Very impressive how Volkswagen has optimized the Software.
As usual a great deal of information gained from an excellent presentation. It takes a great deal of work from you to provide such excellent informative presentations, much appreciated, thank you 🙏
I'm the owner of a 2021 ID.4 1st Edition in the USA and I'm very hopeful after watching this video. Thank you! I'm excited about the improved route planning.
Man, that all looks great. Even if I don't have the fanciest park assist, and lane changing cruise control. That improved route planning and preheating the battery on AC will be GREAT for next winter! :) Assuming we get this update in the US before next winter... My ID4 Pro S AWD awaits it! :)
Excellent overview of the new features. Thank you.
These are very good new functions, congratulations to VW!
(Sometimes I am very critical to car companies, but this is a great improvement. And therefore I really want it write it this way).
And thank you for this video!
(And for your other videos too of course!)
Still following you my friend but have finally lost my patience and cancelled my ID3 Max Pro Performance order. Ordered 7th July 2021 and most recent update is a July build but not guaranteed so an Autumn delivery at best. Thankfully my lease company had pre-ordered some Borns and I've secured one of these for a July delivery (V3 in Quasar Grey with 20" Hurricane machined aerowheels)...haven't lost my enthusiasm for EV ownership and will be counting down the days until July!! Keep up the great work....
HI, Chris, that was spot on, thanks.
Hello, you can select the charger (like Ionity) while you are in the navigation. Select a Charger on the right and the Setup on the left bottom. There you can change a lot of options related to the charger. Nice info BTW. Looking forward to the update.
But most important is the Battery strategy in winter.
King's Red looks great, I'm looking forward for the delivery !
That battery percentage information is worth the upgrade alone. Glad to see VW is making progress, now they "just" need to produce more cars!
we should be able to check if car is locked or unlocked from the app we connect.
Gracias por el resumen.... que lejos sigue de lo esperado por todos....
Thanks for sharing, Some nice updates! I’d put a deposit down tomorrow if the ID3 was available in Canada.
Las rutas respetan los PDR que se meten a mano como favoritos? los usan en las planificaciones? Algo del modo plug and charge?
ID.3 owner here, so thanks greatly for the update on 3.0. Yeah, it’d be nice to get hardware over the air as well as software, but clearly it’s not realistic, and 1st Movers like us absolutely have to know that being the 1st doesn’t mean getting everything, like the first gen iPhone people or the first to buy laptops. We’re the Guinea pigs, but I don’t care - I have a great car, it’s a major jump from ICE and mostly, I actually have one instead of waiting a year (and my resale value is super high, so I could trade up easily if I wanted to).
I like the idea of memory seats, makes the wait seem worth while
really good video! I hope, my Enaq 2021 will get all the same features
Thanks for the video! I'm really looking forward to the new route planning!
How long did it take until the destination arrived in the car? At the moment i usually have to wait a day or more 🙃
Same
Grazie mille chris👍..attendo il 3.0...specialmente per sapere con quanta batteria arriverò alla destinazione impostata😁🖖
Thanks Chris. Some useful info there.
You triedsending a destination whilst you were sat in the car but it didn't respond. If I'm sat in mine and send a destination it responds virtually instantaneously but sending whilst outthe car is rarely successful.
I like it a lot that the first generation of ID.3s are now starting to become "old cars". That means I may be able to afford one in a few years.
Great video!
Thanks for the video Chris, well done! Which Id3 trim level was it by the way? Unfortunately we only get the 58kw Active Pro Performance available right now for sell in France
Pro Performance
Thanks for comprehensive video. All looks very good and promising. Question is when will we get it? It’s been talked for months now about OTA update 3.0 and rang my dealer last week about 2.4 and battery swap and they know nothing about it :)
ID.Light is really nice, I hope they implement more features
Thanks for that! Did the destination appear in the Navi after all and in a decent amount of time? With 2.3 it seems to happen randomly. I got it immediately only once but on every other occasions many hours after sending when I already was on my way.
