Good start
I have subscribed
See if you can do something about stabilising the image whilst filming. Watching on a 55" this one got me dizzy. 👍
Thanks for the video
Thanks for all the info, my Life is having the update next week, did you manage to set departure times at charge locations? Or as you suggested is this not available on the life?
Next software M2.1 is said to bring OTA update feature and Tesla like charging stations nav. Speak slower, get a proper gimbal or place cam. Good infos though.
yeah how fast was he speaking!!
Finally someone who speaks my speed. Always way to slow.
About parking heater. You need to conntact your VW dealer again to get this funktion. There is license code that needs to be downloaded to THE car.
you have 1-side AC unit it requires additional software upgrade to support the preheating timing
Lot's of confusion around on 0783 so beware people. Some dealers will only apply if your car has a fault (as VW will apparently only pay them for the labour if the install is due to a fault). Install can takes days or week especially when "modules" fail and need replacement. Not all functionality appears to be available to all cars (probably the hardware issue again) post upgrade. Responsiveness is better (it's awful on 0564), as is boot up time. 2.1 with OTA is probably March at earliest (hence why ID.4 delayed until March) and then you'll have to join the queue to get upgraded. Most dealers can do 1 car per day if there are no installs issues of 0783. They sold 3150 cars in December, not sure how many in total in 2020 but it will take a while to get through the fleet. Most people seem to come out of 0783 with a better experience but there are some horror stories out there. For details check out speakev/forums/vehicle specific/vw/id.3/sofware update 2.0
Meanwhile my model 3 is updating fortnightly, not that it matters, neither car is going anywhere under lockdown. Nice hardware, awful software. Hopefully they get it fixed fast and owners can enjoy their cars as intended.
ME2.1 rollout actually started yesterday, according to my VW mechanic the update takes about 6 hours. And updating the car doesn’t require any supervision, so depending on how well equipped your VW dealership is, they can flash 6-12 cars at the same time.
@@lorenzmuller4000 ah interesting thanks. Dealers in the U.K. have 1 machine per dealer, so 1 car a day. We’ve also seen hardware failures that require nee parts to be shipped to the dealer. One guy has had his car in the dealership for 2 months. Hopefully 2.1 solves a lot of problems and missing functionality but personally I think there will be more bumps along the way.
Yes VW now a dedicated VW.software team working on fixing issue and also working on VW OS for future cars which all brands under VW will use and customize only the UI.
@@lorenzmuller4000 My car now booked in for the 11th March for 2.1, fingers crossed.
@@malcolmhedges7346 Good luck, the first OTA update is already announced for this summer btw :)
Alex, what version of Android do you have on your phone. I can't get mine to connect wirelessly.
Cant you use the unlimited ERS mod to increase range?
Hi - picked up my id3 today and the infotainment system is horribly laggy, most noticeable when swiping between the main screens or dragging down the shortcut menu . It's was updated to ME2.1 by the dealer before collection. Yours looks far smoother and lag free... any suggestions/ideas?
Thanks for the video.
Has it got the heat pump?
Sadly not :(
As for the route planning: ABRP on Android Auto will be a game changer. It already works for Apple Carplay.
It’s very basic on CarPlay, sadly
@@Will-dq4vh but it will probably be updated and improved.
You're fortunate to have had the 0783 update. I've got some issues with my Life model but VW won't do an update for me (I'm on 0564). One really annoying issue is my lights. If I put in manual mode, even in daylight, the dipped headlights are always on, they won't switch off. Even in auto mode it has to be very sunny before all lights go off. The strange thing is I was in standing traffic the other day and put the lights in manual mode, pushed the sensor and dipped and side lights went off, but as soon as the car in front drove off the lights came back on. It's so annoying other drivers flashing me because I have dipped headlights on in broad daylight.
I'd be interested to know if any other owners have this issue.
For VW to update you have to report that you have software issues to your dealer and tell car is not usable so you get priority for the manual update or wait for 2.1 update this month.
would the infotainment be a dealbreaker if you were considering other non-tesla evs?
Did the garage contact you for the SW update? We are still on the original and can't do charge schedules so cannot take advantage of off peak electricity unless I trigger it manually at half midnight.
I contacted them
You can turn the heater off by pressing the fan icon on the left, it'll slide all the way down (just below the auto icon).
