Hold down the rear window button longer and you'll be able to control all 4 windows with one button at the same time
If you open your ears you'll hear little chimes when you hold the rear button. First chime means 'back windows' second chime means 'all four windows'.
Maybe you knew about it, if you keep the rear (windows) button pressed for 2 seconds, it starts blinking and then you control the 4 windows at the same time!
I did not know! Thanks for the tip, Samy!
I was just about comment on that until I saw your post. 99% of reviews will not mention this at all but are quick to complain about it.
Interior lights can be dimmed by long-pressing on the light. A touch turns them off or on, like you said, but a long touch dims. And this works for the front overhead cabin lights and the lights over the rear doors,
Nice tip! Thanks for watching
You can also "scroll" to control the light intensity
Wow, a "you didn't know" video that actually features a few things I didn't know! The movable space dividers and swappable cupholder were almost mindblowing to me. That's a game-changer. I also did not know about the two-finger press for heated seats. That was pretty cool. I did not know that virtually every action in the car is based on touch. Even the overhead lighting.
The automatic high beam works exactly the same as my Tesla and Accord and a Prius I recently drove. I guess that has been adopted as an industry standard. I did not know about the two tiers of rear storage, although that middle layer does not seem very deep. I also knew about the "Rear" button and holding it for all four windows, and also knew about the cellphone pocket for the rear seats.
Nice video, well done, and good presentation style. Thanks for posting.
Thanks so much for watching! Glad I could help!
@@BachmanVolkswagenLouisville which trim have ambient light because i have pure plus its have only white ambient light
That's a great tip on the cupholders. Most reviewers of the ID.4 completely miss that feature. Same for the two finger press for heated seats. Subscribed.
Golden!! I knew all of these except the swipe down option one. Excellent!!
Having (now knowing) that option is most helpful, as I really dislike having to go thru all the options just to warm my steering wheel. Thank you for this!
I read the manual cover to cover, but maybe I missed that option in there. Not even sure it's noted in the manual, but either way. Thanks for the tip, good video!
I have had my ID.4 for 2 weeks and I learned a lot here. Thanks
Glad I could help, Nathan!
You can dim the overhead lights also by keep touching them, they will dim… release when you are on the level you like
Awesome tip!
@@BachmanVolkswagenLouisville it helps if you RTFM 😼
@@maxtorbelgium Haha, I thought I was the only person that said RTFM to people. In the 90's I used to say that to customers (jokingly) when I sold car stereo systems.
Awesome tips! Thank you so much! My fav was switching the cup holder with the storage sections.
Glad you enjoyed, Randy! Thanks for watching
@@BachmanVolkswagenLouisville I hope you do more videos on different features of the ID.4 Such as: the headlight situation confuses me with the different buttons on the console and the different climate control options. I find myself just pushing things until I find one I like.
Did you know the ID4 will do a brake hold at stoplights? If you simply press the "resume" button on the cruise control it will lock the vehicle until you press the gas. It defaults to the last set speed if you have used it on this trip. If not it will default to 15mph. Let me know if this was helpful. Thanks
These are really good tips. I thought the configurable cup holders were obvious but apparently not since several people commented on them. The rear windows button is just stupid. It takes up just as much room as two more buttons would, and it is very finicky. But the tips on seat heaters, customizable favorites and headlight controls are great, and I have never seen them mentioned in any other reviews. Thanks for the great tips.
Glad I could help, Jim!
How else would activation of headlights work lol? Industry standard in eu for centuries.
Another secret: you don’t even need to touch the light to turn it on. Just swipe close to it.
Ooo nice tip! Thanks, Carsten!
Just got mine. The car is awesome!
You are the Man. Thanks for these cool tips.
What might be a secret and/or hidden is how to open all 4-windows at the same time. Press and hold the “Rear” button until it blinks orange, then press the two window buttons at the same time and all 4-windows will go down. Neat.
Thanks for the video.
Just got my ID4 and I have watched so many different reviews. Never did they show these little cool features. Excellent video! 👍🇮🇪
Congrats on the new ID4! Glad I could help, Robert!
I don´t have my ID.4 yet, and won´t until ´23 due to delivery delays, but I have certainly saved your video. Very well done, indeed!
Thanks so much, Jonathan!
Thanks, I have one of these on order and appreciate the video.
