I talked to a guy from Cariad (I’m a software engineer) and was very surprised to hear that the software now being put onto the cars (MIB4) is already end-of-life, the Cariad team is working on Android Automative for MIB5 (which is already on the new PPE Q6 e-tron and Porsches in a different UI) and thus porting the current MIB4 interface to Android, which will be made available in Q3 25 (after the summer work holiday). This does mean however that current ID.7, 4 etc. and the new Tiguan’s, Golfs etc. sold TODAY won’t get further software updates beyond necessary security fixes. I was completely shocked, they are being sold right now!

I really like the adaptive cruise control and how it adapts to the head up display in my id7.
Interior is really nice place to be, sits very comfortable, I have the ergo active seats but not the ones with ventilation.
Software has some missing features indeed. Navigation I started using waze because here in Belgium the vw navigation seems not to be very up to date with the latest changes and new roads.
Own it for 3 weeks now and no regrets.

👏👏👏 Chris - good video as always. 100% agree - the "privacy" button that needs to be accepted every-signle time is just bad design. Volkswagen - we need to re-authenticate every couple weeks with VWNet - why that consent is not there instead? It feels like the "ignition" button press that was eliminated got replaced by the privacy button. Ugh...

I'm really interested how the OTA experience will work for ID.Software 4.0 and beyond...

On a side note - I drove two Model Y drivers in ID.4 - they loved the experience - you have CarPlay - we don't, seat massage - you are kidding - can you retrofit that into model Y?; oh and what's this cool light bar below your windshield that shows turns - we don't have that either!

Good car for daily use to go work, shopping, market, hope they arrive USA soon 😍

The best review of this car, some are too technical. We dont need to know all the technical gibberish. This review explains what everyday normal people want to know. Is it nice...whats it like...is it annoying.

[NeilBlanchard]

I *wish* I could buy an ID.7 here in the USA! It is deeply frustrating to have VW pull back like this ...

[Tartneznok]

I do have an unlocking feature for the app on my 2021 VW Arteon - strange, as this car is on the really old Passat platform and barely has any other app features besides that. Could it be for legal reasons? I live in Austria.

Recently saw a video comparing ID7 with EQE. The two are almost similar in many aspects, but the Apps are centuries apart!

[Christom]

Vw ID cars are awesome. The ride is smooth and comfortable. Reasonably priced.
Thanks Vw ! ❤ 😊

You can turn off the lane assist at a local “tuning shop” with an app connected to the OBD port. It then remembers the setting so you can turn it back on if you like. Made me less angry anyway haha

[AdamEdward]

havent been a fan of VW's recent exterior designs for their sedans but im liking this one.

[michaelsimmons]

You may not like the indicator noise 🔊, but you won't leave them on like some ?

[sascharoll]

Liebe es in deinen Videos die Orte meiner Kindheit und Jugend zu sehen :-) Museumsdorf Parkplatz, Rothauer See, die Straße nach Tittling... Schöne Grüße von einem Exil-Tittlinger! (Und baldigem ID7 Tourer Fahrer ;-))

[Gazer]

I wonder if the lock/unlock function is not active in Germany? I can enable it for my e-Golf, but I have to verify my identity to enable this feature. I don't have a passport so the ID company refused me when I tried.

[nickLR]

If you use waze for navigation, do the arrows on the heads up display also appear or is this only with the default navigation?

[SD-euht]

Thank you for sharing. I would probably have explained a bit more the driving data for the uninitiated. 😊

[clarasdk]

Thanks for the video, I totally agree with the app missing features. I have a ID3 and a Mercedes C class and the Mercedes app is so much better. But else I am really happy with the MEB platform and I am considering a ID7 when I will sell the Mercedes.

[pauladams]

I think you would get used to the Lane assist and the pong for speed limit if you just left it on.
You don't want a speeding ticket, do you?
The only time I switch off the Lane assist is during icy weather because I want as much feel as possible as to what the tyre grip is.
So, I think it's best to live with these systems, then one adapts to it.

[stephencollins]

Do you not have profiles on your system,   My son has this on his ID3.

[vvaldesss]

En general hay que reconocer que es un buen coche, lo sorprendente de volkswagen lo poco que han evolucionado desde los primeros id3 hasta ahora, tenían que tener sistema de bateria de 800v, el software más avanzado y sobre todo más baratos que han llegado los chinos con más calidad y más barato. Disfruta del id7 es un coche para hacer muchos kilometros.