It did not arrive until an hour later. Then I did not drive the car anymore.
This was interesting, especially to me who's still waiting on car being built, I'll miss the fun of 2.1 - 2.3 - 2.4 changes. Great Video
me too, have a tour on order (likely one of the last as you can only order a very base spec now with small battery and no matrix headlights) dont think i will see my tour in 2022 though :(
Hello, thank you very much for your intensive approach on the ID.3 it helps a lot! I’m a bit confused, the ID.3 has 360 degree camera? Where is it?
Since summer 2021 cars are built with it
I just got my 2022 ID.4 in US. I have most of these features already, that makes me happy. I wish they offered the id.3 here in the US.
The US doesn’t seem to have a Shop at all. That would be nice if they added it.
Getting my tour pro this week after 8 months of waiting,hope it comes with the software already installed.
Looks really good. Regarding seat memory. Will this apply for normal/older electric seats without the memory buttons on the side (together with massage button) as well? Such as the seats in CUPRA Born.
I don't think so
Great video.
Not sure if I understood the part with the sensors at each wheel. Is that something you get or are they already there if you already have travel assist?
Is it possible to have travel assist installed, if it was not already installed from the factory?
Only cars built from January 2022 and ordered with it have the side sensors.
No, hardware is needed for travel assist, you can't buy it later
That’s just too much man, glad I actually just get in ours and just drive it. We use Hypervolt, no need for any onboard faffing
Hey Chris, great video. When you changed the profile it moved the seat position. Do you know which ID3 trims have this feature? As memory seats are supposedly not available on any ID3 so I'm wondering if this is enabled in 3.0 or if it's a new trim.
They have memory seats now. You need those I think.
@@BatteryLife thanks Chris! Appreciate the response. Do you remember if the car had the physical memory seat buttons as well?
Huh, I had gotten the impression that it *would* preheat the battery if you explicitly navigated to a charging station and that this was need to ensure max. effect. I've only tested speed charging once and didn't bother with navigation. I got 53 kW on a station that could deliver 150. SoC at arrival a bit under 50% and I had driven 20km in 80/100/90 km/h shortly before arrival. Is that expected?
I guess the name in the new profile thing will appear in the instrument cluster if there is only one profile. When I get at the moment it says "Welcome driver", which has always felt like a placeholder text where they would expect to put your name at some point.
Thanks for the infos! Do you have any information about the ID.4 X outside the Chinese market?
Sorry no
So all those changes should be available for the first edition ID3? Even with the 3.2 now.
Just found your channel and watched the 3.0 update video. Well done and I like how fast you flash throug the menues, not spending time on old functions which have not changed. I subscribed your channel and thanks for your video.
However, I have not found any information you mentioned that the GTX will load with 170 kw/h
Have you got any more details about this, I‘m ordered the GTX with all optional packages but delivery time is 🥵
GTX has a different battery. 170 kW peak charging with 3.0 software
Oh, never used the in built navigation as was just so slow, always used the android auto. Is there any changes there do you know?
Might have to give it a go if it's handier for charging stations than searching in national charger apps (Ireland) then manually putting them on my Google route before I leave
No changes
There’s some new interesting stuff, like profil, this is nice 👍
But as 1st Mover I still found deeply frustrating to be leftover regarding Park Assist Plus and all the thing done with the additional sensors…
I assumed to maybe have defaults by getting a 1st Edition, but not missing parts…
This is really annoying to say the least
Exactly. It feels like the owners of 1st edition are being left out. A nice thank you from Volkswagen for putting our trust in them when they needed it most. Thank you and you get nothing. Muhaha. Volkswagen = evil.
I complained about it, they didn't even bother responding. I love my ID.3, still do. But my next car won't be a Volkswagen...
