VW ID.3 V2

Mine came on 5.2. This was def a quiet / stealth update as I didn’t get the usual notification nor did I need to leave the car idle for it. The only reason I know I’m on 5.4 is because of the change to the login screen - had no other reason to check.

Don’t think it’s just the white lines, it’s that the grey (area) lines are missing too.

Yeah that's what I was thinking. The grey border is not there either.

Maybe it is what VW are calling area view, I would have expected that to be 360 camera like others.

I had thought that too but the models without the grey border also seem to have sensors there??

I just noticed on my own this morning that when I initially put it into reverse I only had the front and back grey lines (like the picture) but they all appeared shortly after. Maybe it just needs time to initialise.

So, that explains why one picture has it and the other doesnt.

That’s correct.

Very interesting- just to double check does it say 5.4 software on your system? A friend has an ID3 and he had the car in for a service issue and the garage said they would book him in to update the software to 5.4. I was scratching my head on this - I assume that they were doing it as a little extra as he was waiting a good while to get the car back. Am on 5.2 with the Born and was looking forward to getting 5.4 on OTA and thus stop jabbing the screen every time you start up - I know, sad isn't it! with little improvements.

Thanks for this. I remember when I had the ID3 a few years back the OTA process was a bit of a struggle on a number of occasions until we got to 3.1/3.2. From your experience it does look like the 3.4 update will be quick and straightforward. 👍️

Nothing like the 3.2+ update, had an older ID3 also.
This didn’t change much though whereas some of the 3.x updates were pretty significant

When you get IQ drive you also get a capacative steering wheel which isnt on the cupra. Its brilliant if you use travel assist a lot and tbh travel assist is the reason you consider the option in the frst place.

Seems there is another software rollout about to begin with VW for cars that are on v4 or later.

If you are on v4.x you have to go to the dealer for the update to v5.6. Another multi day effort! Sigh!

Lots of improvements from v4 though so worth the effort id say.

If you are already on v5.x it should be an OTA update to v5.6.

Some improvements in travel assist feature if you have that and bug fixes.

If you are on v3, I think you’re stuck there.

I’ll believe it when I see it but I’m happy enough with the software at the moment, but I am on v5.2 already.

Hi

Just looking for some advice.

Going to look at a 202 reg. VW ID.3 this Friday.

It will be our first EV if we purchase it.

Private seller.

He states it has only approx. 30,000 kilometres on it.

Is there anything specific that I need to look for on these cars re software updates etc.

Any help would be greatly appreciated.
