    What Owners Say

    Apple CarPlay

    "I have a hard time, knowing why music and navigation are sometimes unavailable and believe that the voice message may just need to tell me that Apple CarPlay is not connected, but it doesnt explain a potentially easy fix."

    Anonymous, CA (2022 Volkswagen ID4 Pro S Electric)

    ""No longer connects wirelessly, only plugged in""

    Anonymous, AZ (2022 Volkswagen ID4 Pro S Electric)
    Phone pairing (e.g., Bluetooth)

    Anonymous, CA (2022 Volkswagen ID4 Pro Electric)

    Anonymous, CO (2022 Volkswagen ID4 Pro S Electric)

    ""12v battery stopped working, car was dead, had to have towed in and dealer could not figure out what happened, reset it somehow and been ok since.""

    Anonymous, FL (2022 Volkswagen ID4 Pro S Electric)
    Keyless entry

    "Doors often dont unlock either with proximity or with the key fob button from outside. From inside, sometimes it takes several tries to open the doors. Often it takes the emergency release (pull harder to activate the mechanical release) to get the door to open. There was a recall but didnt have the hardware forever. Unsure if my wife got it fixed but its still doing this."

    Anonymous, TX (2022 Volkswagen ID4 Pro Electric)

Took this car on a roadtrip last summer and spent a lot of time waiting around at charging stations because of this issue.""
