Travel assist has ACC from what I understand.

Lane assist includes ACC. You dont need travel assist for that, unless VW have changed that recently.

The lane assist though is amazing. Really. Made a huge difference to my commute.

Was having the car/internet connection problem this week , used the disconnecting and reconnecting Fuse 19 to fix.

Has anyone noticed that climate menu is not accessible when charging from ac (22kw charger in this instance). I presume its a new "feature" in 2.3?

jogdish · 24-10-2021 09:48PM

About to buy the VW charger, I can pick either 4.5m or 7.5m cable. Depending on what the electrician says when he starts drilling,

4.5m will easily do the job or probaby do the job with about 50cm to spare, assuming measuring with a 3core cable is comparable, but slack and give in the cable is hard to know.

Clearly 7.5m does it either way. But 7.5 is more cable to 'hide' and wrap up.

Any opinions from people who have chargers and having cables to manage?

fits · 24-10-2021 09:56PM

We need the 7.5 one but it would be nice if it were shorter when wrapping on holder at 6 am.

Have a 5m one which means we have to reverse the id3 into drive to charge, a 7.5m cable would have allowed charging in either parking configuration. Unfortunately 7.5m wasn’t available on WallBox when I installed. If you want flexibility go for longer cable.

My understanding is that ACC is completely independent from Lane Assist and Travel Assist and is not part of either of these systems. Cruise control is a separate functional system to lane monitoring and utilises radar as opposed to cameras (for lane monitoring).

Some of the German forums have owners who are able to access the car. I’m not sure what they’re using (will ask).

There’s a guy who is trying to get Travel Assist working by changing the setting on his car (didn’t come with Travel Assist) and he thinks a software hack/update will do it. I thought you needed some additional camera for it but he seems to have it working .

Mind you, he did replace his steering wheel for another VW with actual buttons so he must know a thing or two.

sounds like you need the longer cable as you don’t seem to have much to spare. As you said, you need slack otherwise it will be pulling on the charge port.

you can wrap some of the longer cable around the charge point so you are only dealing with the amount you actually use and as someone else said it gives flexibility on being able to park the car nose or rear in... that was my main reason for buying the longer cable as my wife won’t back the car in!

Are you not supposed to unravel the cable completely?

KCross · 25-10-2021 01:02PM

https://www.boards.ie/discussion/comment/118070109#Comment_118070109

No, you don’t need to.

you might be mixing it up with the need to unravel an extension lead fully when using a granny cable in case it overheats and melts... not required on the tethered charge points.

Here is the full description of We Connect Plus services that will be available to ID owners at some point in the future, though not all services will be available in all territories.

Had an unfortunate day yesterday. Decided last minute to go to glendalough so I went out to car to load it. car hadn’t been touched since Friday so when I opened it was greeted by a horrendous smell. a piece of fish from the market had been left in over the weekend. It didn’t leak or anything but car smelled bad. We aired it out for a few minutes and brought out some coffee beans. Stinky car still preferable to stinky diesel. Set off with 80%. Glendalough was mental of course. By the time we got parked took kids out we discovered one needed a complete outfit change and in the fish hoohah we had forgotten to bring the changing bag.

back into the car and headed for Dunnes in cornelscourt to buy a change of clothes and went for a walk in cabinteely park instead. Both chargers there were in use. We had 40% ish left and one more stop to make. We could have made it home but decided to try public charging at kilcullrn services. 5 minutes there and we had plenty to get us on our way again.

car performed well for an unplanned longer journey fully laden. Delighted with the range of it and ease of use tbh.

and yeah it was a rubbish day but we all got home safe, sound and well so that’s the main thing.

Sorry just skimmed it, but is that definitely available for ID owners?

All of the app mentions seem to refer to the we-connect app. Not the we-connect-ID app.

You’re quite right, it refers to the We Connect Plus service in conjunction with the We Connect app. It’s hard to imagine (though not impossible!) that they won’t roll out the We Connect Plus services (as opposed to We Connect Start) on the We Connect ID app in the coming months. Maybe with car software revision 3.0?

rx8 · 26-10-2021 09:57PM

There'll be word about the 3.0 update next week 🤫. Embargo in place until 3rd. November

fits · 27-10-2021 07:02AM

Feck I suppose we better sort out 2.3

Bif · 27-10-2021 08:15AM

Another query for the ID3 owners! What is your strategy for punctures? I have always had a spare wheel. Not sure what to do…the car has Goodyear self sealing tyres (up to 5mm?). Should I get a spare wheel of some sort (takes up limited space) or some puncture repair kit in case I get stuck somewhere?

rx8 · 27-10-2021 10:01AM

Did you not get the kit with it?

There's a compressor and a can of gunk... I'm going to hate to have to use it, but hopefully it'll get me out of a hole if I need it.

I did have a screw cause a slow puncture some time ago, and I had that fixed. Last week I got the low tyre pressure indicator again, but I know it's sometimes caused by a change in temperature. So when I checked the pressures and reset the system it sorted it out.

Don't think the cars with 19" wheels get a repair kit. The tyres are supposed to be "self sealing" on small holes. I 'd like to have a back up plan though!

https://www.boards.ie/discussion/comment/118078979#Comment_118078979

I have the 1st edition,with 19" wheels. I got the repair kit and I have Goodyear self sealing tyres. Maybe drop in to your dealer and look for it. Should have been included.

Billydoc · 27-10-2021 01:33PM

Put a deposit on a brand new id3 today. They have the life model in stock and I should pick it up next week. They were saying March/April next year for a 221. So I decided to get a 212. Any recommendations/tips re home charger, charging… driving style, (I found the b mode strange during the test drive), anything advice about the car really!! I’ll take everything on board.

Make sure you get a charging cable and granny cable with the car, they should be standard but they sometimes get nicked from showroom cars. The granny cable will be your charger until you get a home charger sorted

Make sure they load the latest software onto the car in the garage. You can check it in the infotainment, if it's running the old software then don't hand over the balance until it's updated

B mode is most useful for town and country road driving, most people seem to prefer D for motorways as the car will glide when you lift off the throttle

Other than that, enjoy the car, you've made an excellent choice 😁

Did someone order a nothing burger? 😬

I shouldn't be this cynical but I don't want to get hopes up before the feature list gets published

best of luck with new car! I use B on back roads. We have a zappi chargepoint but would look at any one that has scheduling functionality eg eo mini pro ( electric ireland can install ) or wall box pulsar plus.
