New ID3 Owner
Apple car play will be enabled in a future software update. The Heads Up display is not included in the UK “1st Edition” model.
Yeah my dealer didn't know much at all. The We Connect app doesn't do half the stuff my dealer said it could. I'm very underwhelmed with the technology of the car though love the car itself. Hopefully much of this stuff will sort itself out in time. Anyone have any idea about wireless charger?
"Anyone have any idea about wireless charger?"
I've read that UK 1st Edition cars don't have the hardware as they are "Plus" models and VW only installed the hardware in the "Max" model - the new range of specs all include it as standard, which is frustrating. VW are not offering the hardware as an after-sales option for those of us in this situation.

Hi, my partner was told when she bought the car (1st edition, bought 31st October) that the wireless charging “sometimes works” but is expected to be fully enabled in the new year when the features like CarPlay are added. We’ve been able to pair our iPhones to the car via Bluetooth just fine, and in the meantime there’s a USB C port which would run a charging mat for you perhaps?
Having now had a look inside the centre console, I’d be amazed if wireless charging worked because there’s no charger hardware

I have ordered a very slim charge pad which should fit the phone slot in the car nicely and do the job, and a cable to use one of the USB-C ports.

Good evening all. New ID3 owner and loving it so far 4 days in. Any idea if the main dash display can be without the ACC window?

You mean the left-hand panel of the display behind the steering wheel?
It’s not just for ACC, it also shows the other “assist” features such as those that keep you in the lane and to keep your distance from the vehicle in front.
To hide it, press the arrows alongside VIEW on the steering wheel, it can enlarge the speed and the navigation segments instead. But that’s all.
I certainly hope it's not the end of Makena turquoise, as I have had one on order since the beginning of August! Did your dealer think they were stopping making them or did he just mean in his stock?

My Makena Turquoise is due end of Jan and there was no indication to me that this would be one of the last ones.

I have been driving and domestically charging my ID3 for six weeks and my cable has yet to release itself from the car when I disconnect the power. It usually releases after 30 minutes, or so, which is not convenient when you want to drive off. I have tried locking and unlocking the car, switching power on and off, entering "Release when charged" on the inboard computer", but to no avail. I now open the boot and pull the flimsy wire to release the cable.
It is high time VW correct the problem, since many ID3 owners are suffering.

Does it happen every time?
Its happened to me once in 9 months.
Its not something that pops up on this forum to my recollection!
If I have any doubts I quick multiple unlock click the fob.
Its the 30 minute delay that is puzzling.
