    Do you have to activate it in the infotainment?



  • Registered Users Posts: 4,563 ✭✭✭eagerv


    I had the ID.3 but iiirc you had to set it up first on the lights menu? Could be wrong, memory aint great..

    Edit..Beaten to it😊



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 368 ✭✭Liam2021


    It all depends on which model you have. There is no auto dimming lights on the life version. Not sure how far up the models you have to go. My id3 first edition has it and all you do is flick the stalk forward until you get the white logo on dash with auto

    I think allianz do the same. That's who we're with, but about 16 days into our temporary transfer plus maybe a day or 2 from earlier in the year.

    Check your Aviva/motor policy for the PC12A clause, it should be standard enough but the dealer will want to see it to confirm it’s in place. They just hand you the keys and off you go.

    After a week you tell Aviva you still have the loaner, provide them with the reg and value.

    Not sure what happens if it continues for longer then 30 days , you’d have to speak to Aviva and the dealer at that stage.

    Had a positive conversation with a service technician today. So far the car is making the right noises. Fingers crossed for Monday!



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 8,877 ✭✭✭micks_address


    Hi folks,

    Anyone with headlight auto dimming.. I was driving last night and had it on. When it sees an oncoming car should the symbol change from blue with the A to white? And fully dip the lights? That's the way my Tiguan worked but with the id4 it didn't change but I could see the lights dipped a bit? The oncoming car didn't flash me but I don't want to be blinding cars either..


    At some points it did dip the lights fully and the symbol changed to white with the A letter..

    The lights on dark roads are amazing.. I'm just not sure about the auto dimming

    Thanks,

    Mick

    If you have the IQ lights (Matrix LED, look like eyes from outside) then they dim the portion of the light beam which point to the oncoming traffic. The rest of the high beam will stay on. Standard LED light will revert to low beam once the oncoming traffic is detected.



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 8,877 ✭✭✭micks_address


    Will the symbol on the dash change from blue to white?

  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 12,142 ✭✭✭✭the_amazing_raisin


    It'll change to white when the lights go back to dip mode


    When the matrix lights are adjusting for other cars then it'll stay blue with the A symbol in the middle

    If the symbol is blue with no A then it's manual headlights and won't adjust for oncoming cars


    If you're in automatic and want to go back to dip only, then push the light stalk forward to go to manual full beam, and then pull back to flash the lights. That'll reset to normal mode

  • Registered Users Posts: 948 ✭✭✭Rusky rusky


    Tbh, I only had the car with matrix LED for 6 weeks and never looked at the screen when the dimming was in action. On my car with basic leds it does change from blue to white with A symbol.



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 8,877 ✭✭✭micks_address


    Thanks so it works different to my Tiguan.. I'd have expected drivers to flash at me if I was blinding them.. the matrix lights are cool when you change from dip's to full on a dark road.. some lights



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 12,142 ✭✭✭✭the_amazing_raisin


    Yeah I'm a bit paranoid that I'm blinding other drivers, but no-one is flashing their lights at me so it must be okay


    I do switch them off at junctions sometimes as I think it's a lot easier to blind other cars then


    They're brilliant lights though, the width of the beams is fantastic and I feel like I can see everything around the front of the car

    Hi all, I placed an order for an ID.4 Life on the 20th Sept'2022.

    I'm wondering what the real world wait time currently is on delivery to Ireland,

    Thanks in advance.



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 12,142 ✭✭✭✭the_amazing_raisin


    It can be very short if you manage to get a cancellation. If you're flexible on what colour or trim level you want then it's best to let your dealership know, they might ring you if one becomes available

    "The internet never fails to misremember" - Sebastian Ruiz, aka Frost



  • Registered Users Posts: 178 ✭✭id.4 fan


    I went for the basic base trim Pro, moonstone grey colour.

    Dealer told me it could take anything from 3-6 months but I'm hearing horror stories from different people who ordered other brands of ev cars waiting over 1 year for their cars to arrive!!!!



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 12,142 ✭✭✭✭the_amazing_raisin


    I think you can be reasonably confident of getting the car within 6 months. Keep in touch with your dealership and when you get a build week then things should get a lot more accurate

    This question may have been answered multiple times already but its to do with the range on the ID4 Pro (77kW). We only have it a month and most trips are short trips but we did a few long trips which needed a charge along the way. But whenever we charge to 80% at home the given range then varies from 330 to 370km. But should it not charge up to 80% of the 500km range given in the specs. Or is there some calculation in the car based on your previous journeys.

  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 4,198 ✭✭✭Buddy Bubs


    Yes, correct, it uses previous journeys and probably temperature to calculate expected range.



  • Registered Users Posts: 178 ✭✭id.4 fan


    I've been told by a few dealers that in reality the ID.4 range is 400kms not whats advertised by VW.

    Maybe true on a perfect day weather wise and driving like miss daisy.

    So charging to 80% equates to 320kms.



  • Moderators Posts: 12,390 ✭✭✭✭Black_Knight


    500km isn't a guarantee, it's an estimate VW have cooked up under certain conditions. Short trips are harder on range. Cooler temperatures are harder on range (your short trip used some battery warming the cabin, and batteries are more efficient at warmer temperatures).

