2.1 update confirmed
My 2.1 update was completed today Im relieved to say. Im glad I got through the first 3 months of ownership on 0564 without too many problems.
On the drive home it was nice to have the menu control on the right and noticed smal changes in the graphics on the instrument display. The ACC graphics are better and the hit and miss of + and - to change speed now simple increments of 1mph/click. Previously mine would wildly ramp up and down. Other than that Im just going to enjoy it for a couple of days before exploring other changes.
25 mile home journey at 12C gave me 4.4 m/kw which was nice. A bit of warmer weather good for range and confidence in Beadles of Chelmsford restored.

You should be able to change the speed in 1mph or 5 mph increments.Daveion wrote: ↑Mon Mar 15, 2021 5:16 pm My 2.1 update was completed today Im relieved to say. Im glad I got through the first 3 months of ownership on 0564 without too many problems.

From the manual....
Setting the speed
You can adjust the stored speed within the defined speed range by means of the buttons on the multifunction steering wheel:
+ 1 km/h (1 mph):
Gently press the button.
- 1 km/h (1 mph):
Gently press the button.
+ 10 km/h (5 mph):
Strongly press the button or swipe over the button from bottom to top. The first time it is pressed, it jumps to the next higher ten (km/h) or five (mph) increment.
- 10 km/h (5 mph):
Strongly press the button or swipe over the button from top to bottom. The first time it is pressed, it jumps to the next lower ten (km/h) or five (mph) increment
Press and hold the corresponding button to continuously change the stored speed.
Thanks G43FAN. I understood how the operation was meant to be but on my car the incremental increase and decrease was haphazard. A gental one touch often jumped straight to the National speed limit! There were no other threads on that particular issue that I could see but hoped it would de resolved with 2.1 and it was. It now responds exactly as you describe.
Thanks
Dave

Unfortunately I join the list of people whose ID.3 has failed the 2.1 update because the "gateway control unit is faulty" and needs to be replaced. I will update this post when I find out how long I'm going to have to wait for one to be delivered to my dealer.
If we, the owners of these cars, are annoyed at the frailty of this car, just imagine what the dealers must be going through.....

Happy to report my 2.1 update completed yesterday (dropped off last Wednesday) and the car was picked up today. Seems okay, more than that didn’t realise how much I absolutely hated the loan car (ice golf highline) compared to the id3. Time will tell, but pleased with the vw customer service so far. Based on other reports I totally expected this software update when I bought the car so not really fazed by it, but appreciate not everyone will be in that position.
Mine went to the workshop yesterday, had a call at lunchtime that they can't get the car to take the core 2.1 software - they've already done a couple of their own cars but mine is the first customer one, so they feel bad but I have a loaner Golf 8 so not too fussed for now...
They had logged a technical report with VW and were waiting to hear back from them.

Add me to the "my ID.3 needs a new control unit before 2.1 can be installed" list - just had another call from the workshop.
The car isn't bricked, it fell at the first hurdle so is in the same state as when I dropped it off and I'm off to collect it shortly as the control unit is on back order at the factory so it could be a while...!

Mine is in for its upgrade today, I have a Golf 8 and like you, I hate it. So sluggish pulling away and the diesel engine sounds like the exhaust is blowing. It's brand new, done less than 1000 miles, and very plush, but I'll never go back to an ICE car.Smokeyhill wrote: ↑Tue Mar 16, 2021 1:37 pm Happy to report my 2.1 update completed yesterday (dropped off last Wednesday) and the car was picked up today.

ID.3 1st Edition Manganese Grey - called Heidi Flowerpot
Fingers crossed here as mine is also in for the update today. I have a Tiguan loaner, and feel the same — sluggish acceleration, noisy diesel, although coming from the ID.3 I did understand all the various controls on the steering wheel (same design language), and the ACC worked fine on the motorway, and the lane assist was not annoying!HeidiFlowerpot wrote: ↑Wed Mar 17, 2021 5:00 pmMine is in for its upgrade today, I have a Golf 8 and like you, I hate it.

I’ve just been told by my dealer that they’ve been given an estimated date for receiving a new gateway control unit of 23rd March. Fingers crossed.
I reckon that the control unit is not failing per se. I suspect the hardware version installed in the early 1st Editions is too old for the new software. Unfortunately we’re dealing with motor mechanics and not IT professionals so they don’t think to check version numbers before they start the upgrade. It’s more of a suck it and see approach........ IMHO.
scott28tt - when they told me that my update had failed they said that it was half way through so I am guessing that my ID.3 is unusable until they can complete the update. You are lucky that yours failed at the start. Or maybe they checked the hardware version before they started.
Sorry to hear about this, ID.3 is proving to be a real time sink - documenting faults, driving backwards and forwards to dealer, I can't really blame the dealer as my 2.1 update failed at the zeroth hurdle as they spotted the cracked windscreen during the vehicle health check as part of accepting the vehicle.scott28tt wrote: ↑Wed Mar 17, 2021 2:38 pm Add me to the "my ID.3 needs a new control unit before 2.1 can be installed" list - just had another call from the workshop.

Hope they get the unit soon.

Mine is in for 2.0 -> 2.1 today. They gave us a 1st loaner. They are looking at all aspects, aircon, charging, 80% limit being ignored, plus 2.1 fixes. Their current ETA is tomorrow 4pm pickup.
I believe that the carpet issue was to do with a potential for the carpet to be caught in the pedals. Probably needed a trim or an additional fixing. Can you see any changes in the footwell?
