A full tour through VW ID Software 5.0

[@MrBigglesworth79]

Great walkthrough. I got my ID.7 last week and this has answered so many of my questions.

[@leo-one]

I can't wait to have it on my ID 7

[@Blah69696]

Love watching your happy positive content Chris. Keep up the great work 👍

[@GoatieDK]

Perfect walkthrough !

[@casperfin67]

Hi, thanks for super good info!! Is there any info on digital key (key in phone)?

[@Harrythehun]

No camp or pet mode?

[@ashesofasker]

Thanks for the guided tour - much appreciated! How is your experience with receiving updates on the newer releases of the ID software, e.g. 5.0? How often / at what pace should we expect updates? And is there a webpage that shows you all releases including release notes?

[@saladien9987]

Are they going to Upgrade Travel Assist with the new Version too? (5.4 and then the new TA this year)

[@wezrauk]

Brilliant video! Thank you sir! Highlight for me was seeing that you can actually disable keyless entry! (does it stay disabled out of curiosity?) Just this week had confirmation my Pro S Tourer is due to start being built on Sept 4th for an October delivery, can't wait! Again thank you for all the great ID7 videos, they've been really informative and well done, hats off to you for all your work.

[@polantoniotodaro6242]

I bought my new ID3 model on April 2024 and now it has 3.7 software. The new 5.0 will be also available for my new ID3? If yes….when? Many thanks and regards.

[@user-qk2hp9ib7c]

Love your videos, can you advise if there is a way to terminate a phone call via a steering wheel ‘button’. Getting my id 7 next month and a colleague just got an ID.3 and said he can’t hang up calls without using the touch screen, which seems to be a common shortcoming with ID models.

[@highlanderes]

Thanks! I hope my new ID.3 has this.

[@tomasthonell5445]

Nice, far better than the version 1.3 that was in the id.3 when they launched it 🙂

[@truthjunkie3]

Should have a description of what cars will get this update. Or link to VW

[@CanadaMachan]

Any news regarding update 2023 id.4 software version?

[@jirihorak9805]

Will it be available for Enyaq 85?

[@testi2025]

I’m pretty sure that the interior surveillance is on when walking away auto locking.

[@ludekstipal6120]

So OTA updates work as well as usual - only if the Air is inside VW workshop ;)

[@MaxMustermann-yj1wz]

Updates,swiping,sliding and funny horn sounds are more important than actual driving and the look of a car. -Elon Musk-

[@Make-hv4mk]

That is true, but there is also actually useful updates in Tesla. For example I got adaptive headlights as a software update last winter. You can think anything about Tesla, but their app and OS on the car are really good with many of the functions.

[@mm48310]

Speed warning off should be in favorites. And we need to tap "ok" every time when starting car?

[@franciscolaboy3886]

IS THISD AVAILABLE FOR 2023 ID4 PRO S?

[@maverick2368-n7u]

2023 ID's are hardware limited so they couldn't get the version 4 (still can't) so they will absolutely NOT get the version 5.

[@robertjenkins9440]

How do you get Spotify on favourites

[@dreid5189]

I have 5.0 but don’t have that option to do the foot control on the boot. Is this part of a pack?

[@turboclown]

Still no pet / dog mode in the climate options? I really don't get it. Fantastic Tesla feature, easy to copy.

[@scottwills4698]

You can leave the aircon on when you leave the car. It does only work for 30mins or so though.

[@erik1579]

@@scottwills4698 What’s great about the Tesla, is that there is a message on the screen telling bystanders that the animal is comfortable, what the temperature is and that the owner will return shortly. I once almost had my windows smashed in, because some good samaritans thought my dog was in a hot car when I was just away for a few minutes, dropping of my kid with the AC on for my dog in the vehicle. My current solution, is that I have a printout that I lay on the dash for those (always short) moments, telling people the dog is fine in there. But of course, that’s not ideal.

[@mikehuxley9132]

Anyone know if the ID5 will be getting software 5.0?

[@Funhaver2]

When is this OTA update coming to 4.0 ID.7's? VW should really work on update distribution and informing their customers. People that are already owning a 4.0 car, should not have to wait if newly sold vehicles are already running it :S

[@xjmtx]

Funny. People are still on 3.2. Wait a few years.

[@DennisWallman]

Haven't you heard? Cars built with 4.x won't get 5.x. Hardware differences ;)

[@Funhaver2]

@@xjmtx nothing funny about it. This is ID7 specific and ID7’s were never released with 3.2. New vehicles are being released on the road today with 5.0. While cars from june have 4.0 and haven’t received updates. This is just bad software distribution and not as promised by dealerships/VW which should be addressed. And no, I’m not gonna wait a few years thanks.

[@Funhaver2]

@@DennisWallman do you have a source for that? That is very hard to believe.

