VW ID.3

Yep, this is how it should be. Actually the OP on the speakev thread I quoted earlier has posted an update saying that VW is going to replace the battery. I hope I will get the same treatment.

Hopefully it's sorted quickly for you. What has your dealer said?

Actually I don't know if anyone have noticed by the recent OTA fixed the issue with Android auto not displaying the route guidance on the drivers display (only the distance). It used to happened to me on the road between Bloomfield and dunkettle. At least some bug fixes.

Mine went in this morning and at the moment the App is showing 0km range and 0% charge. It was charged to 80 % last night. I was told that it could take most of the day... I told them that the loaner wouldn't be going back to them until tomorrow morning at the earliest anyway as I'm working until 9pm. They gave me a tank... (A VW Caddy), it's horrible to drive but at least it's free.

Anyone who has had 2.4 installed, did the navigation also get updated?

I think the latest version is 22.6

I called them about my update last week and like you they told me they had issues with the update and were waiting on a fix from VW

Customer communication really isn't their strong point - based on my experience at least! I find the same with VW in general compared with other car brands (and their dealers).

Currently on day 3 of our 2.4 update. Car has been in since Tuesday with the dealer. Apparently the update comes in 4 parts for them and parts 1-2-3 installed correctly part 4 is causing problems and they are currently trying to resolve. Software and updates don't seem to be a VW strong point. Hopefully we will get the car back tomorrow.

Its some dose with the ID3, repeated software update issues, battery swap outs, phone calls, emails, dealer visits, and thats over almost 2 years, since its been out. And at least a year of issues, Is it becoming a pain ?

i understand some teething problems are inevitable and understandable, but this series of issues, seem to be dragging on for quite a lengthy period

Mine went in on Tue too. Got it back today so into the 3rd day. And VW Germany have it down as an 8hr job apparently!

I think it is partly down to the speed of the internet at the dealer. If they have a poor connection it takes an age. I don't know why VW don't allow them to download once to memory stick and then update the car directly from the memory stick. Maybe a security concern or something.

Its not that big a deal. Any of the 1st edition owners knew when purchasing that the s/w was only beta and I don't know about everyone else but I had to sign a document to say that I understood that before they'd hand me the keys.

I have the car nearly 2yrs and apart from one or two glitches in the first few months the car has not let me down. Drove it the length of France a few weeks ago. Not a bother.

The promise from VW now is that with this v2.4 update the rest of the updates will be OTA (although they did say that before!).

The biggest gripe outstanding for me is that the in-car charging timers don't yet work. v3.0, which is due in the next few weeks, is supposed to fix that. If they get that right the software issues are fully resolved in my view.

I disagree - for people still to be experiencing issues almost 2 years down the line is unacceptable. Appreciate that not every 1st owner has had issues but there is a sizable proportion that did and there are several examples (in the UK anyway) where people had their money refunded, although admittedly that was within a few months of taking delivery of the respective vehicle. Indeed I believe there is a post on Facebook on the Irish EV Owners Association as well.

I cannot recall having to sign a document acknowledging that the software was in beta.

I wonder did @mad_Lad get his updated at dealer yet. Haven’t booked mine in.

So I have my 2.4 update, so tried to do timed charging. As a test I did the following:

Car is at 65%, today Friday. I went into charging ->location and set up a once off to charge to 70% on Friday for a departure at 21:30. I did this at 6pm, not repeate just once. Plugged the cable in, and it didnt charge immediatly, fine, and my app says waiting for departure time. I waited and nothing, went out into the car and checked that charging routine, and its gone - literally just not there.

Two questions, have I done something wrong, does timed chraging still not work in 2.4?

Anyone wire a timer on the feed to the wall charger to get around the lack of timing on the ID3 and the Zappi

Looks like a 40 amp contacter and a 5 amp time clock would do it?
