IMO VW definitely shouldn't invest its time in useless games before everything else just works and is responsive.
I'm certain they have multiple teams with their own tasks to priority - for example "Games/Innovation/Improvement" team don't do bug fixing. Just a guess...
@@TheRockDK well they bloody well should.. Idiotic to put games on the main screen.
Finally VW remembers to use dash screen for the driving data! That is the huge thing, so innovative 😆
The way the IDs should have been from the launch.. Let's hope these roll out 2022 and I can resume "not bashing VW" at every chance I get. 😁
I love that you show how the software works. For an old non-techy person it's sooo helpful. Plus listening to you chuckling at the win is so funny 😁👍
Great review, cheers Chris. 👍 😊
Thanks for the video! Looking forward the updates!
Really nice! I'm glad to see they're adding new nice features. Hopefully they will roll-out the software update to the rest soon.
Wish they would add a function to set the desired regen intensity, or at least regen up to a full stop, so one pedal driving will be possible. Fingers crossed for that one 🙂
Yes, this would be a great thing to be able to customise in B mode. :-)
Now you can select which charging stations you want to see but you cant see them 🤣
Gotta be honest... After waiting for over 8 months now, I'd be very happy with an ID.4 with version 2 software!
Nice having someone who knows the system inside out 😀 Thank you for the update. There still seems to be some lag on the display and I’m Not sure why you need games via the front display (maybe a useful option for rear seats).
Hey, Meshuggah! A man of culture I see
Oh wow, charging power in kW! Amazing! My e-Golf doesn’t even tell me the battery % 🤪
Meshuggah. Nice work my friend. ❤️
Ummm, Meshuggah in the Spotify playlist?!? Chris is a BEAST!!
Love all the improvements but we’re yet to EVER receive an OTA in the USA. I’ve owned my ID.4 for 12 month and same glitchy, bare bones infotainment. Thx for the preview and glimpse of hope we’ll see this in America some day
This looks like some proper usable software with things which were just completly lacking. The driving information in the driver screen just seems so wow to me know, but when I think about it, it was a massive miss and dissaster not having it there in the first place. The rest of the software looks good, the charging in kW. Ahhh if there is one thing the software need just one it was that.
I was here for the update and then I saw "MESHUGGAH !!" 😱❤
Thanks for the early view of the new software. This is a huge improvement! It also looked like it was not lagging that much, did you find that to be true? Keep up the great work.
Well played VW. Good Job and respect. A huge step from the older Versions and we will see what VW did in 2-3 years.
Great update but knowing VW, this will be released in 2025 or later. Hope that’s not the case. Awesome video!
LOL YOU KNOW that's not the case. What are you smoking? 2025? LOL don't be a clown
I believe that these updates will be released when Chattenogga comes online.
I would be curious to know what processor VW uses for the infotainment system on ID models
For cars that have the augmented stuff enabled, the whole speed screen could display something more. Like full screen cruise control etc.
I think VW has to make a new model year of all ID lineup and upgrade the infotainment processor to something significantly more powerful, at least 50X, so they can on one side smoothen the system, and also enable new experiences/features!
Second that
It’s just bad software. They should instead optimize it to be 50x faster. It is unbelievable slow for how simple it is visually.
Your video’s are always helpfull
Very good information!
Ahhhh, the trip meter!🤩
Good review thanks 👍🏻
I just FINALLY got my MY22 from Germany after a year wait. I am thankful though because it came with 3.1 already. I am sort of glad I did’t get the First Edition now since the US version have gotten no updates.
Looks promising!
Awesome Viedeo 👌 THX
Hi Chris! Danke für‘s Video. 👍
Das die Ladesäulen erst ab einer bestimmten Zoomstufe zu sehen sind, stört mich auch. Da muss VW etwas nachbessern. VG
Hope they bring this to the Born soon as well!
Thanks for sharing! I am a ID4 owner in China. The car is really amazing which drive comfortable and controllable than Tesla. I am so appreciate that the new system will be applied soon.