Thanks for watching, Todd!
Very interesting video, didn’t know about the heated seats tap trick, I agree though the rear window buttons are pointless as it takes at least 3 or 4 taps to get it to swap to rear which is frustrating.
Great video! Love the custom setting screen info. Thanks. :-)
In my Golf 8 I’ve got the same infotainment system with a few minor differences, and it’s not laggy at all. But last week; here in the south of England, it was a really hot day about 31 Celsius the main unit was not working until the interior cooled but also the sensors were messed up, I had travel assist active and and the speed detection told the car it could go 90mph! Needless to say I turned travel assist off because the max speed here is 70mph on the motorway, but I was driving through a small village which was 30mph✌️
The ACC speed increasing on its own happened to me twice. Incredibly dangerous. I've also had continuoual travel assist shutdowns, ACC shutdowns, steering wheel buttons not responding to touch sometimes the backlighting shoes out when the go dead, dynamic road sign display errors and a host of other software issues over the past 14 weeks.
I have a similar issue on my ID4; going over the Orwell Bridge, most times it increases the speed detection from 60mph to 80mph!
Hi , can you advise how to turn of deem led logo lights on id 4 cross pro 2022?
Wow, the two finger touch for heated seats and favourites are all it took for me to want this more now.
Its between this (in AWD) and Niro EV, but preferred the Kia for the buttons. I’m 95% sold! Just need Canada to get the AWD next year.
THANK YOU!!!
Thanks for watching, Carlos!
very informative! thx
Thanks for watching, Dave!
Great video. Loved the shortcut for heated seats.
Thanks for watching!
I got one on order. Question is what are the voice commands capable of doing?
What is the light assist in the menu? It has a feature where you can turn it on early medium or late. What does that mean?
Just got my new I.D 5 which is essentially the same car, these are good to know 👍🏻
Thanks for the hints.
Thanks for watching, Chris!
These are a great buy on the used car market since they depreciate so much. You can pickup a '21 ID.4 Pro RWD for $23K with less than 20K miles.
is there anywhere where i can still buy these dividers? all i see online is hella expensive 3d printed stuff
the lights you can also maintain them when they are on to dim them
Does anyone know how to turn on the AC of ID4?
Very good! Lots I didn’t know as an owner
Glad I could help, Al!
Sorry m8, NO!
I'll give you 1 good secret for your next video. Hold Windows rear button little bit longer and you hear piip, then left or right side will move up and down by 1 pressing.
I need your help. My windshield is frusting inside the cabin every morning.
ID.5 GTX?
I think that the response time on the screen is to make you keep your eyes on the road, because if it would be faster you,d keep looking at it. I really liked you comments but there are many English words that could be used to replace (cool) I stoped counting them but they were many!
Ha… that’s definitely a theory. I don’t think that’s the reason though!
I appreciate you being COOL and watching the video 😉
What is the empty spot in the hatch used for? it looks like a flashlight will snap-in or something.
It is for an Waring triangle, to place on the highway in case of accident etc. Standard in EU models.
Will the ID 4 ever have the birds eye view camera for U.S. The European model has the front camera under the VW logo
Hopefully in the next few years! No excuse for it not to have it now
If you hold the “rear” button down it will start to flash. Then you can control all 4 windows together. 😂
what to do when on the steering wheel of the car and the second display does not turn on😨
How do I use the voice command “hello ID”
Tap and hold on the lights and they dim :D
All I want to be able to do is have the car lock itself when I walk away like my Bolt. Most annoying missing feature of them all.
thx
Do these hints apply to the 2022 model? Just bought one. That control sucks pondwater!!!
Thank you. As a new owner, I found this very informative.
Thanks for watching!
How to charge the key
You missed holding the "Rear" button for a few seconds to control all windows, and also long pressing the lights to dim them. Those are the real hidden features I expected in this video
I hate when you lean to get something in the back or floor and car goes into parking MODE. How to turn it off.
The System for the rear Windows is Hiperstupid
Can you tell me how I can put a license plate and frame on the front of the car? I have one I want to put on but can’t see how that piece comes off. Thanks
Looks like tapping the Rear button for windows didn’t reliably activate it. On my test drive, I found those capacitive controls the worst feature of an otherwise pleasant cockpit.
They definitely can be a challenge. Hopefully they improve the consistency of the input
The side mirrors are driving me mad!
