Might work tomorrow.
2.1 update confirmed
Do you have over the Air updates already? I didn't think any previous version had this.
"We will also install software to enable ’over the air updates’ as part of this software package. This means that the car will not need to go to a retailer for minor software updates in the future. Furthermore WeShop purchased options will also be delivered directly to your car."
Yes, OTA availability after this update confirms that it is 2.1.
Plus, they're talking about timed charging so I assume it will work in 2.1 (it doesn't in 2.0)

I can't see the bit about OTA updates on the page I'm looking at
Timed charging and timed heating both work fine in my car.

VW ID.3 Life
I followed the link but unless I missed it It doesn't actually say what the level is. It states what you get.
My car is re booked for March 9-10 for a SW investigation. The dealer has consistantly said I can only bring the car in for reported SW faults. They are not permitted to log UPGRADE although I guess that is inevitably the fix.
Should I push for 2.1?
As it's my third visit should I insist in future that I have over the air upgrades?
I'm currently on 0564 as purchased in December and although I have a number of glitches I learn to live with them.
As my booking is the 10th of March I would hope I get the latest version.

It's 2.1, it says so on the page:
Up til this point, your dealer has had to log any work they do on your car as a warranty claim - that's how they get paid by VW - so yes reporting faults/quirks/issues has been the approach to take.
2.1 is different in that it is recommended for every vehicle (also mentioned on the page) - VW will still be paying dealers somehow though.
I don't think you can "insist" on OTA in future - who knows if will be technically possible for all future updates to be delivered OTA or whether some will still require a workshop visit.
I spoke to my dealer today (Lookers of Northallerton) who said that they have been told this morning they will have access to 2.1 on 12th March (a further week's delay?) and so have booked my car in for 15th.
I also phoned 00800 43347328 as car was asking me to do to resolve error condition (manual in wrong language and unable to change) - pressed 2 problem with vehicle which initially got me through to UK VW Customer Care - when I described the error I was transferred supposed to be to people to help - but actually back to main menu, so I tried 1 for digital and 2 for ID, got through to somebody who appeared to actually know about the ID.3 useful conversation but no immediate resolution to my particular problem.

I’ve read in a coupe of places it won’t be available to dealers til the 10th, hopefully you’ll be ok... mine is booked for the 15th.
Why is the company so guarded about the versioning of these releases? Or resistant to publishing any documentation of them?
Will VW ever enable these updates to be possible OTA or without constrained dealer intervention? 2-3 days for a firmware update seem ludicrous.
Does anyone know of a compensation claim or class action suit yet?

Has anyone tried disconnecting the 12 volt battery supply to see if it resets any of these warnings and quirky errors?

Can you elaborate on what you mean about versioning and documentation?
This 2.1 release enables “over the air” (OTA) updates for the future.
Compensation or class action on what basis?
