The future is Android based (but not Android Automotive or with Google Apps)
Question is though will that be for all cars or just new ones. Very disappointing if just new models as software does take a lot away from an otherwise very good car.

Software future

So I understand that some people are still stuck on older software which is crazy but is it me or is the whole id3 software scene stagnant currently? It doesn't seem to have progessed at all over the last year with the store still showing the same 3 apps and no progress since 3.2. It's not helped by...

Re: Ohme Pro, No Power, circuit breaker tripped

Probably just a bad breaker and will be fine after. Agree with others that the cost of a backup isn't worth it as it would take months/years to make your money back. I had teething issues with my hypervolt post install but it has been rock solid ever since.

Re: Efficiency

Really pleased with economy yesterday. Although calc suggest real economy 5.2miles kwh based on cars reported 303 mile range. The other possibility is the the car has lost 20 miles battery range if my maths is right about 6.5% capacity so down to 54.23kw.

Re: Can this be true 88% equals 137 miles

In app settings on the VW app there is an option to change app units from automatic mi/km to miles. Mine seems to be ok after changing to miles.
Edit, ignore mine has gone wrong 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: Intelligent Octopus price drop for peak time usage

I just switched to Intelligent Octopus. My peak time rate is only 31.21p / kWh, which is a tiny increment over the standard tariff of 30.9p /kWh. Previously I'd been reluctant to switch as the price differential was more like 10p. Now it seems a complete no-brainer, so I get to charge my ID.3 at ju...

Re: Drastic range drop after V3.2

The range displayed is dynamic based on previous trips so as technician said it will improve and it shouldn't affect your actual range. Have you experienced an actual drop in range or is it just the display?

Re: Auto closure of windows not working after 3.2 upgrade

I often leave my front windows open (during the recent hot weather at least) and then close them using the key fob (press and hold lock button). This was working fine until the car went in for the 3.2 upgrade this week and since then it's not working. The windows themselves are working when using t...

Re: Let’s see your ID.3 and post your positives with the car.

load new settings message is infuriating. There's a fix for this. Take it to VW for TPI 2068365/4. They should find the TPI on the system, and it didn't take them long to apply the fix. Not had the issue since (a month now) Thanks for this I'll give it a go. It will feel like a different car if it ...

Re: Let’s see your ID.3 and post your positives with the car.

Taken in Dec on delivery, mostly very good but software seems slow and flaky even on 3.2 and load new settings message is infuriating.

Re: 3.5 software, then 4.0 apparently later this year ('23)

I have been on 3.2 since day one where i updated from 3.1 from new. Had an update this morning which was a very quick one and ran whist I was driving, it stated it was to prep for future updates.