Is that not just fan speed?
I think you are at Edingswell Close, Hele, Torquay
you should probably use usb cable if you want the best possible sound quality. For the car does not support the best Bluetooth Codes? . as LDAC or aptix HD
could the departure time need you to be plugged in to set it?
Sounds reasonable, but should be a text to notify about it really.
Seems like a lot to for the A/C stuff. Shouldn’t have to go thru a bunch of menus to turn the heat on.
Alex, in general, despite software problems, would you say that the ID3 is a good buy at the moment? With further updates, hopefully over the air, it should get better? I'm planning to buy the 'Life' version later this year. Above 'Life' version they install black side windows, which I don't like. Maybe I'll go for the Skoda version!
Don't do it, it's a failure in engineering, I'm so sorry I trusted VW to deliver a decent car, there are things I like though, the car is like designed by 2 teams, one that knows how to build cars , the other by millennial hipsters that only ride bicycles
Driving is great. VW knows how to built a car. You feel the quality of the hardware while driving. Autopilot system is a revelation. LED lights are great. Every day handling including recharging is simple. Software 753 currently works ok and reliable but still deserves some work. OTA software updates will fix that.
Check out skoda enyaq. Seems better than ID4.
Yes wait for the 2.1 update and they check some review vidoes after the update and buy a ID3 with the latest update so you will have OTA from start.
Good video - lots needed info, but please, buy a tripod. My wife was getting seasick with the cam bobbing back and forth.
Got plenty of mounts, but some videos are better hand mounted!
When you navigate using AA or CarPlay do you get turn directions on the DRIVER display or does it just say CarPlay or whatever. Thanks
When using CarPlay and Apple Maps you get turn directions on the driver display as well. Haven’t tried other combinations yet!
@@leecomley674 that’s brilliant. You are the first person to tell me that. It would be good to know if it works with Waze and Google Maps too 👍
@@MiniEggs1999 It’s also on the HUD, which is awesome if you don’t want to take your eyes off the road.
@@lorenzmuller4000 As it should be. it is SO much safer just moving your eyes down rather than having to move your head. CarPlay turn directions have been there since iOS9 and until now only Renault had implemented them. I'm glad it is now in the VW group latest systems. As of iOS13 it can provide a full map for a driver display so hopefully we will start to see those soon on cars with bigger screens that normally show an OEM map and not have to wait another 5 years
The app Works fine , you need to set your charge location when you are plugged in and set a time to leave within the car , the will show on your app on you phone then , I am using a iPhone
Do you have the Life model?
I have the 1st
Same software 0783
I'm thinking it's not a feature I have on the Life, but I'll try setting a charging location :)
I can tell you that there are apps and websites for charging posts that show charging stations that Google does not show
Woah ... please slow down a bit. Don't think I could be bothered with an id 3 ..... still seems to be too many things not working properly. Why on earth did VW not include a heat pump as standard. Thanks for the info.
The heat pump apparently doesn't help much in UK weather.
It just doesn't feel right when you're right handed using the screen with your left hand. Feels so unnatural.
sorry, my tesla is no way as good as android in the in car interface, if only I could use Android Auto. Watts Up now works with apple car play and hope android auto won't be far off
can you not use 4G instead? I think it's better. I do not think you will find so much WiFi in the countryside
Does the ID3 have a sim card built in.
I’m sorry, but calling a company that wants you to swipe through icons to turn on the wipers ”a leader in car interfaces” is just hilarious to me.
if anyone is considering to buy a exspensive ev then at least buy the best in the world and get a tesla they are at least 10 years ahead of the best ev out there
still looks to be a work in progress and not thought out properly pretty poor for VW a rushed product. VW Need quality developers but probably already realised the best in Silicon Valley already work for Tesla. Huge debts and cost cutting is showing trying to manage a fossil and EV platform at the same time.
Tesla has issues with panel gaps VW has issues with software which can be fixed so no big deal. VW is not going bankrupt anytime soon they own most of the car brands of Europe. And i think they did a good job with their first EV. Only the software seems glitchy which VW has already mentioned they are fixing.
There are a lot of good software developers outside Tesla and even a decent number outside the US. e.g. Tesla's user interface uses the Qt toolkit which comes from an European company.
It feels like polishing a turd
