VW ID "Park Assist Plus with Memory Function" Live Demo from Volkswagen

[@markovichamp]

Anyone else had that parking memory function 'drift'? Worked great a couple of times, but then started to try and park in a brick wall further up the street. It had all the moves right, just in the wrong place!

[@NevoEVReviewIreland]

Thanks for the comment, hopefully some other drivers see this. I'll pin it to the top

Mine wanders around the driveway like a drunken sailor.

[@davidcollins5951]

It’s great to get such articulate demos. I’m delighted with my new ID4. But I have never, never bought a new car that has so little documentation. Thanx a mil.

[@NevoEVReviewIreland]

Thanks for the comment and you're very welcome. Sorry about the documentation but I suppose it helps KZbinrs 😉

[@nhayler76]

Just received our ID.4 last week and I haven't been brave enough to try these features.. Great video, thank you..

[@NevoEVReviewIreland]

Glad it was helpful!

[@todd2617]

Best video on youtube so far to explain ID.4 park assist and park assist plus, great jobs and thanks !

[@NevoEVReviewIreland]

Many thanks Todd. I'm glad you found it useful

[@AdamEcclesBooks]

Awesome! I’ve had my ID.4 for a month and haven’t tried any of those yet :D Thanks for showing me!

[@NevoEVReviewIreland]

Very welcome. I'm now hearing that you need a certain level of tech on the ID 3 and ID 4....🫣 I hope you have it. Let me know

[@banjopatterson3756]

Get a kick out of seeing you enjoy the tech capabilities. Keep reviewing and keep smiling.

[@NevoEVReviewIreland]

Cheers Banjo. Glad you enjoyed it

[@oceanfroggie]

Good demo. Had something similar steering wise 10 years ago in a Tiguan but I only used it twice both times as 'ghee whiz' demos to pals, but never used it myself, it was quicker to park manually. But with all the all round sensors it was able to parallel park into tiny spaces. It was impressive for older 2010 tech so the above demo with full control is even more impressive.

[@NevoEVReviewIreland]

Thanks for the comment Noel. Yes, the memory function was very impressive

[@oceanfroggie]

@@NevoEVReviewIreland It'd be even better if you could get out of the car and walk away letting it park itself, likewise summon it from a parking space to the front door of the office.

[@NevoEVReviewIreland]

Ah Tesla. I think other manufacturers will get there some day. Well those who think it's safe and a good idea.

[@oceanfroggie]

@@NevoEVReviewIreland IMHO Working safe AFSD is still 20-25 years away. AI is barely in its infancy yet. But the marketing hype as usual overhypes automation. The electric toothbrush will never catch on. :)

[@romulustong]

Thank you so much for the Live Demo, which was very informative.

[@NevoEVReviewIreland]

Glad you enjoyed it

[@rasmusnielsen8998]

Great demonstration. I'm already looking forward to see you testing Park Assist Pro where you can park it remotely😊👍

[@NevoEVReviewIreland]

You and me both!

[@briandowling8372]

Very handy! I especially like the memory part. I've had a few spaces right next to walls or pillars where this would have been helpful. These separate videos on specific features are great.

[@NevoEVReviewIreland]

Thanks for the comment Brian. Rather than the same review in right hand drive, I too like featuring the features.

[@tarekaboukhadra3862]

Thanks Derek, great video.. keep it up. Can't wait to get my ID4

[@NevoEVReviewIreland]

Thanks Tarek, glad you enjoyed it and good luck with the car

[@patrycja25irlandia]

Very cool shots in this review 😀👍🏻

[@NevoEVReviewIreland]

Thanks for the comment Patrycja. 4 different camera angles was maybe overkill 🤣

[@tonymars.official]

We haven’t seen the 3.0 update on the ID.4 here in the U.S. … would love to see a video of your impressions especially with regard to how the update improved system lag. Not sure if that is a problem in Ireland but here the ID.4 has been heavily criticized for having a very slow and unresponsive user interface that VW says the new update should fix. Thanks so much!

[@NevoEVReviewIreland]

Thanks for the comment Tony. I wish I saw this a few weeks ago as I had the ID.5 for a full week and could have done a comparison with an ID with older software. Next time.

[@harry2450]

I received my 2022 ID.4 last year from Germany. It came with 3.0 software. I haven't had the guts to try park assist yet. The video makes it look real easy. Thanks.

