After software update satnav/middle screen needs accept button

After an update to v3 of the software at the dealer, I can no longer get in the car and go (in terms od satnav/audio etc). The middle screen needs an irritating accept button to do with privacy and data and do on. I have logged on but it still needs a button pushed on the middle screen. Not the end ...

New or facelift ID.3

Does anyone have information on when the new/facelift ID.3 might be in the showrooms to look at?

Also is it correct that the larger middle screen will not be available on updated cars in the UK until 2024 (I read this somewhere)

Thanks as always for any help.

Colour is amber and the symbol appears at the bottom of the dashboard underneath the charge indicator. See attached image The car appe...

Re: Aftermarket Reversing Camera Installation

I had a “factory spec” reversing camera installed ass part of my order by the VW dealer before the car was delivered. Works perfectly and no different from factory camera I have seen on other ID.3 cars. Cost was bundled in the deal but was in region of £700 I think. My understanding is that this opt...

Yes, the Wycombe service station was the bright light in the firmament of broken chargers.

Re: Why are so many chargers broken?

I don’t even try to charge on the public network anymore. It is soooooo flakey as to be untrue. On a charge-test-journey from London to Oxford with seven charging locations (probably over 20 chargers) only two working chargers could be found. A total waste of time. Yes, It will have to improve but n...

Re: Creaking/Rattle from front of car at low speeds

I have always had a creak/rattle at low speeds from the glove compartment or dashboard on the passenger side. Keep thinking it is something on the glovebox, but it isn’t. On the list for the dealer.

Charging/range question

Got my ID.3 in September and it charged with a range of 260-270 miles. Now (winter) it never charges to more than 220-230 and sometimes less than 200. Does anyone know of this is a cold weather thing, and can I expect higher range in the summer… or has the range actually fallen. Could it be related ...

Re: Help choosing home charger

Have the Andersen installed and very happy with it. Seems best looking to me, and tethered cable is out of sight when not in use. Costs more but the aesthetics were worth the extra money.

Re: How much to charge and how often?

Thanks for the clear advice.

Is a daily 60 mile motorway trip, with 60 mile return the same day long distance?

How much to charge and how often?

Can anyone explain the advice to only charge to 80%? If this is set in stone, it appears to makes the much vaunted maximum range a complete fiction, unless this is published figure is based on an 80% charge. What is the consequence if you charge to 100%? (Apart from the obvious fact you can drive fu...

German language shown for choice of POIs

In Nav settings there is a place where the you can define the POis you want (under basic settings). This screen appears in German :)

Has any one else seen this, and is there a know fix? I am on Software 0792 - 2.1.

Re: ID3 when reversing suddenly breaks

I have experienced this. First time, the abrupt stop meant that I thought I had hit something, although I was several feet away from anything else. My own view of these assistance systems (at their present level of flakeiness) is that they add an additional burden to the driver. I am sure that will ...

Well I ordered a dealer fitted reversing camera on my Life and it was delivered with dealer fitted reversing camera, said to be identical to the factory fitted item and I have no reason to doubt that.

Re: Unlock using key seems inconsistent

Mine is the same. Unlock is pretty much random, with either key. Can be impossible to either lock or unlock, (depending in lock status) for a few seconds. Perhaps as long as 15 sec and the thought of “will I be able to unlock (or lock) this vehicle” starts to form befor the key works and a sigh of ...
