Re: Rattle

It's not a rear seatbelt buckle vibrating on the plastic section in-between the rear door and rear seat is it? That's a common one with cars - the buckle gets twisted, touches the plastic with the metal 'lug' and creates a soft rattling noise. Check the belts are 'in line' and noiseless. Even better...

Re: Is It Off?

Left mine locked for 2 weeks while on hols. Checked the app periodically while I was away. No reduction of SoC at all.
Got back into the car with the same SoC/Mileage as when locked 2 weeks earlier.

Re: Our iD3 and other VW’s

Nice!

Love the Tiguan, love the ID.4 more, but the white ID.3 with Andoyas is the cherry on top.
Buzz here you come!

You're deffo VW thru-&-thru - hope your daughter appreciates the huge upgrade too.

While I'm not looking at them everyday, I'm sure those Intelligent Octopus FAQ's have recently changed. But good to know they are now recommending a single schedule, which makes more sense...

Re: Family Pro 2022 ODB11 options to activate

Hi. I'm just wondering what additional options can be activated via ODB11? I can see that travel assist is an option. Is there anything else? Is is safe to do so? Can it be done on leased vehicle? Thanks for all tips and advise :) There are a huge amount of parameters that can be accessed and most ...

I get some similar, but not exactly the same as both others. My car is on 2.3. Could the differences be related to age/trim level?

Maybe someone with an iD3 and an Ohme could try? Pretending they have an egolf? I now have it working - VW ID.3 charging from the Ohme Go, which is being directly controlled by Intelligent Octopus (the car is 'dumb') It wasn't easy though.

Re: New ID3 Family Pro

Re: Winter tyres on the id.3

I'd go with this. I've driven front-wheel drive cars, rear-wheel drive cars & 4/all-wheel drive cars. And while it isn't physically possible, the ID3 feels like it falls into the AWD camp more than the RWD camp, from a driving perspective. Anyone had the ID3 'twitch', where you floor it on an an...

Re: 'ID Light'

I'm still on 2.3, so can't comment on 3.0 unfortunately - but didn't 3.0 introduce 'Profiles' for different drivers? Maybe it's something to do with a Profile not loading properly?

Re: 'ID Light'

That's bad. If the ID light doesn't illuminate at turns (when Vehicle Navigation is active) or doesn't respond to screaming "Hello ID" at it then it must be a fault. The final test would be to purposely try & crash to see if it all lights up red just before you hit... No, don't try tha...

Re: 'ID Light'

Set a nearby destination in the Vehicle Navigation (don't use Apple/Android), then drive. At the first junction where you need to turn left or right, just before you get there does the ID light pulse in a light blue colour from left-to-right, or right-to-left, depending on the turn direction?

Re: Intelligent Octopus and Software 3.0

I'm potentially about to switch from Go to IO, but I have an Ohme charger which does work with IO, so the ID.3 will be in 'dumb' mode with the Ohme controlled via IO to charge the dumb car. Not jumping just yet, waiting for the renewal email from Octopus which is expected by the end of the month. If...

Re: No sound

I've not experienced that one, which looks a bit fundamental! I have had audio issues when connecting (not) with Android Auto. For some as-yet-unknown reason, it randomly won't play audio or it does play audio, but the volume can't be adjusted - it informs it's changing the voice-volume (voice contr...

Re: Direct Comparison to the Cupra Born

I can't help thinking that while the Born externally looks good - 'good' as in a body-kit modified ID3 - that ID3 looks fantastic in the shot of it on the transporter at the start of the thread. Maybe it's the angle!

Re: Charger won’t lock

Could it be losing comms, so that physically it is plugged in but a connection doesn't exist to tell the car that a charger is being plugged in (but enough comms to say 'hey, here's some incoming charge but we don't know what it is so we'll take it carefully...')?

What happens if you plug in the charger and immediately lock the car - does the charger remain unlocked while the rest of the car is locked?

Re: Charger won’t lock

Have you tried pulling the manual release cord (tucked away behind the panel on the RHS of the boot, behind the offside rear wheel)?

If it is a 'stuck' auto-mechanism, a manual release may free it.
