotly park and drive out of spaces via you mobile would be an extra you can purchase via the new store on the latest software?

I see the interior renders have changed on the configurator.

I have noticed that the configurator is only working for the Max today. I've had an error message on the other trims each time I've tried today.

andrewparker · Post by **andrewparker** » Mon Nov 22, 2021 4:08 pm

They're definitely working on it. I've been playing with the Max and have had a few different seat centres displayed.

Yes well “working on it” is what preprod and actual test environments are for. VW’s web monkeys need a right spanking, showing all these defects and issues to customers gives professionals a bad name

Trouble is with VW its just water off a duck's back.
They know damn well people are queuing for their cars and are willing to wait.
It needs something like China to give them a kick up the backside.
Although China has a little way to go yet.

Yeah, I've always found it weird how they transition changes to the configurator, seems to lack any sort of professionalism. I guess some of it could be caching coherence issues.

I went on the live chat and they seemed to think that the updates for all model should go live tomorrow on the configurator

Is it me or is VW leaning into the "shades of grey" aesthetic harder than an 1980's "Cure" fan ?