But we got socks and a glowing USB cable, what more do you want? ;-p
@@der_gali I only got a cheap ass VW umbrella ? 🤣
@@kayz-art SAme situation here. Thinking of filing a complaint, my car should get the same SW, I have the Assist package!
I have those electric massage seats, but there are no memory buttons. Do we know if user profiles would enable memory function?
I doubt it
Does this one already have the 'improved interior' which they were talking about already some months ago?
No
Hi Chris,
great video. One quick query on scheduled charging. Is it possible in 3.0 to schedule charging at preferred time e.g. 0:30 - 04:30 AND have my car preheated before leaving for work. I am currently only able to achieve this using the Charger software and NOT the in built VW software. I am on software version 2.3.
Many Thanks
Simon
Yes, it is in the video ;)
Thanks Chris, just reread my comment, I wasn’t very clear. I was wanting to charge at cheap times in the early morning, (e.g 0:30 to 4:30) then say 4 hours later (8am) have the car pre heated - do you know if this is possible? This wasn’t quite covered in the video. Thanks again Simon.
Hello Chris,
I’ve had a look everywhere to see if optimised battery use setting should be enabled to help improve range…. But I can’t really find any info on it, apart from you briefly mentioning it.
Could you let me know if you recommend having it turned on? And if it effects the range at all?
Thanks,
Miles
You mean in the app? That has nothing to do with driving. No range difference. I explain it in the video.
Hmm so do the sensors come on cars with travel assist? Trying to work out what this means for my enyaq
Cars being built right now have them
Does real life consumption improves? In Diess ID5 video, we can see a 17 kw consumption. All I can do with my ID4 is 17 to 21 kw, depending on the road/weather.
No change there
Great video 👍 how did you manage to have dark mode in the app please?
Phone forces that on apps
super~how outstanidng , catch you later~:))
Hi we are in the UK, have noted in the media it’s stating we have to take the ID3 to workshop for the 2.4 update in addition they will install a new 12v battery, when calling they are not aware of this update. Can you assist in when the UK is getting 2.4 ? Did you have to visit the workshop to get it installed ? I have a life model pro 58kw version - thanks
This was a presscar. 2.4 is delayed. Soon we all get the update at a vw partner.
Hi, I also have a 1st edition (10/2020). I don't have travel assist, do you know if there will be an option to hire it for that version? Does it have the necessary hardware? thanks and congratulations for the channel
Travel assist needs hardware
@@BatteryLife thanks
thanks for such good information if you could help me what is the APP you use that has such good options
thank you
We connect id
Scheduled charging with prefered time slots seems to be unchanged compared to software 2.3 where I‘m already using it extensively.
Does not work properly until 2.4
Thank you. Great material!
Questions:
Do we still need to zoom A LOT to see an Ionity charger on the map?
Do we still have to see all the slow chargers? Or can we select only fast or supper fast ones?
Same, no filter.
@@BatteryLife :-( Shame, such a low hanging fruit...
Thanks.
There is a filter for ionity. Use the setup while navigation. Press on a charging point an then on the Setup (left). Saw it in another YT video and checked at the car dealer.
@@olaflanfermann7343 i don't have it in my id4 ver 2.3.0
@@cez8017 it is upcoming in os 3.0.
Do you have an Information about what the HW number is? This ID.3 says H30, until now every ID had H20. Is this affecting the functionality after the Update (except the ultrasonic sensors)
That is hardware version. Newer car, newer hardware
Have you tested the OBDeleven if it is still working on 3.0?
Not tested, but no reason why it should not work.
Great vid. I see they have softened Lane assist but do you know have they made it so that when I turn it off it stays off? Currently every time I start the car it doesn't remember I turned it off and comes back on. Very dangerous on Irish roads.
Regulation! Has to be on.
@@BatteryLife thanks, wow, that is crazy and dangerous! Especially considering it can be turned off. I'd rather buy a car without it then!
