Re: User profile functionality

Profiles are there so each driver gets their settings โ€“ like seat position or climate control preferences. You can switch to a shared profile, but sadly, you canโ€™t fully disable that screen. The system is designed to recognize you instantly ๐Ÿ˜Š I think you missed out the word "badly" and I ...

Re: Software OTA Update 3.7

Mine went OK. Like a few others have reported I had some weird things happen with the doors, but they resolved and now the car is back to normal. I have to say I'm really impressed. From V2.1 to 2.4, 2.4 to 3.0, 3.0 to 3.2 and now 3.2 to 3.7 it's really been a major achievement to deliver each of th...

Re: User profile functionality

It's purpose is solely to annoy the people using it as far as I can see.

Re: ??ID.4 Voice Control Not Connected Error

To be honest, even when it's working I've never been able to get it to navigate to a landmark. It usually just picks something random or claims that what I've said doesn't exist. I had to turn off the "hello id" feature as it just kept on activating. I really don't understand why auto manu...

Re: Octopus Intelligent Go - always charges when plugged in for a few minutes

Yes - that's normal. I think Octopus compensate you for it - or take it into account with the low intelligent charge cost. Remember it's a very small amount of electricity that is transferred during the handshake.

Re: User profile functionality

It seems to have no benefit whatsoever. Allegedly the last update added memory of mirror and seat positions (if you have electric seats) to the user profile, which then makes sense.
It would make more sense if the profile tied to the key as well as not blocking use of the app.

Re: A couple of problems

On mine if you don't pull the handle properly or pull it too soon after stopping, it does this. Re the headlights are you in dynamic mode? The lights are very bright and light up the whole world unless they detect light in which case the LEDs switch off to leave a darkness circle around the approach...

Re: Advice on what tariff and home charger to go for a Volkswagen ID4 please

Another vote for Intelligent Octopus. .
Make sure you apply for an Electroverse card as well (it allows you to use some fast chargers at a discounted rate and the cost is added to your electricity bill).

I use a Zappi with my ID4 and it works perfectly well.

Re: About to buy a ID4

Not really. The test drive is just for you to get a feel for the car. When you move the drive selector switch it has two modes "D" and "B". I found the "D" mode a bit unnerving as the car doesn't really slow when you lift your foot off the accelerator. You may find that...

Re: Charging on Intelligent Octopus Go Tarrif

You definitely need to check two things:- 1) That your charger is compatible with Intelligent Octopus 2) That it's been set up properly. 3) That your smart meters are working properly in smart mode. I had a similar problem initially (I have a Zappi) but Octopus were able to do something their end th...
