2.4 update and battery replacement
Booked in for the 2.4 update to Barnards of Stowmarket via the VW web page. Got an appointment for Tuesday 9th August. Took it in and was told that some updates were going smoothly, some had unspecified hiccups. Got a call from the dealer this morning saying that the update had completed last evening and that everything looked good. Picked it up at 9am this morning, almost exactly 24 hours after taking it in. So far all looks good. Software now 2.4. I only gave them one key but the wife has taken the car out with her key and no problems found yet.
Nice lady from local dealer, Hayseldens of Doncaster, has just rung to ask if I was still OK for taking mine in tomorrow am, and not to forget my license.No mention of bring both sets of keys but will take both in case

Its a check that car hire companies want so they know you aren't disqualified or similar. I guess they want that for the courtesy car insurance. An online search will take you to the DVLA page.Raxacorico wrote: ↑Wed Aug 10, 2022 2:05 pm I'm taking my car in tomorrow.

Collected it today all went well no issues not sure why everyone else is seeing issues, and
Few things noticed all positives
UI noticeably faster and navigation location still saved
home button changed can customse its icon etc. to flags icons
Changing driving mode changes the theme of display colour sport is red , comfort blue eco green etc
DAB radio UI seem improved layout
Not charged it yet with rapid charger to see if 100kw barrier is breached
Overall great experience was a bit worried with some of the posts etc.
Will see if 3.0 over the air comes in near future

my spare key still works tooScratch wrote: ↑Tue Aug 09, 2022 2:43 pmThat’s a good call, thank you. Has anyone else noticed this, or just not noticed - yet?Mikster wrote: ↑Tue Aug 09, 2022 11:05 am Might be just a glitch for me but worth noting if you are booked in. Had the 2.4 update late last week which seemed to go smoothly. However, my wife went out this morning in the car with her set of keys and they are not working - have tried to resync to no avail. Dealer suggesting that the key needs completely recoding....might be coincidence but could be worth taking both sets of keys with you when you take it into the dealer to save the bother!

I seem to remember that there was a time in the past year, when that was possible. Also, same with the driving mode colours.rawws wrote: ↑Wed Aug 10, 2022 5:51 pmCollected it today all went well no issues not sure why everyone else is seeing issues, and

Yes, it's the same for everyone. The '0912' indicates you have 2.4 - before it was 0910. VW have said they will aim to update the ID software version number in future updates....

This is one of the improvements VW promised with 2.4 - they basically just said this plus efficiency improvements*. There is also a charging speed improvement for 58kwh batteries and for many people the lagginess seems better, at least to start with. Some of those things you listed were in 2.3 - were you still on 2.1 before?
*I saw a thread on Facebook with a lot of people saying they thought their efficiency was a little better with 2.4 even in summer. It's too soon for me to notice anything yet but my long term trip got reset as part of the process so I'll monitor how the next six months compares to the previous.

I assume you were on 2.1 prioir to this update as most of your findings are updates from 2.3 ?rawws wrote: ↑Wed Aug 10, 2022 5:51 pmCollected it today all went well no issues not sure why everyone else is seeing issues, and

I'm getting a bit jittery over the whole update, I have no serious issues with mine on 2.3 and have seen so many horror stories now with bricked cars, some down for weeks already, and frankly nothing particularly positive about the benefits of 2.4 once installed.
There also seem to be a lot of issues starting to become apparent with 3.0 If I am honest all I wanted was better efficiency in the winter, but I might hold out on 2.3 for now.

I agree. I’ve only had my ID.3 since late March 2022 and everything works well. I’ve had no problems at all. Don’t want to be without the car for a couple of days if everything is okay for me at the moment. As they say, ‘if it’s not broken-why fix it’! I’ll wait until the dealer contacts me, which will probably be next year. Hopefully, the teething issues will be sorted by then.G43FAN wrote: ↑Thu Aug 11, 2022 7:18 am I'm getting a bit jittery over the whole update, I have no serious issues with mine on 2.3 and have seen so many horror stories now with bricked cars, some down for weeks already, and frankly nothing particularly positive about the benefits of 2.4 once installed.
