The Volkswagen ID BUZZ is potentially the best EV to camp in. I decided to test it but things did not go according to plan!

Bring 5 bricks to activate the ID Buzz camp mode, VW technology is truly 'stone age'

Yes!! A camp mode, and also a pet mode for when you leave your dog in the car while getting things done. Tesla has this, I’m surprised no other manufacturers have used the tech in their vehicles to make life easier in this manner.

Rivian has. In fact, the Rivian camp mode give you extra controls over camp mode like customizing which lights come on, the noises it makes and the screen can shut off. They actually went a step above and also added a self leveling feature which flattens the vehicle taking advantage of their air suspension. Rivian also provide you with a wrist band key. That makes sure you have full access to your vehicle even if your phone dies or you loose it doing your outdoor activities.

@fpartidafpartida that's a nicely thought through function from Rivian.

I think if this thing sells well enough a camper version (Westfalia) will be around the corner. It would definitely be a missed opportunity if VW doesn’t do this.

I think you can put it in "N" neutral + emergency brake and get the AC working normally. That's how Bjorn did it in his video.

@ItsOnlyElectric 11 ай бұрын

For getting the AC to work whole night? Sound like an odd combination. 🙂

@maestroRodskjaer 11 ай бұрын

N + Emergency Break. Used to do that when camping in my Tesla MS before we got the camp mode. Worked well. Only thing was that the DRL was on all night, but just cover the light up with some blankets. But VW should really let you open your car from the app... Doesn't make any sense not to have that option.

@ItsOnlyElectric 11 ай бұрын

@@maestroRodskjaer thanks! The app really needs some love and more functions. And if you forget to push online att the startup message in the car you can't connect to it later with the app. I get the privacy thinking here but still a bit annoying.

Another fail from VW. There should be a simple option to select camp mode for when parked up for a snooze or sleeping overnight.

@geertvanschaik7976 8 ай бұрын

VW must be thrilled to hear how you explain how to break in in their van... And so also all the ID-Buzz owners. But I must also say that it seems dumb to me that you can lock yourself out, when the key is still inside. In my Toyota Corolla hybrid that's not possible.

@ItsOnlyElectric 8 ай бұрын

You do it the same way on all cars. Nothing unique for vw. It's regulated by law that it must be possible to open doors that way for sucurity reasons.

Dangerous. Forget the key in the mid console. Go out through the door to go around to bring out your kid. Car locked. And then the AC turns off. In the summer it would be deadly.

I have a 2015 Jeep Cherokee Limited that will not allow the doors to lock when no one is in the interior. Maybe the bricks were the reason for the lockout.

@pinguposse 8 ай бұрын

I assume the key was in the car when you were locked. Does the Buzz not offer a keyless feature based on proximity of the key to the car? Thus as long as the key was nearby, the doors could still be opened. A bit scary if there was a baby or a dog in the car at the time you closed it.

@ItsOnlyElectric 8 ай бұрын

Yes proximity functionality is there but still locked me out.

@SquidandCatAdventures 8 ай бұрын

My Prius V (2012) screams at me (long beep) if I try to lock the doors with the keys inside. I accidentally try to lock myself out fairly often. Sort of disappointing that the Buzz doesn't have this function.

Imo can blame the car since it was locked until you opened aka unlocked door so why car relocked itself. Weird design choice especially since breaking in was that easy. Compare: On a Transporter if you lock the doors pulling the indoor handle does nothing.
