VW will support software products for the “lifetime” of a car—up to 15 years

So we may get v3 up to 15 years after the ID4 is no longer in production! What a relief! /s ;) As part of its development services to Volkswagen’s automotive brands, CARIAD provides operational services, updates, upgrades and new releases as well as bug fixes and patches relating to its hardware- an...

Re: Everyone has heard of them but nobody has seen one...

@Oswaldblue Strange how you were able to place an order for the Family trim back in Feb 21, when only the 1st Edition trim was available when I ordered mine the same time. I recall the Family and other trims were announced in April that year, and by then it was too late for us to change to the Famil...

Re: Declining Range

Well if it's of interest to you, there's a good write up here on how WLTP figures are calculated: https://www.electrive.com/2022/05/23/how-wltp-range-is-really-calculated/ On the one hand, users of electric cars experience in real life that they can achieve the ranges from the digital brochures when...

Re: Declining Range

You'll also note that in traditional ICE cars, your mileage figures (mpg) will also drop in winter but no one seems to complain about that. In winter, colder air is denser thereby increasing aerodynamic drag on your vehicle, especially when driving at motorway speeds and tyre pressure decreases in c...

Re: Android Auto - Upcoming updates

Finally saw the new 'Coolwalk' interface kick in this morning, and it looks good so far. For anyone waiting, you'll need to update to Android Auto 8.8 as well as have Google enable the interface for you in their back end servers. They've been doing a phased roll out so if you don't see it yet, you'l...

Re: Error parking brake is active

ID3 sister forum had a similar topic recently https://www.id3forums.co.uk/viewtopic.php?f=8&t=2380
Both users who had a similar problem had to have their car looked at by dealer/garage unfortunately.

Closed the app and tried again just now and it looks like we're back to normal with the regular scheduled programming.

Re: App ‘memory loss’

Yup, seeing it now. I'm being asked to select my country and language - but it's defaulted to Germany, and there's no UK / English in the available options to select. :roll: Haven't tried going further, waiting to see if it will sort itself out overnight. @AndyF like you said, might be something has...

Re: Another recall for my ID.4

Someone mentioned the battery recall the other day but I can't find the post now (search function in this forum is not working). Anyway, some information here: https://www.autoevolution.com/news/volkswagen-recalls-10000-id3-and-id4-units-due-to-cell-defects-199757.html There isn't a VIN lookup but i...

Re: We Charge

If I remember correctly I think I went through the app to set up the account and get the RFID card. Maybe try checking your details of your VW account on the VW website (vw.co.uk) as perhaps it's defaulted to Germany? Otherwise you can try emailing we-support@volkswagen.de and hopefully they can sor...