YES! I want this today. I stopped at the trip computer in the driver display. That is it. Stop developing, I don't care. I just want that! NOW!!! Please VW, hurry up!!
It looks great… I look forward to getting it on ab Aero B wagon…. 😅😹🤷♂️
Thanks Chris for showing this update , I like it only the stupid games ..NOT 😆, but the bidirectional charging and also the instrument cluster are 👍
Greetings from the Netherlands 🇳🇱 👍🇩🇪
OMG.. FINALLY!! that small instrument cluster becomes usable, with information I need to see while driving.. NOW i can consider to buy Eniaq or ID4... just curious - WHEN this will be available on cars.
Ausgezeichnet! 👍👏
Great to get the trip meter in the instrument cluster! Bu why can't we get it to the nearest .1km instead of only whole km 😐I find that useful when you pass a sign saying e.g. rest area in 1.6km, then I know when to expect it. My Golf had that...
Also e.g. speed limit valid for the next 300 m sign...
My Europe Finland 2021 ID4 (1st edition Max) is now getting SW 3.2 installed
OMG!! that touch screen looks like something from mid to late 90's
Great!
hello lovely person. I'm wondering what version we'll be on when I get my ID buzz in 3 years time :-)
I got the update yesterday
One awesome feature is hold on
Thumbs up for Meshuggah! :-)
As an ID.3 1st Edition owner I commented 8 months ago about VW just making things work. On Thursday we are finally getting v3.1 (I booked in for v3.0 ???). I have no idea what we will see from all that you went through but please, no silly games.
Where do we make suggestions for future releases? My 2017 Passat navigation had Elevation data - would be useful as Electric cars take more energy going up and generate more going down.
Do you know if the screen behind the steering wheel remembers the last used configuration between starts?
I always hate having to reset that to my preferred view on each and every drive!
No, it's the same
Thanks for posting this. Here in the US, I just dropped off my 2021 ID.4 Pro S at the dealership for a battery recall. They are also going to install the 3.1 software update. Looks like there are some cool new features that I’ll be getting. I wonder if all of the features you wipe will be on the USA update, anyone know? I also noticed that your touchscreen is far more reactive and fast, which is nice. I’ll have my car back at the end of the week, so hopefully it’s all good.
So when is it due for release to the fleet of VW vehicles globally? VW are just too bureaucratic being such a goliath of a car company, they need to just get these updates released forget going through the 18 layers of red tape internally to get it to the customers. As someone else said 2025, I'd say 2028 possibly as it will take that long to clear the red tape hurdles internally.
Meshuggah - This is crazy
Tidal is missing from the store, hope they add it before release
Best Video ever!
☺️
Thanks for sharing the future of what's to come here in the US. We don't even have 2.4 yet. My guess is that we won't see this new update until the new Scout 4x4 brand gets launched here in the US
We don't have 2.4 either
@@BatteryLife Didn't you mention in another video some cars have to get updated at the dealership for 2.4 before getting the OTA 3.0 update? (Obviously 3.1 after) I have an ID4 pro S AWD. with software 0792 (v2.1) the only ota update I've received so far is Navigation Database from v20.7 to v22.1
@@BatteryLife Meshuggah 🤘
How exactly can you filter by charging station operator? Can you only choose IONITY or also other charging station operators such as EnBW, Fastned or Allego?
I have not received 2.4 update yet and we are already talking about 3.1
Any chance that we’ll ever get these updates in the United States? We’re still at v2.3 and have been told about updates coming for over a year.
Looks like a nice update, but did they fix the long distance navigation so that it only selects >100kW chargers and it let's you arrive at a charger below 10%
No
the next thing is to make the UI refresh at 60hz, it's really sluggish looking. but it's probably a weak cpu/gpu behind all that stuff.
@battery life, how does the auto park work since US versions of the ID.4 do not have 360 cameras? Does it rely on the proximity sensors?
You need a newly built car with extra side sensors
now some good old fashioned buttons again for temperature (instead of those sliders) and soft plastic on the doors and then it starts looking again like a VW like it ought to be..
nice!