Does Anyone know how to unlock all the doors with out taking out your keys?
Door unlock button is on the right of child lock, upper right corner, just tap it.
It’s in the infotainment screen. You can set the locks to open as you approach the vehicle with the key in your pocket. It’s in the vehicle section, I think.
I just got an ID4 please how do I turn on the AC?
can we ban the word "super" now - but found info useful even on my id3
How often do they send updates to the car?
Good question. I’m not an owner so I’m not positive but probably every few months
If you hold the light it will turn the light lower if you want to
Why do I have to tap most buttons twice? Is it me or the car?
Next time you’re in an ID.4 put your hand up to the overhead lights but don’t touch the light 💡 apparently the light senses your hand and turns on!
That’s what I heard! I love that
Map lights are also dimmable, just long press and they will dim.
How do you change the color of the interior lights and screen display? Mine has been green since I got it. I think I stumbled upon setting before and tried to change it, but got a "this feature not available" message.
@@TianMcPherson in the menu there is an icon called ambient lighting you can select one of the predefined lighting profiles automatic or custom the custom also has a button in that menu where you can customize the different lighting.
🤣😂🤣😂🤣😂🤣😂Say something that really "HIDDEN" 🤔 🧐
Merci👍👍👍
Are those seats full leather covered? Looks like so.
Synthetic but yes
@@BachmanVolkswagenLouisville Nice. Those arent available on EU.
I cannot for the life of me figure why some reviewers complain that the touch sensitive screen controls are not like having a volume knob. What? If you can be happy with the touch sensitivity of an iPhone or Android then the VW’s touch should not be a big deal on any level.
If only the sensitivity or responsiveness of in-vehicle infotainment systems was as responsive as a smartphone…. That’s the dream.
No one talks about mobile charging in this car
I drive this car for work how the hell do I turn off the auto door locks?
wait how is storage a secret feature? Almost every vehicle has some form of storage back there.
the id4 is a nice car. All its missing is AWD and ventilated seats
There is an AWD version
@@BachmanVolkswagenLouisville yeah i know. I'm waiting for it to launch at the end of this year in the US
and a garage door opener
@@maeganwatson783 sure but you could just clip that to the sun shade like a lot of people do.... AWD and ventilated sits are a bit more difficult to add in :)
Hidden Feature: The ID PRO-S does NOT have a trailer hitch mount.
The ID.4 Pro S *RWD* doesn't. The AWD version does. But it sucks that they didn't make this clear until quite recently.
@@coyotegeek needs the 2” hitch … for bike racks
What NO one mentions -- and car designers don't bother with -- is how to change the angle of the headrest. I look at people leaned wa-ay back in their seat and the headrest would be fine. Well, I want the seat upright for medical reasons. Which means the d@mn headrest shoves into my neck and forces my head at an unnatural angle.
My last car was like that, I pumped the lumbar out more so that I was farther from the headrest. Much more comfy.
Tab and hold rear button and it opens all Windows
You tapped the "Rear" button 6 times and it didn't light. These, along with the other touch contols are lame.
I hear you. Apparently it’s more of a press and hold vs a tap. I didn’t know that trick
Clickbait and nothing else...
Have not een any hidden feature on the video.
It's total rubbish, if tesla y is available in your country get it, the id4 software and controls are garbage, unfortunately the Tesla Y is not available in Europe and I bought an ID4, what a massive mistake, as soon as the Y is available in Europe the ID4 is finished .
An overpriced car with lots of software problems...Nein danke!
Another secret is that all this info has been well publicised and in fact many of these points have been criticised in many press reviews as they don’t always work. Would be better if VW spent more effort fixing the glitches. Sorry this video was a complete non event, you told us nothing that has not already been referred to by others and VW themselves so it’s a bit ridiculous to claim them as ‘secrets’ 🤷🏻♂️🤷🏻♂️
That’s awesome that you knew about them, Brian! 🎉 🥇🎖
Actually I've watched a ton of videos on the ID.4 and none mentioned the swipe down and adding short cuts for stuff... same with the 2 finger tap for heated seats. Brian , you obviously missed the beginning of the vid where its' mentioned that you may already know about these and don't be a schmuck and leave messages like the one you left.
You’re a legend, William! Thanks for watching🤘🏻👊🏼
