Re: UK public charging needs to improve - France excellent

I signed up with Charge Point which was pretty straightforward. Although the charger I used showed on the We Charge app it steadfastly refused to recognise the card. Charge Point seem to broker most vendors. The site I visited had 1 50 kw DC charger and 4 22kw AC. One odity was I couldn't select a c...

Re: UK public charging needs to improve - France excellent

Am currently on south coast of Brittany. Arrived via St Malo and charged to 100% at Ionity near Broons. Rural France has predominantly 2 and 3 kw chargers....some 7 & 11kw but haven't been able to get one to work today. Two appeared to register but came up with a message I translated as vehicle...

Re: 2.4 update and battery replacement

What I don’t understand is in some garages you drop your car at 9am and get it back at 4pm and some are taking 2 days to do same job,what’s going on? is it just these other garages have people who are not good with compouters? I think there are a variety of factors, including competency, but also p...

Re: Deactivate alarm

I will shortly be taking an overnight ferry with my iD3. On previous trips when leaving the car I have deactivated the alarm. I cannot find an option to do that. Only the internal monitoring switch. The manual is useless. Any suggestions? This should still be the case, on the exit screen, I use it ...

Just checked my second key after 2.4. All functions work as expected.

Re: 2.4 update and battery replacement

I charged last night during the Octopus "widow" and that was ok. I plugged in at about 9 pm and have just unplugged. About 10 minutes after plugging in the We Charge app flagged a "Charging error: please try again" message. It repeated every 10 minutes or so, and continued after ...

Car in this AM. Chappie said they have done "some" in 1 day but most take 2. Lets see what transpires. The courtesy Polo is manual and has a handbrake....already got so used to the autohold that took a little getting used to! Ok, so due to pick up car at 16.00. Surprise, surprise it is no...

Re: WeConnectID app

I’d be more inclined to believe that the lack of functionality in the app is because the software in the car is not able to output the data required for the app to provide any more functions than it already does. Just look at the data in the drivers screen. No battery %, no odometer readings etc. A...

Re: WeConnectID app

I would be much stronger. It is utter rubbish. No functionality of value, not even basic trip data or vehicle location and those "functions" it does have are si slow as to be useless. I sent a route to the car, and it registered just as I was arriving at my destination. It is so bad I thin...

Re: 2.4 update and battery replacement

Just called to check on booking for next week. Had to rearrange as specialist will be unavailable, and asked how many they had done to date. Didn't give a number, but "quite a few", and said most have completed in a day, but still have 2 day bookings just in case. All have been succesful. ...

Re: Stuck in Offline Mode

My iD3 went offline on 26th July. when it had not come back by Friday I contacted WV support, explaining what I had done. Their proforma response asked me to do the soft reset, uninstall app etc....and send photos of status. Did as requested, precisely zero effect. Then at about 9am yesterday car wa...

Re: Media player

I can't even 'see' the USB stick - just says 'no files found'. I have it connected via an adaptor in the central console - anyone any idea what I am doing wrong? Many aspects of this car do seem to offer challenges and require 'working through' to get anywhere. I had a few issues with a USB memory ...

Re: First impressions

I have had my ID3 for 4 months now. In general I agree with the OP comments. I have a couple of small design niggles. The angle between the inside of the windscreen and the dashboard creates a significant amount of reflection when driving towards the sun - in fairness had exactly this on a Renault S...

Re: We charge app update

That's optimistic for most of us that are still waiting for version 2.4 in our cars. [/quote] Not really, the new wecharge with 2.3 is identical to the one in the video, it just comes via download instead of from the shop.
