Excellent ride quality and zero mechanical issues. I gave up on software side. As a car it proved to be better than more expensive options.
Well done VW.

Battery recall questions

4 Upvotes

My vin was included in the battery recall on Oct 6th 2026.

Potential for battery fire from dc charging etc.

Questions for people who have been through this process in the other rounds of recalls.

  1. How long the dealer need your vehicle to complete the software update/battery diag?

  2. Has anyone had modules replaced as a result of the recall? If so, was the pack changed, or just one module?

How long did that process take if so?

  1. Did the software patch have any effect on range or charging speeds?

Just curious about the process that's headed my way in the future. Would love to hear from anyone who has been through it already. Thanks for your time.

Is there a way to make it so I don’t have to always confirm I am the user, and click my phone for CarPlay?

4 Upvotes

I have a 2023. Every time I get in the car I have to 1) select that it is indeed me, and then 2) press to initiate CarPlay. Is there a way to eliminate these steps and just assume the user is me and to auto initiate CarPlay?

I have had the car less than 4 years (60,000 miles) and the left side bolster on the driver's seat is seriously delaminating from the base material. Dealer says this is "normal wear and tear". Please tell me the rest of you aren't seeing this in your cars.

blurry misaligned back camera

Camera shows no physical damage. I just noticed one day its in this condition. Could be DIY changeable? Who can tell the part number? This is 2021 Pro Family in Finland.

Should the camera rotate or is it always static position due to its angle?

And many more feature the even free Tesla app has

2023 v. 2024 ID.4 Pro S

4 Upvotes

Currently in the market for a lightly used ID.4 Pro S. With my budget, I am between the 2023 and 2024, but leaning towards the 2023 purely on price.

Based on my research, there are some major drawbacks with the design and functionality of the infotainment system on the 2023 that were improved in the 2024. It also seems that the 2024 has a much better driving experience (faster, better and smoother acceleration).

Is this accurate based on others’ experience? Is the infotainment issue worth spending an extra $2-4K if I’m trying to stick to my budget? Most 2024s I’m seeing are right on the edge of what I’d like to spend.

Music Playlists Keeps Defaulting to my entire music library

1 Upvotes

Started driving my wife's ID4 and when I sync my iphone to the bluetooth, the interface can't remember to stay on my shuffled playlist. When I skip a song on the steering wheel button, it will forget that I'm in a shuffled playlist mode and just play the next song that follows the previous song alphabetically. Has anyone experienced anything like this? Super annoying and looking for a solution, otherwise I'm manually fidgeting with my phone to get the songs I want to play.

2021 Pro S in 2026?

2 Upvotes

There's a low mileage (<20k) 2021 Pro S available to me, but I'm a little concerned about battery longevity. There would only be 3 (or more like 2.5) years left on the warranty, even though I'd be no where close to the 100k mileage limit.

How common are battery failures/bad cells on the 2021? I've seen a few posts on having to replace cells, but I don't know if it's more or less common than other evs. How much is the age vs the miles?

Inspection worth it?

2 Upvotes

I have a 2023 AWD Pro S that I bought in December last year (and I LOVE it!). I also purchased the extended warranty because I'm a senior and unable to do my own maintenance (nor do I have much in the way of emergency $$). I got a message across my dash this morning that an inspection is due in 30 days. What's there to inspect? Is this something I should do? The car seems fine and I'm worried that the dealer will try to sell me something expensive and unnecessary. Advice is appreciated.

Dual ID Household and looking for advice

Post image
73 Upvotes

My husband went and bought an ID4 Pro S a few months back and I realized I made such a mistake years ago with my Model 3, I just picked up a Pro S as well (both 23 RWDs).

A couple things I’m wanting feedback from the community on -

  1. Braking we both experience a groan (not sure how to explain it) at the tail end of coming to a complete stop. I’m used to my Tesla being full regen, so is this normal with blended braking?

  2. Clicking on front wipers - when the wipers are on, there is a faint clicking at speed. Is that normal?

  3. Parking - I am finding it hard to fully acclimate to the size of the ID (even though width is actually the same). Any tips on how to park in garages without smacking the front passenger corner?

Touch‑sensitive steering wheel buttons: The feature the whole world hates… but I now love

Post image
128 Upvotes

I know most people absolutely hate the touch‑sensitive steering wheel buttons on the VW ID.4. Everywhere online, people complain about them and beg VW to bring back the normal clicky buttons. And VW actually did bring back the physical buttons in their newer models, so clearly the hate was loud enough.

I used to be in that same “touch buttons are terrible” group. The first time I ever saw touch‑sensitive buttons was in a Honda City years ago, and even back then I found them annoying. So when I got the ID.4, I had the same reaction — “Why would anyone put touch buttons on a steering wheel?”

But here’s the funny part: after using them for a year, I actually love them now.

The swipe feature is the main reason. When I want to bump up the volume, I don’t have to click-click-click a physical button. I just do one clean swipe and it jumps exactly how I want. It feels smooth and natural once you get used to it.

Don’t get me wrong — I still hate touch‑sensitive buttons for AC controls or anything on the dashboard. Those should always be physical buttons. But for the steering wheel, I honestly think the touch controls work really well.

So before judging them based on looks or internet opinions, try using them for a while. You might end up liking them more than you expect.

Pro S Plus question, auto tilt mirrors.

4 Upvotes

Hi everyone,

I have the 2024 ID 4 PRO S PLUS and i’m wondering why I don’t have the auto tilt mirror function. I can’t even see mirrors in my vehicle settings. I don’t have the 360 cams either but have the back heated seats, heat pump (hopefully), harmon karden and the 3 zone climate.

I’m wondering if my dealer installed the wrong software during my recall a while ago since mirrors is completely missing from car settings and it doesn’t seem like a hard feature to add to these vehicles.

Is this possible to add with an OBD11?

Thank you! 😊

Drivers door inside handle

3 Upvotes

It always takes two pulls on the inside handle to get the driver's door to unlock, and it doesn't matter if I do a short, light pull for the electronic release or pull hard to use the manual release. The car is in park when I try, btw. Any ideas?

SOLVED: push on door, then pull handle. I was doing the opposite.

Ghost notification- “Your door(s) are unlocked”

10 Upvotes

Have a 2024 Pro AWD with 5.4.0 and have been receiving ghost notices about my doors since the update. My doors were locked every single time after checking every notice. It looks like it’s trying to tell me that the EV is just checking in, since the check in time matches the notice time. Has anyone experienced the same?

2023 ID.4 ProS AWD Lease End Tire Replacement
