Anyone know if the ID-3's standard infotainment system supports DAB+ (the newer DAB format for improved sound quality)?
Thanks
DAB+ radio in ID-3?
Yes. It specifies DAB+ specifically in the price list.

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?
Thanks

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.

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 the quote was wrong.
As others have pointed out may not notice much difference either way given the limitations of the sound system and only front speakers, but thanks for replying.
