It’s definitely generating a QR code. When I scan that, the VIN appears in the app. Is that what you mean, or is there a different QR code?

No, that's the one. Once it's generating that code, it's connecting with the VW servers.

Just wondering, has anybody managed to get alloy wheels on their ID.3 Life model?
Don't like those steel wheels at all

That was one of my car's failings. It took a new ICAS 3 module to get it to produce one.

Cant you register via a QR code in the infotainment? Maybe that would work better since the car generates it?

Worth a try anyway. It was how I did it with the dealer.

Same here, wasn't looking to change for an other few months but the finance pushed us over the line.

See the golf we traded now on there site and they are not making much on it compared to what we got for it so didn't get too screwed on that end either.

Can you add it online on myvolkswagen. Don't know if adding here first might make it appear on the app.

My mum's took a few goes to get registered, mine worked first time. It seems very unreliable, try it after a while and you can also try moving the car if the signal is bad in your area

I wouldn't worry too much, IIRC it was day 2 or day 3 before mine worked. Has worked perfectly (If a bit lacking on functions) ever since, for nearly 9 months..

Same here. Lost an hour going round in circles on this this morning. Can’t see anything I’m doing wrong at my end. Only picked up the car yesterday evening, maybe there’s some activation needed at the VW end that hasn’t happened yet?

Maybe, got mine yesterday aswel!

I'll try again midweek

Is now a good time to buy an ID3? I’ve been researching and apparently VW refresh / update cars in the middle of the year usually so I’m wondering if now is a good time.

Any ID car ordered now, and for the last good few weeks will be the 2022 model. They start producing them when the factory gets going again after the summer break. That's next week, so any cars not yet built will be 2022 models. They'll have different features, like area view.

The thought is that the new software, 2.3, will be on the new cars from next week and that there'll be an OTA update for existing ID cars. All speculation, of course, but not long to wait to find out.

Has anyone here got a regular base model id3? How do you find the reversing sensor thing ? I used a rear view camera car once and loved the comfort of being able to see that angle, but it's a pricey upgrade on the id3 sadly.

I have a base 1st with no reversing camera. Thought I would miss it, my last two had one, as does my wifes' Ioniq.

In the ID.3 you sit quite high, with good all around vis. Side back windows are quite large as are the mirrors, so the blind spots are less than many cars. And the sensors all around seem to give accurate warning.
So at this stage, I don't really miss it. But most of my driving is rural where you would probably use one less. However VW should have included it in all models.

If you want to use the cars data plan you have to pay for it. It’s done through this crowd...

Not sure what the refresh cycle is, but I'd imagine it's in the region of 4 years for 'facelift' and maybe 7/8 years for major stuff? That being the case, I don't see any significant update for at least another couple of years with the ID3. (Basing this on our experience with Skoda over the past few years, but maybe VW work on a different timescale?)

We Connect ID

Going round in circles with this for the last hour. Can’t seem to get past the screen after selecting country of residence. The VIN is correct and the car is in online mode. Tried uninstalling and reinstalling the app. Is this something I’m doing wrong or is there some sort of “outage” at the moment? All I’m getting is “please try again”

Yes I'm having the same issue. Thought it was just me.

might not even be the battery truth be told probably wrong diagnosis. Probably just the easiest thing to replace rather than removing modules updating firmware etc.

Be interesting to find out for sure.

Probably just a single module failure, or something wrong with the BMS or battery electronics

Unfortunately garages don't repair parts anymore, they just swap them out for new ones and send the old ones for refurbishment. So they won't open the battery pack, they'll just order a new one

It probably makes sense from a cost and quality point of view, better to have the battery repaired in a proper facility by qualified engineers. But it does mean that for parts in short supply you'll get stuck

Haven’t watched this whole video but it explains failure rate and how it’s more likely in new cars as well as much older cars.

If you close your port cover and press it behind the hinge is there much movement in it? I'll try get a video of mine later.

It's either that or a piece of the boot trim hitting off the top of the rear window.

I placed some foam behind the the charging flap and the rattle is still there. I will try the plastic trims around the boot glass next.

The HV battery needs replacing. All 58kWh of it.
They've never done it before, they've no idea when parts will arrive.
I'll be contacting them again on Monday to walk away from that car and into something else unless some miracle happens and they magically arrive with a new battery in the next week but thats unlikely as VW HQ haven't given them any ETA on tools or parts.

Tis what it is.

The issue is the HV battery is sealed and the garages won't open them to fix anything, they'll just swap it and send the old one back to VW for refurbishment

Swapping the battery should be fairly easy for the garage, you just need to put the car on the lift, unscrew the battery and then lift the car up. Battery gets left on the floor

As you say they've never done it so are probably being extra cautious