[@jimsshed2587]

Great to see it been demonstrated Derek I was at the dealer today and ID.4 GTX DOES have the side sensors which means I may have this feature on mine.😊 Regards Jim's Shed

[@NevoEVReviewIreland]

Great to hear Jim. Getting closer now!

[@richardmccarthyphoto]

Hi Jim, I just got my ID4 GTX Business and It has the Park Assist Plus which does the automatic parking and works really well. I don't think it has the memory function . I've watch a few videos on how to do it and the option just isn't there.

[@johnyabdiasgonzalez6489]

It parked better than you 😂😂! Awesome video.

[@NevoEVReviewIreland]

No argument there!

[@romulustong]

By reading the news from Volkswagen, update 3.0 would include the following features, 1. Park Assist Plus with memory function, 2. Travel Assist with Swarm data and Assisted Lane Chang 3. Augmented Reality Head-up-Display. May I ask you, are these three features free with a 3.0 software update? Is the Park Assist Plus free, but not the memory function? If they all are options, how much is the cost, and how to get these options? Appreciate so much your time and effort in reading this, and very much looking forward to your response to this. Thanks!

[@NevoEVReviewIreland]

Hi Romulus. Your ID model will need to have a certain level of equipment and trim to be eligible for the upgrade. Check with your local dealer and if you are eligible it is no cost to my knowledge

[@romulustong]

@@NevoEVReviewIreland Thanks!

[@todd2617]

very cool, thanks for video !

[@NevoEVReviewIreland]

Thanks for the comment Todd. Glad you enjoyed it

[@philotimo5089]

Great Video. Are these functions you described coming to the USA in the new ID 4s....

[@NevoEVReviewIreland]

Thanks for the comment and question Philotimo. To my knowledge yes, I believe so. A dealer visit required to update to 2.4 but then future updates will be OTA (Over The Air)

[@philotimo5089]

@@NevoEVReviewIreland Thanks so much for your informative quick response. I ordered the ID4 AWD 5 months ago. hopefully it will arrive next year By then the 3.0 may already on it....

[@NevoEVReviewIreland]

Fingers crossed

[@seancleary7663]

Great demo. On a separate matter, can you answer the phone with the steering wheel controls in the ID 4?

[@NevoEVReviewIreland]

No sure Sean. I have the car again for a full week soon. Hopefully I remember to check for you. Thanks for the question

[@richardmccarthyphoto]

Yes, just press the OK button.

[@davitmarkarian1795]

Thanks for the demonstration, will that be also for ID.6 2021 or just ID3,4& 5 as you have mentioned in the video

[@NevoEVReviewIreland]

I'd say all ID models as long as they have the side sensors

[@snakeinthegarden1146]

Great video. Wish I could get this park assist but got first edition ID3 :( Any word on the new software updates timelines yet for Ireland? It's a trip into the dealer for 1 of them isn't it

[@NevoEVReviewIreland]

Yes, one of the updates is to enable the over the air future ones I believe

[@steinmar2]

Can you also summon forward backward and outside the car maybe with the key or telephone app?

[@NevoEVReviewIreland]

Didn't try that Steinmar2. I have the car again soon and will try

[@desobrien7357]

These are a lovely feature. My concern is that when you are parking with traffic on the road the selection of parking mode takes too long. I have it on my i3 and it is brilliant when you cannot hold anyone else up. Do you have to stop to select the memory function? Keep smiling. Des

[@NevoEVReviewIreland]

Thanks Des. Definitely takes a little longer than manually parking on the street or in a bay. The stored memory options (up to 5) just pop up as you approach the space. Break and hit start, away it goes.

[@sebastiansimon9737]

Will this work in an underground car park as well?

[@NevoEVReviewIreland]

I assume so but will try next week when I have an ID.4

[@mr.wizeguy8995]

A bit worried if you can't park a car and need assist for it how other car handling might work as well.

[@NevoEVReviewIreland]

🤣🤣🤣 a very valid point. No adaptive cruise control for you so

[@mr.wizeguy8995]

@@NevoEVReviewIreland Cruise control is different it doesn't "drive" car for you it only maintain speed which should be forced for most people because they drive under limit.

[@NevoEVReviewIreland]

Yes, the speed limiter function. I think they are bringing in an EU law for this

[@npmdrives]

Is this for Canadian and American id4's too?