Is it true that all new id's built from April 25th will have light up controls on hot and cold heat button
Not that I know of
Nice review :) I just bought used ID.3 1stMax ProPerfomance, waiting for it to come from DE. From pictures I can see info about soft : ID Software 2.3.0 , Hardware :H20 , Software :0912 . Is this the newest version ? Thanks 😊
So it is last soft update version ? 🙂
I collected my pro s 20th Dec 2021 and it has all round vision cameras but doesn't have the sensors right at the wheels , I assume I won't get the park assist etc
Correct
I think volkswagon are going to have a world wide riot on there hands very soon if not already
Is there any option to turn off dynamic road sign assist? This feature does not work well in Ireland. I know it’s a problem with the way the road system is setup here but it’s a major pain having the car detect the speed signs on off ramps.
Of course, always has. Assist, acc, speed limit preview
Same, wish could turn it off and it would stay off. Always just turns back on after each time the car is turned off, maybe as a 2 switch setting, off and permanently off. Very annoying for us folks on narrow Irish roads on West coast, even worse when road works! Just a list of stuff to fiddle with before leaving home.
Do you have issues with it picking up speed limits from overpass. You could be going 120 and suddenly the car tries to drop to 50/80
@@eoinwalsh3716 No that hasn't happened to me - thankfully. only issue is when passing slip roads on motorways the car tries to slow down to 80Kph from 120Kph (doesnt matter which lane I am in). first time it did it I thought the motor had died as it does it so fast in regen mode.
@@kmcaff360 seen the same issue as well. It was a WTF moment the first time it happened
You don't happen to know if the Cupra Born is gonna get a software update similar to this in the near future? Guessing how it's basically the same car with just a few tweaks I do believe it won't take too long, right?
It will, but not all features.
Is this going to be an over the air update or will the garage have to do it?
2.4 garage, 3.0 ota
Canadian ID.4 electric vehicles were delivered with the original 2.1 version of the software. No official word from Volkswagen Canada when/if we will ever get OTA updates to 2.3 or 2.4. Rumours from the US suggest maybe this summer, but very poor communications are in place for Canadain ID.4 owners.
You will get OTA this year
I’m still waiting for 3.0. Is there anyone in the uk still having the issue. Contacted the dealer they said I have to wait for VW to contact me.
Can you confirm if the scheduled charging actually works this time..it’s the biggest issue I have with my car and Very frustrating..great video 👏
I think so
How we can check id4 manufacture year and month, there is nothing show on the car body and paper works.,thanks Chris.
The dealer you bought or ordered it has a code that should show the manufacturing date
Can I adjust which signs to appear in the navigation? (eg. construction sign, do not enter etc.) Can't find a button in the settings. Thanks.
You can use a few things. In the navigation settings.
I’d love to get rid of all these no enter signs in the navigation. But where is the button for that?
Do you know if phones can be attached to a user profile? Would be great if it tries to connect to a specific phone under each profile. Thanks!
I don't think so
@@BatteryLife That's a shame. My wife an Android and i have an iPhone and it takes a long time to switch between them i find.
Does the app send notifications to your phone once it has finished charging when you are at a public charger? Thanks
I did that before too.
Thanks for sharing, one big anoyance is automatic bend braking, which always comes back after I leave and reenter the car, is that now fixed?
I don't know what bend braking is
@@BatteryLife sorry, automatic braking in corners
How to add a New Profile. I tried on our ID3 (with software 3.0) without luck. Does it require its own WeConneceID account? Thanks for all your videos 😊👊
Yes it does. Guest or different we connect id accounts
Hello, the model is an ID3, but what version? Because I have the ID3 Pro Max version and I have the full equipment except the heat pump but I don't have the side wheel arch sensors.... I have the Travel Assist and the front sensors but not the wheel arch sensor. Do you know if the Max model is ready to add those extra side sensors? Thank you
Sensors cannot be retrofitted.
@@BatteryLife What version of ID3 is the one in the video?
Did my Update today an everything works except if a door is open it will not shown in the app. Any ideas?
