Haven't had this issue, but this morning when maneuvering forward into a parking spot I got too close to the curb and the brake was so aggressive that I thought I had actually crashed into it. Not complaining, since I expected to have to replace the bumper, and instead it was all dandy.

All the best

Think I've found a solution. As per my post above, I knew I'd seen it somewhere!

So, when you're reversing and the camera display comes up on the main console, you also get a little setting icon (cog wheel) come up. I don't think this is ever accessible from anywhere else - no wonder it's hard to find. Anyway, if you go in to the setting menu from there, there's an option to disable braking when manoeuvring. I'm pretty sure this will solve the issue but have yet to properly test it. Would be interesting to hear other drivers' experiences with this setting.

This is a standard feature in modern VW ICE vehicles. My 3 year old has it and it is accessed through the infotainment system to turn on or off. I tried it out one day with a carboard box. And it braked or not braked depended on how it was set up in the system.

I'm new to VW, so this was a bit of a find for me. I'd love to know where the setting is in the infotainment system though. As as said, I've only found it when the the reverse camera is activated.

I've still got a little while to go to take delivery of my ID.3 so my info is from my Tiguan with an MIB2 infotainement system and the new MIB3 works in the same way but I don't think the menu functionality is the same as on the ID.3

Irrespective of whether Auto Hold is enabled or not...?

Don't know about that. It would make sense if this was independent of autohold but given the sometimes bizarre logic I'm coming across in the ID3, don't bet on it!

I have this problem and tried the setting you mentioned. Didn’t work for me. My issue is getting in our garage. With stuff at the back of the garage, the ID3 just about fits lengthwise. Reversing with my previous ICE car and just slipping the clutch, worked fine. Now we have this automatic, it’s far too intelligent for itself. I end up jerking backwards until I get to the right point. PITA!

Mine wouldn't let me reverse past a long dandelion growing in the drive. I think it was trying to shame me into some weeding

I have experienced this. First time, the abrupt stop meant that I thought I had hit something, although I was several feet away from anything else. My own view of these assistance systems (at their present level of flakeiness) is that they add an additional burden to the driver. I am sure that will change, but right now that's my view. I am sure I am also going to be told, that even the current systems are safer than human driver, that insurance companies love them, yada yada yada ;)

What I find strange about this is that having done the cardboard box test the car doesn't brake when there is an obstacle behind anyway... which I find most odd.

When you select reverse the infotainment screen displays the part assist screen. Select the three dashes or settings symbol on bottom left of screen. You will be presented with Manoeuvre braking option which can be disengaged. Looks like it resets to on so you will need to repeat when you restart. Works for bike rack
