Re: General 2.3 OTA rollout to start

So I seem to have the 2.3 update now, but the WeCharge app has disappeared. The first part of the 2.3 update, with the switching off of the assist systems happened on Wednesday. The download of the second part happened whilst I was out driving yesterday, and the car told me install of this 91CA-82 u...

Re: 3 new faults today. Help!

If I wasn't on this forum I wouldn't have thought to check System Updates on the infotainment system, but having done so I found that a download was in progress. Once the download finished I got a message saying I could 'complete my journey' and 'the update' would be available to download when I sw...

Re: 3 new faults today. Help!

I had exactly this driving home today! Probably 30 seconds or so after all the warnings, I got a popup notifying me of the software update. Fortunately I'd seen discussions about these warnings, and as others have said, the email from VW did indicate that assist systems would be degraded during the...

Thanks - good to know. There are a lot of cobbles and poorly maintained roads near me so I have resorted to having that part of the sear folded down to avoid the rattling. :lol: Been putting off going to the dealer but will give them a try now.

Re: Recall on ID3 1st Edition

I had it done when I went in for rattling rear seat. Which turned out a bush needed replacing in seat hinge. I was surprised I wasn't notified about a recall. If it is a 'recall' surely we should have been notified? Otherwise it's not really a 'recall' is it? PS - did the new bush fix your rattling...

Re: We Connect App whilst charging

I was charging my car yesterday at a public charger and had what sounds like the same issue too. Every time I tried to open the app to check the progress of the charge it was crashing almost immediately. It hasn't done this in the past. I think the app may have updated itself the other day as I had ...

Re: Sudden drop in range :(

In addition to the other replies the other factor to consider is the outside temperature. Has it dropped below 14/15 C? Makes a big difference in my experience.

New We Charge app in car - what is the point of it?

The new We Charge app was successfully downloaded and installed to my ID.3 on Wednesday, and it seems to work well and if you select a charger and then 'navigate to' it immediately integrates with the car's Sat Nav and will route you to the charger. All good and always happy to have something new an...

Re: DAB+ radio in ID-3?

I think the ID.3 brochure from Dec 2020 says DAB+. See attachment... Ah, thanks for this. I was looking at the spec. VW gave me with my quote which just says DAB. My car was already at the dealer in Dec 2020 so may have been manufactured earlier with just DAB, or perhaps the spec. they gave me with...

Re: DAB+ radio in ID-3?

I believe any DAB radio built since around 2013/14 is DAB+ compatible. Not that there is any real need in the UK as the DAB+ stations are few and far between and there is not real noticeable difference in sound quality, especially in a car with only front speakers. Thanks - that's what I suspected.

Re: DAB+ radio in ID-3?

The spec. for my First Edition bought in Dec. 20 says DAB not DAB+. Does anyone know if that is correct? Is there anyway to tell when using the radio? Perhaps more importantly would I really notice a difference in the sound if it had DAB+ and is it possible to upgrade to this if it is currently DAB?...

Re: ID3 Software Update v2.3

I am hoping to be proved wrong, but having to apply two separate updates totalling several hours just for a few tweaks to the infotainment system and a bit more use made of the ID light sounds pretty underwhelming to me. Or am I missing something?