WOW! VERY nice, but I'd like to know two thing:
- does Apple Music app support the "lossless audio" format or only the standard "AAC" audio format?
- Can I use VW voice command "Hey ID" to ask to play a playlist/specific song/specific artist on Apple Music/Spotify ? Are they integrated?
If it's not like this it should be!
No idea
What about navigator feature of considering travel rode slope? Is it included in 3.1 or still lacking? for travelling on mountains it is mandatory....I am exhausted to be forced to use ABRP....
No weather or elevation change included
I only have this ID.4 for another 3 years... At VW's current release velocity I may not see this.
😂
It could be worst. Imagine you bought a Tesla with FSD! 😂
@@mantabletin935 Haha, yeah, it's so bad having a car that is fully functional with actual decent routing, Superchargers, way faster, way better interior, way more updates, lots of features, a system that doesn't lag every other animation etc. But sure, not having fully autonomous driving is a real hassle. Imagine not having any of those features AND lacking any perspective on FSD whatsoever.
Thanks for showing us the future. Now to wait till 3122 to get the update in the US.
I have 3.1 on newly picked up 2022 ID.4 in US
Nice view! But charger map still useless - and why are they not updating existent cars? This is just sad.
What about scheduled charging, and battery preconditioning if you are navigating to a charger?
Scheduled charging works since 2.4
No preconditioning yet
@@BatteryLife has that be tested from somebody?
@@BatteryLife Thanks. It is hard keeping track, esp since everyone in NA is still stuck on 2.1 with no word from VW when any upgrades will begin.
Have they added an option to add a few km/h to the predictive cruise control? For example when it automatically sets my speed to 80 km/h according to the speed limit, I would like it to set it to 83, since it shows a little more than the actual GPS speed.
No
@@BatteryLife Thank you for replying. Let's hope they include it in one of the following updates...
Picked up a 2022 ID.4 yesterday in the USA and it has 3.1
Does it have the trip data in the instrument cluster?
@@BatteryLife yes, you can see two columns or one. One column has distance and mi/kWh, two columns also shows elapsed time and average speed. Since Start is at bottom.
Great updates from Cris. The ID family is always improving software and tools!
Always improving??? When? I have the car two years now, had ONE update with no big changes. The 3.0 update also adds hardly anything and it never arrives. The app on mobile phone is just horrible. The ID family so far is horrible at improving software and tools.
Cool video as always.
I got an ID5 and tried to set up Spotify. It is not in the VW app store!! The car is running version 3.2.
Have you any suggestions how to get Spotify in the app store??
Thanks
They removed it. Haven't seen it for a while.
Hi
Nice video, sounds very promising. Will we get it sometime ? I’ve heard that 3.1 requires a more powerful hardware?
Any news on when 2.4/3.0 will be finally rolled out? You are thinking about next weeks. Is it 2,3,or more weeks?
No hardware update needed for 3.1
@@BatteryLifecan you update at home or have to go to the dealer?
Will the bi-directional function suport V2L with a special plug? just like the one Ioniq 5 offers?
No
Sadly not exactly, Kia uses AC Bidirectional charging, VW DC, so you need a lot a converter in the case of the VWs.
1,5 month old ID.4 pro RWD here, no Spotify application in 3.2 software. This is only released to press car to make you buy it...
Hi, would you know what is the software version 3.0.3? This is becoming available for ID owners in Finland at least. Like for me having ID4 with 3.0.0 but can't find any info for that minor update anywhere.
Never heard of that
Ciao, sai quando arriverà in Italia l'aggiornamento?
Fingers crossed for fullscreen android auto and native youtube app
Need specific connectivity, not really interesting...
No, it is the same size. No RUclips yet
This looks like something they should have had more or less ready when the ID.3 came out right?
Which charging operators support plug and charge? Same as We Charge?
Some. Ionity, EnBW,...