[@NevoEVReviewIreland]

I believe it's going to be worldwide. Your car needs to have a basic level of tech for it to work ie side sensors

[@bruts82]

Had a loan of 1 of these cars recently, nothing illuminated at nite under main screen , I thought it was broken but apparently that’s how it is 😂😂, incredible. Lovely smooth drive 204bhp not enough car to big. And infotainment screen simply awful

[@NevoEVReviewIreland]

Thanks for the comment bruts82. The lack of illumination is a funny one alright. The lack of power is stored with the GTX model

[@jimsshed2587]

Are you sure Derek its available in ALL ID.4s and 5s??? Collecting my ID.4 GTX Business on Saturday 2nd July Can't wait Regards a very existed Jim's Shed

[@NevoEVReviewIreland]

Hearing now maybe not... James is going to leave the update in a comment here and I'll pin in. I hope you have what's needed. The excitement is building alright

[@matthewbyrne8196]

And update from VW when they plan on rolling it out to us? It was supposed to be April I thought!

[@NevoEVReviewIreland]

No idea unfortunately but let me check with my contact in VW.

[@tahimoormaqbool3215]

Great Video Derrick! I have my ID 4 i just wanted to know how can i check the options for this Park assist in my ID 4? And how can i update software to 3.0? Just got my car 3 weeks ago in Dubai. Looking forward for your answer. Thanks & Have a good day :)

[@NevoEVReviewIreland]

Good afternoon. Thanks for the comment and question. It will depend on your trim level. You should be able to see the software version in the center infotainment screen. A dealer visit is required if you need the 2.4 version but after this I believe they will be all OTA (Over The Air). Let me know how you get on.

[@tenagneworktransport8607]

Hi Sir, My id-6 streering wheel is locked Please help me

[@NevoEVReviewIreland]

Did your issue get resolved? Hopefully you reached out to the dealer you purchased from

[@geoffhemingway3926]

I thought this video was pretty poor - sorry! Why couldn't you get out of the car with a camera after each manouvre to show us where it was in the space after it had finished parking so we would have an idea how good or bad it was? Couldn't be bothered maybe? 🤔😁😉

[@NevoEVReviewIreland]

Thanks for the feedback Geoff. I'm always learning and happy to take feedback. A great idea, I'll walk around after with the GoPro to show the final parking space. It definitely wasn't that I wasn't bothered. Recording 4 camera angles along with the editing afterwards is definitely not simple.

[@geoffhemingway3926]

@@NevoEVReviewIreland Hi, I was kidding with the last bit - hence the emoticons. It was hopefully constructive criticism. I also know how much work can go into these videos! But if I didn't like what you do overall, I wouldn't be a subscriber. 👍

[@NevoEVReviewIreland]

I really do appreciate it Geoff. Stay subbed, I won't let you down!

[@jayb0nd007]

It didn't park & aligned with other cars it park way too much on the front it supposed to back up a lil bit more

[@NevoEVReviewIreland]

The beauty of a live demo and no edits.

[@jamesogrady2890]

I don't think that is correct. This is a section from an email I received from Volkswagen Ireland. Not all ID.3 or ID.4 have Area View. In order to avail of Trained Parking Functionality or Memory Function, the vehicle would need to be equipped with Assistance Package Plus as standard on the ID.4 Tech. This includes: Travel Assist 2.5, Emergency Assist, Side Assist Area View overhead camera incl. reversing camera Trained Parking Sensor-controlled Easy Open & Close. Area View is the necessary hardware here which is required to facilitate the functionality of the trained parking or memory function.

[@NevoEVReviewIreland]

Thanks For posting this clarification James.

[@fionamajor3812]

It wasn't just 1st edition ID.3 and ID.4s that didn't have the correct side sensors, IIRC they didn't start adding them until a factory refresh in July 2021? Our car is technically a correct trim level car but was produced before the refresh so doesn't have the sensors.

[@leet9582]

I am currently awaiting delivery of an ID.4 Style Edition Pro here in the UK. Is there a way of knowing if this model will come with the parking functionality?

[@kevinn1158]

Now all VW needs to do is actually deliver cars to Canada. LOL

[@NevoEVReviewIreland]

Not just Canada! Thanks for the comment

[@ElectricGreen]

seriously bay parking lol.. car stops before being fully back on the parking spot and super close to the car next to you, that you probably cant even open the door... Dude, could you be a bit more honest and thorough during your tests? the self parking is not just about doing the task but doing it right in real conditions. whats the point of parking this way if you cant get out of your car...

[@NevoEVReviewIreland]

Thanks for the comment David. Next time I'll get out and walk around so you can see the end result. I have the car for longer this week.
