My id3 (on 3.2) had an update the other day - when it finished it went straight to a screen offering me extras I could trial, or pay for monthly or outright - Like main beam assist (£4 per month, £40 for the year or £156 to buy outright as I recall) - there were other things too like the colours for interior lights. Some additional games - I dont remember the rest but anyway you get the idea. I noticed as well that the id3 App on my phone would not run without me accepting a new agreement - once accepted (reluctantly because it looked like I was committing to stuff) the icon changed to Volkswagen and no mention of id3 on the app image.

Good news on brake feel - I like my ID.3 more for cornering and acceleration than my Golf 7.5 but the brakes don't feel as good.

It’s evident vw that spent the absolute minimum it thought it could get away with to continue the id3 until the next gen electric golf is developed. Id4/5 is better seller. They’re not going to put in lots to refresh. Also there is the cupra born so in effect another slightly different version that is very similar. Let’s see next year what it’s like with the new computer ..

Possibly backlit volume control but this is not a big deal at all. And a SW that will not bother you to log in at every start of a car, why can't we use 20 years old approach with personalized key(s) :)

Tesla and a few other car makers allow this. But at least VW was good enough to install a USB port on the rear view mirror so you can easily plug in your own. No need for complex cable routing. Now if we can just get them to put one on the back. Like I've maintained from day one, you can never have too many USB ports.

VW really need to up their game for both the app and for connectivity.

Just employ some proper tech designers, coders and testers please VW. If you think that you have this sorted then whoever is in charge of software really isn't doing a great job. The user experience is truly abysmal.