    The range displayed is more indicative of how efficient you drive and the range you can expect based on your driving.

    Did anyone else notice this screw on their driver door? It looks as if it was screwed in incorrectly and forgotten. On the passenger door there's a rubber cover 🤔



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 12,142 ✭✭✭✭the_amazing_raisin


    Yeah the GOM (Guess O Meter) bases it's range on things like driving history, outside temp and cabin temperature

    Well, more accurately it looks at the consumption over recent journeys and calculates the range from the remaining battery charge


    It's a bit of an open question as to how much historical data the GOM uses in its calculation

    In general shorter trips are bad for consumption because you're heating the battery and cabin up every time. The latest software should fix some of those issues

    FWIW, I think around 350km is what you'd expect in winter from a full charge, probably over 400km in summer

    So.... What should 2.4 look like in the system information screen? I know it should still say 2.3.0, but what software version should it say? 0912?



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 12,142 ✭✭✭✭the_amazing_raisin


    Got a quick picture for you. Can't remember anything changing from 2.3

    Also got a good shot of my bald head apparently 🤣

    "The internet never fails to misremember" - Sebastian Ruiz, aka Frost



  • Moderators Posts: 12,390 ✭✭✭✭Black_Knight


    Oooo, first time seeing/noticing the bigger "max" screen. Nice.

    Looks similar to mine. Update done, apparently. Good to have it back



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 12,142 ✭✭✭✭the_amazing_raisin


    Yeah the big screen is nice, although it does make the graphics look a bit more crappy.

    Android auto looks good though so I'm guessing it's whatever tortured graphics engine VW are using which is making the screen look bad

    I haven't noticed any difference with 2.4, except I got my first maps update in a while shortly after getting it

    what software is coming with new cars? getting mine this week - trading in my id3 first



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 8,877 ✭✭✭micks_address


    I got version 3 with my July gtx. Question on Google maps... Does everyone else get painfully slow input lag when typing in a destination via the infotainment screen?



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 12,142 ✭✭✭✭the_amazing_raisin


    You mean the inbuilt satnav or android auto?

    If android auto then I wouldn't say it's painfully slow, but I've noticed the connection between the phone and car can lag sometimes and slow down the typing

    I've actually found the voice controls are pretty decent in android. I even tried giving it a destination in France and it managed to decipher my West Brit accent 🤣

  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 8,877 ✭✭✭micks_address


    Android auto.. plugged in or wireless.. trying to input a destination typing takes like 2 seconds for a key to respond..



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 12,142 ✭✭✭✭the_amazing_raisin


    Hmm, I have noticed it wasn't great, but I don't think it's that bad on mine. I'll give it a go tomorrow and see how it is

    "The internet never fails to misremember" - Sebastian Ruiz, aka Frost



  • Moderators Posts: 12,390 ✭✭✭✭Black_Knight


    Anything with a build date from week 50 2021 is coming with v3.0.

    Same, though that could be the phone also.

    So I had a bit of entertainment with my ID. Back brakes decided to lock on while i was doing 100kph on the M50. Lots of smoke. Not so much braking power.

    Guided it off at the N7 exit and had to get it towed.

    entire brake assembly including the hub has to be replaced.

    Just something for other owners to be aware of.

    Ffs that is terrifying and not what I wanted to hear



  • Registered Users Posts: 641 ✭✭✭TheWonderLlama


    The towing guy was telling me he is towing nothing but VWs at the moment.

    One dealer told me they are not taking bookings for anything other than VW warranty work through VW connect. They have enough work for months.

    Kind of worrying.

    What year is your id? Hopefully it's not going to be a widespread issue.



  • Registered Users Posts: 641 ✭✭✭TheWonderLlama


    last year. 211



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 7,230 ✭✭✭pad199207


    First time I’ve heard of that and yes hopefully it’s not a widespread issue otherwise the drivers and VW itself will be running into serious problems.



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 368 ✭✭Liam2021


    Ahh I'm 212 so hopefully it's not widespread.



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 12,142 ✭✭✭✭the_amazing_raisin


    Out of curiosity did you get the 2.4 update recently?

    Mine's the same generation, so bit worried 😫

    There aren't that many people here complaining about ID cars breaking down, so maybe the issues are mostly with ICE cars?

    Still, something to keep an eye on

    "The internet never fails to misremember" - Sebastian Ruiz, aka Frost



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 1,472 ✭✭✭cannco253


    Did the ID light go red before the brakes came on?

    Did you have ACC on by any chance?



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 2,122 ✭✭✭hold my beer


    I have had absolutely no problems with my ID4 1st edition and I've had it 18 months



  • Moderators Posts: 12,390 ✭✭✭✭Black_Knight


    Meh. If you were worried about every issue you read on here you'd never buy any car, nevermind the id4.

    Rattles in the rear, rear brakes locking up, infotainment randomly failing (audio, Bluetooth, Android auto etc), cars going offline for days/weeks, updates taking days or more, MCU replacement, door latch replacements). How many has your car had? How many issues do you hear any other car having!?



  • Registered Users Posts: 641 ✭✭✭TheWonderLlama


    Nope, its getting the 2.4 update while its being fixed. I would suggest you ask them to check the brake assembly when its in for servicing.