[@xjmtx]

@@Funhaver2 and 3.2 was released last spring, 3.5 during the summer and 3.7 last fall. No car has ever received 3.5 or 3.7 as OTA today - over a year later. Also cars that had 2.x from the factory had to wait over a year for 3.0/3.2. So thus far it has taken a year or more from software seen in new cars to arrive as updates. If updates are relevat to you, do not buy an MEB car.

[@tonycoleman4610]

do the cameras also work like a dashcam/a record function to an SD card? seems logical that it should have that function

[@nick777LR]

Nope doesn’t do this…. It’s a pitty. You have install dashcams yourself

[@hanpahomeautomation4101]

Why not using IDA? What can you do and don't do with IDA? Please do a video about this!

[@microastro]

Nice !!!!

[@dipapadi]

Is it possible to leave the keys at home and unlock AND drive the car with just a phone?

[@Basti6699]

afaik (and have been told in an ID.7 Facebook group) no. Will miss this from my polestar

[@tlrweb]

Does the drive mode still reset to comfort every time you restart? Drives me mad on version 4

[@anttherubbishdrummer.8513]

Yes.

[@MarcoDrigo83]

One minute of silence for old iD cars 😢

[@arsni23]

Still a good car imo. The lack of precondition is the only issue i see atm.

[@johnbev2336]

Old models are redundant when it comes to VW. The only way I guess is to email VW and make them know how you feel as it will be all cars bought older than three years. The software is analog compared to other cars

[@rj7855]

Why? They stopped working?

[@boy19801]

​@@rj7855 No, but they promised an OTA about every 12 weeks. I have my ID.4 almost 4 years now and now these versions don't even get newer OS updates. That's why some tech enthousiasts (like me) are disappointed. But hey, I should remember: buy the car for what it is now, and not for future promises...

[@frankbjrnsten7189]

Having 4.1 in my car. When will 5.0 arrive to 2024 cars. Ota.

[@macongju2006]

maybe .....never?

[@MaxMustermann-yj1wz]

Updates > Driving

[@da23ad]

Is this available for iD3 ? The ID software compatibility chart is so difficult to understand..... VW does not make things easy at all.... it's a real shame.

[@iaintdonknow]

How is the app on Android? And multiple drivers with their own key can have different settings?

[@MartinBengtsson]

Android has basic climate control (30 min) and charging control. With v5 I think it will be possible to lock/unlock the car, with 4.x it is only shown. Regarding multiple drivers, it is annoyingly not connected to the key fob.

[@iaintdonknow]

@@MartinBengtsson Thank you so much, the key fob will be annoying but I will have to deal with it. Will receive my ID3 in a few weeks with ID software 5, will have to learn a lot!

[@nicolasmassart3898]

Meanwhile on my 2023 ID.4...3.2 and stuck there.

[@nick777LR]

I just got my ID7 tourer yesterday. I must say that the system works very smooth but for an car this price the rear camera is really horrible, it’s still in the big pixel Stone Age 🤨

[@StopaskingformynameYouTube]

It's a shame that VW is so slow to implement propper features, i would love to buy an iD 4 right now, but my love for automations and good features is forcing me to go for a Tesla model Y. I can't pay more for an id7 and get less than a tesla, that doesn't sit right with me.

[@Id3fornow...]

I wish i coupd use the cars own charging schedule and not have it do its own thing. V3.0 software

[@leos7471]

I don’t really see any differences between this and what I already have on 4.0 on my 2024 ID4. What actually changed?

[@krisvandermeulen253]

Good thing you don't have to pay a subscription to have heated or ventilated seat enabled like BMW!!

[@paulocarvalho9406]

Looking forward to studies on the number of collisions while operating the screen. All these options on the screen are just silly and dangerous.

[@BersekViking]

"Keep your eyes on the road". Why do you have to touch a lot on the screen to adjust the A/C. This is worse then texting and driving. Give me buttons for A/C, not a touch screen.

[@wimrosenquist1950]

Too little too late…two more months to go and will ditch my id3.

[@tommyjakobsen5504]

why do you need the seat to go back, are you to fat to open normaly.. wired. this must be made for US

[@DanFrederiksen]

in summary, Tesla is just better :)

[@mortenborg]

All the driver assist settings are a joke since they all reset each time you drive. I absolutely hate VW's implementation of the EU laws - 3-4 presses to disable speed warning every time you turn on the car (OK > Assist > Speed warning > [Back to home]). On the Renault Scenic there is a button for this, much, much better. Will never buy a VW again unless they fix this. And no, I don't drive like a maniac, but the speed warnings work like c***.

[@iaintdonknow]

It's the law, also causes companies like SEXY buttons for Tesla to make the button you are missing or program it.

[@mortenborg]

@@iaintdonknow It's the law, but VW's implementation suck. If they at least removed the utterly stupid "OK" screen, it would one less step each time. But a button like on the Scenic is so much better.

[@tomquimby8669]

Enough! I don't want any of it, No screen, no bullshit. just a speed display and gear selector. get in and go, not having to spend 43 minutes setting up the car before going anywhere.