Watch my install video "last video" there is a tip in the end 😉
But many of us who have owned an ID3 for well over a year still can't get this software. Does VW ever expect us to be able to download it - or even get it installed in a garage?
I don't understand why the route planner "range at arrival" slider only goes up to 100km, and why it's in KM and not with the SoC like ABRP. I might want, for example, to arrive at destination with 70% SoC remaining! Also, this slider shouldn't be hidden in settings, it should be easily accessible when planning the trip, and also by clicking on the destination icon on the trip preview when the trip is already planned, since for different trips I might want significantly different arrival SoC!
Thanks for your vids. I'm waiting for the update. Can i force the update somehow? I would really like to get it ;)
Sadly no
But can you just get in the car and start driving directly? or do you have to wait until the main screen is fully booted?
You can just go.
Hello! I'm looking forward to have 3.0 on my id.3. Built in navigation is terrible and I need ABRP or other APP to travel.
That doesn't change that much in 3.0
@@BatteryLife 😰😱😱😱hello! from what i have seen in the video in comparison with 2.4 the navigation and the use of charger looked much better...or not?
Any new information when we get 2.4 and then 3.0 in Germany?
In a few weeks. 3.0 later
Send a Destination for me regularly takes more than a day until it arrives in the car. This is useless if not ariving within a minute or two. Might have something to do with the provider/network VW is using.
Does the ID 4 ProS with gradient package for the US have park assist?
That's a 2022 versions.
I am talking about the 2022 ID 4 . Sorry about the typos. I was using speech to text.
If it is build now and you ordered the Assist Package. Model 2022 is being built since summer 2021
The “user selection“ window does not automatically go away on my screen either. Does anyone know a solution, or do I just keep pressing “ok” every time I start the car?
It will stay there for the next few versions. It is a law decision because of the shop.
You mention that ID 4 GTX will get 170kw charging? I have only heard 135kW before. is 170kw really correct?
GTX has a different battery.
Looks more responsive
Just got 3.0 on my Enyaq, battery heating now happens on DC but still nothing on AC
Interesting.
My ID.3 Pro peaks at 135Kw (factory installed 2.3) :)
You have a new one with new BMS software then.
@@BatteryLife I know, that's why I wrote factory 2.3 ^^
I only have update 2.1 2.3 i can't get. How can i get 2.4 fast in the netherlands??
When VW releases it and your dealer contacts you.
To make me use the integrated sat nav VW has to do several things:
1. Better traffic data with real time information and re-routing
2. Better UI with nicer map colours (Google maps style, not 1990s style)
3. More fluid map scrolling
4. Point of interest integration (very complete as Google Maps)
5. Destination forwarding from the phone using the "share" button from every app, as Tesla does
6. Battery pre-heating integration
7. Better route planner with more options as ABRP
8. Real-time charger availability informations and rerouting
9. Charger stop planning based on statistical data to avoid charging stations that are often occupied
10. Real-time suggestions on the instrument cluster on the optimal speed to arrive at the next charger
11. Speed control infos with crowdsourced data also on mobile speed controls
12. Opening times for businesses and alert messages if you route to a place that is about to close
13. Calendar integration for auto-routing to next events by connecting it directly with Google Cal/iCloud, separated for each driver's account
14. Ease of parking at destination icon like Google Maps and proactive suggestions on underground parking options
15. Integration with parking payment system to pay for parking when at destination with few simple clicks from the infotainment
16. The route planner should take in account every possible variable like temperature, elevation, weather condition, wind, battery temp, driving style, battery health, air pressure, HVAC system and so on
VW is not a software company, they will never be able to develop a navigation component that can compete with the likes of Maps, Waze,... Instead they should focus on better integrating and collaborating with those third parties and for example allow an external app via Carplay or Android Auto to read the state of charge of the vehicle and consumption so that app can use that data in order to calculate stops along the way. It's still a bit of niche right now but as more electric cars get on the road I'm sure Waze, Google, Apple,... will implement features concerning chargers etc
@@DeckAndBlackerDJs you can already use ABRP App using an Bluetooth OBD-Dongle within Android Auto. With this ABRP can work like an integrated Navigation System reading the car data
What model id3 is this?? Ours doesn’t have 360 cam
You have to order the Assist Package that includes that
Hi Chris, any idea when we get 2.4 and then 3.0 in Ireland?
