Take a tour of our latest creation: The VW ID.Buzz with custom pop top tent.

Finally washed the Buzz after the road trip and learned something important:

Washing the giant toaster is the easy part.

Drying it? 😂

Every time I think I’m done, water comes pouring out of another crack, seam, mirror, sliding door handle, or the sliding door track from another dimension.

Dry it.
Open the door. Water.
Close the door. Water.
Move the van. More water.
Come back 20 minutes later… somehow MORE WATER.

At this point I’m convinced the Buzz stores emergency drinking water inside the body panels.

For those detailing their Buzz at home:

what compact blower are you using to chase water out of the seams, cracks, mirrors, badges, and sliding door tracks?

Looking for something small/easy to grab during the wash—not necessarily a giant shop blower.

Bonus points if it’s cordless and strong enough to defeat the Buzz’s seemingly unlimited water supply. 😂

I'm keenly awaiting the update from 6.0 to 6.0.1 which should, hopefully, allow me to use my phone as a key.

Anyone got this working yet?

I have a family member who lives outside Friday Harbor on San Juan Island. They have a spine injury and have a hard time riding long distances in most cars.

They are very interested in buying a VW ID.Buzz; but haven't been able to find any dealers where they can test drive the seat before putting money down on a deposit.

I'm hoping to find a Buzz owner who is willing to let them sit in the seat to see if it would work for them. Ideally one of the 6-way powered seats that are fully adjustable.

Thanks!

I love my first edition Stella Blue. Drove her off the lot in March 2025 and have never looked back. She's been on multiple road trips and a Southeast US sojourn is planned for this fall. But VW built a van with obvious camping potential with no cabin control setting for overnight camping! I was happy with the ID-BUZZ-MONITOR camping solution, it worked just fine. But now - to add insult to injury - VW literally pulled the plug on that 3rd party app in the US. Am now resorting to the low-rent solution, and waiting for VW to do the right thing and update the 2025 software or cooperate with a 3rd party - to provide a solution. Looks like I might be waiting (weighting) a long time.

Hi, I own a 2025 Pro-S model. I am looking at making a DIY board in the rear that is like the multiflex board that other models come with. Has anyone built one? if so can you share the dimensions of the build and also any other suggestions to make it better. Thank you

With the 27's coming out, I'm sure the dealers will be anxious to get rid of the remaining 25's. But, at least in my area, all I'm seeing are the monotone 1 color style.

For those of you who have Wrapped yours, are you happy with the wraps x amount of time later?

It looks like, from searching wraps on this thread, that you can indeed make a monotone into a two tone, or more, so I s/b able to snap up a pretty good deal and then, what, do you have the dealer wrap it? Or is this a paint job shop's job? (I'm NOT going to be able to do it myself)

I'm hoping to pull the trigger on one this fall - planning to move to an area w/o a VW dealer, and was warned about the recall/updates, etc. How true is this? Would a new on the lot from a dealer have all of the updates already plugged in? I LOVE these vans, and was super excited to see they came out as an EV! But don't want to be stranded either. :/

Its a neat video hes a bit rough but thats his style. But if your looking into messing around with your buzz its a neat video for some ideas and what not.

About 2 months ago, someone posted a 3d printable thing that inserts into the driver's side seatbelt clasp. I cannot find the post. If anyone can recall or saved the link to the file, thank you in advance.

EDIT - For future search: Seatbelt alarm silencer

I'm thinking of doing a roadtrip with the newest addition to the family (my 5 m.o. son and our new beautiful blue ID Buzz lol) during the September long weekend, from Vancouver to the rockies.

Looking to see if anyone has any experience taking the Buzz on a trip in the Canadian rockies, more specifically, from Jasper to Banff (or vice versa) along the icefield parkway? From Vancouver to Jasper OR Banff seems the charging options are straightforward enough.

If anyone could help with answering the questions would be amazing:

1. Distance-wise and ABRP would say it's doable, but with the elevation changes along the way, is it still a comfortably safe drive range-wise?

2. Would Vancouver-Jasper-Banff or Vancouver-Banff-Jasper be the better choice?

3. if doable, any tips/recommendations about where to charge and what to expect?

All the research I'm doing points towards the trip being viable!, though with perhaps a detour along the way to Field B.C., and/or Canmore AB for Level 3 chargers. BUT it's our first E.V. and we don't have the experience to know what may go wrong...

UPDATE: We're gonna go for it!!! All signs point to yes, maybe photos to follow in a few weeks :)

I recently had a baby and am looking for a good camera to see the baby in the backseat. I came across the Ottocast but it looks like it needs wired carplay and I'm pretty sure the 2025 pro S is wireless carplay so I can't use that. A lot of the other brands look like they use a cigarette lighter for power so that is out too. I was wondering if anybody had any success with a specific camera for the backseat?