Be pretty nice to even have 2.3, but alas I'm still stuck with 2.1 and the service center isn't returning my queries about a software update
Frustrating
Same here…
Did a poll in our FB Id4 owners club group. 75 replies, 2 owners on 2.4 and the rest of them are still on 2.3 or lower.. what takes vw sooo long to roll out… it’s crazy
No one has 2.4 yet. Not released yet. 3.0 is more common on newly delivered cars
My ID4 is two years old but I still haven't received 3.0 software. Is this the norm?
So still you need to know where exactly the Ionity charger is to be able to find it on the map...
It must be so easy to fix! What a shame!
You can search for it. Destination Ionity nearby
Plug and Charge has to be the biggest new feature here but you couldn’t get to an IONITY station to try it? Such a shame as I would love to witness a non Tesla just charge with no cards or apps.
One very useful thing, at least to me: I go back to my car very often after I park it. Why? To check if I did indeed closed the doors. It would be nice to be able to close them from the phone.
Sadly not possible yet. Hopefully soon.
About spotify.... what is the sound quality using the app?
I have a Golf 8, with the Harman Kardon System, the top Samsung galaxy phone, with Spotify Premium and highest quality downloaded files settings.......
1. connected via cable.... with Android Auto it defaults to a rubbish kbps and sounds awful.. no deep bass and the airyness (highs) are gone, which tells me it is using a low bit rate
2. Without Android Auto and via Bluetooth it sounds far better but of course I have to select the playlist or Album on the phone first.
3. What is the quality like, using the new Spotify App?
Many thanks!
I am Not an expert. Sounded the same as always.
@@BatteryLife pile of poo then? Next car BMW again. This excursion to VW Golf 8 was a mistake.
They'll probably find a reason why it won't work in existing cars.... And it won't arrive before 2024 I assume. So done with the Volkswagen software update policy. 😡
The app is also still downright horrible. It's really an embarrassing situation. Volkswagen software engineers must be deeply ashamed of themselves. Guess the few good ones left a long time ago, not wanting their reputation destroyed by this horror story.
Do u know when the software 3.1 available is for the ID.3?
No. Next year?
@@BatteryLife because a lot of VW dealers in the Netherlands are telling me that the update soon available but I’m not sure about that. And I thought when I saw your video about the 3.1 update that the update already available is but is not….
Looks awesome, can you please provide us the update file ? Its not working for me by air updating
3.0 starts soon. No date for 3.1. you can't get it yet
Any idea if this will come to cupra and skoda?
It will
Will bi-directional charging be available on existing 58kW vehicles?
No idea. Why not?
@@BatteryLife because VW said it will come only to the 77kWh ones :(
Any sign of them connecting the lightbar to google maps or apple maps. its a really nice feautre that shows turning but only seems to work with the built in maps
No, ar HUD also not
We are hearing that the ID.4 arriving at the US ports are being held at the ports for a software update. Do you know what this is all about or would you find out what is happening? Why hasn't the software been updated in Germany before being shipped if in fact this is the case?
No idea. Depends when it was build. Maybe 2.3 for north America wasn't ready when it was build.
Is there someone you could ask at VW? Maybe one of your contacts. Thanks. I appreciate your response.
Bi-directional charging on 58kw 1st Edition too?
No
Really? Why not?
@@BatteryLife To make you buy the more expensive car. 😜
@@abraxastulammo9940 except there won't be any if the supply chain isn't fixed
I am in Ireland with an ID.3 and I only have 2.3. Do you know what software we should be getting next and will it be over the air?
2.4 at the dealer
@@BatteryLife and 3.0 when?????
I am receiving my ID 3 next week. It’s being delivered with 3.0. Any chance I can make the dealer upgrade to 3.1 before it’s handed over to me
3.1 is still beta.
Upgrade likely OTA. When do you think it will be available
End of year maybe.
Thanks
I have the latest software in my Cupra Born.. bur Spotify is not available there, is this only for the pure ID cars?
Do you have the shop?
I have the "in car store" but there are only 2 options available there, the connect service and something else
I can't wait for id software 3.11, which will be better
Yes. 3.1 rules.
Bi-directional charging should be good
5:06 - where to find Spotify app in software version 3.5?
Only in the store if they provide it