Soon. Same time as most other countries
My Car also has this screen where the initial user screen will not go away. Any ideas on how this might be resolved?
It won't. This will sadly stay for a while.
@@BatteryLife thanks from r getting back to me. Actually knowing I can't do anything about it makes it better, it's annoying but I can stop looking now!
Thanks
What is the video length ??
I have to leave for home at 17u00
20min
@@BatteryLife perfect 👍🏻
Do we get user profiles in the US? 🙏🏻
Yes
Realtà? They will improve the charging speed on the pure performance 45kwh???
Yes, I made a video
Let me guess.... The 360 camera is only for new cars, right? No retrofit option either?
That is available since last summer.
@@BatteryLife Really? I got mine last Spring. I have the Tour edition with full extras and the Top-Sport Plus interior. But it's the 4-seated one, which I feel like VW has forgotten that exists.
Teslas are getting new features for how long? More than 5 years I think. And VW already adds features unavailable to early supporters (like the auto lane change and auto park, my car doesn't have the extra sensors)
Drove 800 km over Easter with the ID.3. I tried the VW navigation 6 times in Germany. It always had a worse route then Google maps had. We always compared and it was always the wrong route or sending us directly into slow traffic. Yesterday he thought the autobahn was closed, but Google said it's ok. So we drove anyway and the autobahn was only closed for the other side.
So for me the navigation from VW is not usable sadly. So at the moment I use Android auto and use the search option in Google maps for chargers. Not perfect, but at least I arrive at my destination 😉.
Battery preheating should be a button or it should also work with Android auto, as long as the navigation is so bad.
I agree about the quality of VW navigation. 😐
@@cez8017 same on skoda, it insists on directing me to the nearest 7 kW charger when there's a bank of 50 kW chargers further along my route 😏
Does the app show if windows are open?
No
what is the point hyping about rumors months and months in advance? ID.3 first movers will be lucky if they manage to update to 3.0 by winter.
Exactly what you are stating. Had enough of VW. Today terminated my contract (lease) because car remains with many faults. First time VW rider, last time VW rider.
@@AlanTov lol.
12 volt battery to start with. Oké this is fixed in more recent updates. But then; timed charging does not work, cockpit display is flikkering yellow/blue at certain points. Very very slow infotainment as compared with other ID.3s. Then VW promised regular updates, the latest I received is older than my daughter of 8 months.... As a cherry on top; VW releases new software 3.0 which is not fully compatible with the 1st editions. E.g. VW stating thank you for bending over as being a beta tester, no fuck off.
@@Freakie1NL In my ID.3 PRO life scheduled charging is working fine with 2.3 already.
The 3.0 is fully compatible with the 1st editions and VW promised to release regular updates for 2022, not for 2021. I don’t have any problems with my ID4 with software version 2.3 and scheduled charging will be added with version 2.4 next month. Not bad for such a cheap car in my opinion, no other car offers OTA updates in that price class.
@@lorenzmuller4000 it is compatible, but it's lacking features due to missing hardware. And last I checked we are living at the end of April 2022 and still no update. VW delivered incomplete products so yes they provide OTA. That scheduled charging is working for some doesn't mean the feature is working for the total population. Such a fundamental feature...
I've noticed this car has a foot rest! My ID3 is from 2020, UK model - anyone else with missing foot rest? I basically have just the carpet which is not great.
I have it
@@BatteryLife must be a UK thing. Same with the glove box: it's only half as they didn't bother to move it properly.
