From the activity in this forum one would think that every iD.3 is buggy. Is this the case or are we only hearing from those with the problems?

My own experience is:
  • 12v battery problem - no
  • Alarm randomly being triggered - only once but the boot lid wasn’t fully closed
  • Airbag warning - only once. Locking/unlocking the car reset it
  • mph/kph issue - permanently
  • Locked in Park when reversing - once
  • Satnav freezing - no
  • Blank infotainment screen - no
  • Etc.
I'm not including the missing features that we know are coming like over the air updates or CarPlay, or wish list items such as the missing wireless phone charger. I’m really only interested in genuine faults for which we can expect a fix. Please reply whether you are having theses issues or not.

My car's software is 0564.

I have the MPH/KPH problem but none of the others on your list. It's a real pain in the neck, it affects several functions including the efficiency/'fuel consumption' readout.
I have seen some other glitches, can't remember all of them, each only happened once.

I have had the 0570 updates installed which have helped, plus at least one other patch which resolved the issue of the reversing camera image not fitting the screen correctly.

12v battery problem - never
Alarm randomly being triggered - once in the middle of the night, not since 0570
Airbag warning - a couple of times, not since 0570
mph/kph issue - I haven't re-enabled speed warnings since experiencing this on my first day with the car, I will turn them on again to test
Locked in Park when reversing - never
Satnav freezing - never
Blank infotainment screen - never
