Since 3.2 Android Auto has been awful for me

Since I got the 3.2 update, Android Auto very rarely disconnects and then instantly reconnects. Sometimes Android Auto connects fine but I get absolutely no audio even with music playing. I've had this a few times recently and have had to completely reset the car infotainment system to get sound wor...

Official post on VW ID. Drivers Club FB group regarding updates

Anyone in the UK able to find this setting they speak of? I can't find it at all. It seems some people have the option and others don't.

Re: Winter range

I find the brakes to be lacking in D mode, pretty scary going from B to D after a while, feels like the car isn't going to stop. That’s because it isn’t going to stop - it’s coasting. To stop in D mode, use the brake. The only time you’ll get regenerative braking in D mode is; - when going downhill...

Re: So long and thanks for all the fish..

Prices on Motability price lists are insane at the moment, I often check them out to see what I'd go for if I was switching cars right now. Even non-electric are expensive. Remember the price lists change every 3 months. 1 January 1 April 1 July 1 October If you already have a car and the prices are...

Re: Phantom braking

I've had a few instances like you described in my 2 years of ownership, but it isn't THAT bad. I do think it slows you down unnecessarily at times, and one road in my area is erroneously marked as 5mph speed limits when they are 30... Cruise control doesn't even work at that point. There was one ver...

Re: End of lease review after 2 years - Pro 58kwh

You've had some terrible luck, but I don't think you can blame your interior on the car and I'm not sure what you meant by "and it drives nicely on the school run. Don't bother taking it on a motorway though". I do all sorts of miles in mine and it's been great. The only issue I have on th...

Re: Is charging slower with V3.2?

Hmm, I charged a few times at Banbury Ionity and saw 120kW on their 125kW chargers. 480mph charge rate. This was on 2.4 or 3.0 though, yet to try on 3.2.

Re: 3.2 installed at the dealer today!

My car has been throwing errors for a long time, keyless entry stopped working and the cruise control limiter never worked. ECU was put on backorder and today my car was scheduled to have the ECU fitted and 3.2 update. ECU was fitted and it fixed some errors, but not others, so they had to replace a...

Re: 3.2 installed at the dealer today!

Dropped mine off yesterday morning, today I got an email telling me that my VW user account had been disconnected from the car, so I guess the battery test went well and they are updating.

Re: Window winder buttons - Journalists just don't get it

I like the 2 buttons for the windows, I had a courtesy car the other day and it had the older style 4 buttons and it just seemed very ugly and cluttered.

Re: Guessometer broken after 3.2 Update

Yeah this bug existed prior to 3.2.

I did contact VW with a bug report a few months ago and they fixed it, but it's broken again.

Re: Wireless Android Auto after 3.2 update

My Android Auto works fine wirelessly and always has. I had trouble previously with Apple CarPlay but that was due to my phone being crap. Have you considered your issues may be the phone itself? You should try factory resetting your phone, or clear the cache from Android auto completely and see if ...

Re: Did you test drive an ID3 prior to purchase.

I was in the market for a new Motability car, up until the switch I'd had 5 VW Golfs over the years and thought they were the best hatchback on the road. When it came time to renew, the price of the Golf's had gone through the roof, so I discounted them immediately. I went to test drive a Toyota Cor...

What is the issue with the bass speakers?

Thanks.

Rob
After 3.0 update some cars had an issue with the stereo being very bassy. Even with bass set to -9 it was too much.
