Re: 3.0 Software announcement tomorrow?

Oh.. let me know how you get on, I acknowledge that I don't do many regular long journeys (greater than say 30 miles) but I have done enough and in decent signal areas, I would have thought. I am off to Anglesey to sort out some Family business on Friday so will be out and about for a few hours, th...

Re: 3.0 Software announcement tomorrow?

At the risk of repeating myself, what's really annoying me is that the Nav software isn't updating either. I got the online manual updates, I got the We charge update I have a green light and all the other connectivity seems to work. VW have just responded to ask me who My Mobile network is provide...

Re: ID3 Software Update v2.3

You have one blob of 4G in the photo above. I've read (on VW website I think) that you need a good internet connection. Have your tried running the update in stronger signal area?

Re: ID3 Software Update v2.3

Part one arrived a weekend of the 16th and then part two arrived last Friday. Both installed without drama.

Good news. There was a rumour roll out was suspended. Obviously not true.

Re: Smart SMETS2 meter

I'm running my ID.4 on standard rate, it still loads cheaper than previous car (Karoq 2.0 Tdi) on fuel. Add in any free charging you can get while shopping etc and the price comes down some more. I'm paying around 5.5p / mile versus 14p / mile in my old car. WRT Smart meters, I have exactly your pro...

Re: Charging with BP Pulse

I received an offer code for BP pulse (£25 of credit and 5 months subscription) - still trying to activate this! I have the same offer and also cannot activate it. I followed the instructions in the email sent with the code "Open the bp pulse app and add your unique code below in the Your Memb...

Re: Smart SMETS2 meter

I am in the same boat as you. The SMETS2 meter Octopus installed does not connect because the WAN (Arqiva) nor O2 4G covers my house, so it is a dumb meter for the foreseeable future. I have my MP on the case as smart meter coverage misses out most of his constituency. Currently he is badgering the ...

Ohh can you tell me how big it it unpacked? It's already 26gb compressed! I'll need a new USB stick to transfer to the car.

Re: Navigation Map Update 21.5

Has anyone downloaded a map update from VW website? https://app-connect.volkswagen.com/mapupdates/car/

How did the update go if you did?

Re: tyres

My ID.4 was handed over to me with the delivery pressures of 44psi in the tyres. I checked and reduced pressures to recommended value. Something forgotten at the PDI no doubt.

Re: Navigation Map Update 21.5

Thanks both, was wondering if it was needed. The fact mine is not updating has me grasping at straws. It's dealer time when we get back from holiday.

Re: Navigation Map Update 21.5

Can I ask a question to those whose map database is now upgraded OTA. Do you have an active data plan with cubic telecom?

Re: Navigation Map Update 21.3

Sorry folks, I did not double check my notes. It is 21.5 version of the map that has not arrived via OTA. Opening post is now edited to show correct version. Sorry for the confusion.

So fire away please, anyone had map version 21.5 downloaded by OTA?

Navigation Map Update 21.5

Hi all I understand the latest navigation software is version 21.5. I also believe that after system software version 2.1 the map updates should be automatically downloaded via an over the air update direct to the car. I have 2.1 software update in my car but my map version is stuck on 20.7, even th...

Re: Wifi connection

Sorry I didn't answer immediately. I don't know definitely which network VW ID family cars use, but everything I've seen talks about EE. My dealer has thrown their hands up and said they have no idea, pointed me at the WeConnect helpline. So currently seeing what they have to say about not being abl...

Re: Wifi connection

That is E for EDGE which is one of the 2G specs, so you don't even have a 3G signal - doesn't sound like a fault, just a poor signal. Sorry missed that E, agreed just a poor signal. OK the car thinks it has an Edge connection (which is too slow to be useful) but where the car is parked at home, my ...
