💯 agree. That would be the best solution!

Thanks for sharing! Just seems like all EV’s should come with a charging cable if they want more adoption. I agree about not buying cheap cables. There are quality brands. I bought my cable from Lectron which is a solid company. Enjoy 😊!

Great advice @lautenwerck and absolutely correct. Pushing the door out as you slightly pull the inside handle is key. Thanks for sharing.

Park Assist is on model years 2023 and earlier. Model year 2024 has Park Assist Plus according to the VW website. My ID.4 in the video is a 2023.

@@tonymcflattie2450 you are correct you get energy recuperation without 1-pedal driving, but the ID.4 manual states there is more energy recuperation in B mode (1-pedal) than in D mode and the brake pads will wear down faster in D mode.

@@MariaAbrams-i9x I agree it’s not natural, but it is the way the ID.4 handle works. I don’t have to think about it anymore, I just do it that way and the door opens.

Nice to know that Tesla isn’t the only ones with the stupid doorhandle design. You’re supposed to open the Tesla door by pressing a button, but there is also a mechanical release in case you lose power. But if you use the mechanical release unnecessarily, it’s possible to damage the window seal. Crazy designers.

@@garyfritz4709100% agree. The OEM’s just need to keep it simple.

Nice! Good solution to that door handle issue. Thanks for sharing.

Yes I am!

@@EVbeginnerthat’s great to see another Columbusite that has an ID.4.

@@rooflinestudios224 what color is your ID.4? Mine is white.

@@EVbeginner I like the white a lot! Mine is grey. I’ve only had it for a week. I picked it up last week at MAG VW.

Only us EXTRA Tall humans can understand!

@@Ahoooooooo according to some ID.4 owners, if the battery is dead, you can pull the door handle all the way up and it will mechanically open the door so we all should be fine. Good question!

@@EVbeginner Thank you very much for the information . I will have to rely on i never need to find out . 😊

Did you have the seat as low to the floor as possible? Good luck with that test drive!

Only thing I can think of is you still may be pulling the handle too far. Try pulling very, very slowly until you hear the door mechanism open then push the door open. Good luck!

@@EVbeginner I'm doing precisely that. Very gently, not all the way out. It still requires two attempts. Does it matter that the doors are locked or something? I see no setting that controls this.

@@tomdiliberto4225I know that is frustrating. Does not matter if door is locked or not. Mine is always locked when I open it. My last idea is I push the door out with my left hand as I slightly pull the door handle with my right hand. Good luck! 🍀

You should have Lane Change on your 2021 GTX. Make sure you have Travel Assist on and not just Cruise Control. Also, only highways that are in the ID.4 software will have the lane assist available. Cool car and good luck.

No. It is my understanding that the 2022 ID.4’s do not have all the sensors needed for Park Assist.

This is my question as well. I have 2022 model and the park assist popped up on my p-menu once, but I didn’t use it. After that, never showed up. I don’t know if it was only a glitch in the software or just me not knowing how to use the park assist.

Thanks for liking my comment so others see it! I hope you can also make a step by step video on how to control windows with key fob to roll up & down when outside the car. I can only roll down when holding unlock button. If you have any info on this would be very much appreciated. I have a 2021 vw id4 pro s in the most current up to date software

Hey @meedy92, I added a video on TH-cam this week on using the ID.4 Park Assist to Parallel Park the EV.

Yes! Hope you are enjoying that Ioniq 6! I love the range of it.

@@EVbeginner Yeah, well. Actually I do not really need it, but the power economy of the car is incredible.

You don't HAVE to to do all that. One system that is recommended to be disabled is emergency braking as it can be oversensitive on some cars regardless of them be ICEVs or EVs.

@@Keestral And emergency breaking is no issue with my car, since the transport system in the car wash keeps your car at the same distance to the car in front, so I just put it in neutral and fold in the mirror, because it says so at the car wash.

Cool story

My ID.4 Pro AWD does not have the kick to open so I don’t have to worry about that. The manual did not mention it, but probably a good idea to disable so it doesn’t open in the car wash.

On the main menu center screen, click on Vehicle. Then on the left click on Data. You then can see the trip data Since Start (for that specific trip), Long-Term (since the beginning of the ID.4) and Since Last Charge. Hope this helps. Enjoy.

Thank you for viewing. I’m happy you found it useful.

Hello. I think a faulty adaptive cruise control (ACC) light will have to be fixed by a VW dealer. Good luck.

Hello. We are all learning! In travel assist your vehicle will be on cruise control traveling at the speed you have set it for. So when you use the lane change assist, no need to put your foot on the accelerator.

Hello. I struggled initially also. 1. Yes, the steering wheel will turn itself in your hands when it is changing lanes during the lane assist. Your hands are on the wheel, but you let it move itself. 2. When you want to use the lane change assist, and travel assist is on and the white arrows are displayed, you move the turn signal lever slightly down for left or up for right (do not push it up or down all the way) and the car will display the turn signal for others to see and then will turn the turn signal off. Good luck and enjoy that GTX!

You and me both. Must be a cave man issue. I drove an id.4 for two months and this wasn't even remotely on my list of shit to dislike about the car. What a time to be alive. Teaching people how to use a door handle.

Yes. Park Assist will work when parallel parking.

This is the 3.5 version software. It was loaded on my ID.4 when I bought it on 2023. Good luck!

Wish you did a demonstration of how self parking performs when parallel parking??? cause I wouldn’t imagine it parking too close to another vehicle would be an issue when parallel parking cause you won’t have a car on either side when parallel parking vs standard parking space in lot. Hope this makes sense & would love to see a demonstration of this in a future video; hopefully if id4 doesn’t park too close to curb when parallel parking making it a more appropriate situation to use the feature. If making a part 2 self park video but for parallel parking would be helpful to demonstrate the feature’s performance/distance from curb & other parked cars (front & back) is consistent regardless of which side street you’re parked on. Hope that makes sense! Thanks for your time & consideration.

EV’s are fun to drive. I love my ICE cars too! Enjoy that Subaru. When you are ready to change vehicles, you will have lots of cool choices.

2023 ID.4 Pro AWD, 3.5 version software.

Thanks for the comment! My ID.4 salesman did not show me how to use any of these functions either. We all learn by sharing what we know.

Hope you found it useful Alexandra! That highway is straight for many miles so I was careful in the rain. Good job catching the 70 mph speed limit on the screen. I don’t drive on that road often and assumed it was 65 when recording, but did not realize until later. Thanks for commenting and have a great day.

@tomclaessens I agree would have been nice to know immediately! It does make driving more enjoyable and relaxed knowing how to use these assist options. Cheers.

I agree it is a dealership thing, but a solution is for VW to just include at least an L1 charging cable (ideally an L1/L2) with all ID.4’s then you don’t leave it up to the dealers. Good comment!

The VW cable is actually an option that shows on the window sticker. Some cars had it included, others didn't. Either way, it's the same price from the factory as it is from the dealer ($350).
