Software Update Messed Up Infotainment Screen. Any Chance it Will Fix Itself?

I just had VH 91 installed at the dealership and my app was updated with door locking/unlocking -Yay! But my touchscreen suddenly lost driver side heat warming (my seat just disappeared) and inexplicably there are two AC indicators and a power on/off in addition to the clima button. I’m also getting an airbag warning too. Any chance it fixed itself overnight? Going to the dealer is a pain with my work schedule.

5 reasons I'll never drive another ID4

I'm nearing the end of a 36-month lease on my 2023 ID4. Here are 5 reasons why I'll never buy or lease another ID4:

  1. The car violently slams on the brakes every time I back into my garage. I called the dealer and they assured me that there's no way to permanently disable the ID4's whiplash feature. It has to be turned off in the settings menu every time the car is put into reverse.
  2. Android Auto randomly disconnects every few days while driving, so I lose music and directions in the middle of my trip. To reconnect it, I need to pull over and take 5-10 minutes to reinstall it, which is fantastic when I'm running late for an appointment. I realize the car has its own navigation and radio, but I want to use android apps because it’s not 1995.
  3. There's no button to open the rear window. To open it, you need to take your eyes off the road and touch the button that toggles between front and rear windows. My 8-year-old threw up all over the rear door and seat because I couldn't open the window fast enough.
  4. The automatic windshield wipers refuse to activate when it's pouring outside, while randomly activating in dry weather, scaring the #*&% out of everyone in the car (they're extremely loud against dry glass).
  5. The driver controls are touch activated. It's fine when the car is stopped, but try to precisely tap or slide your finger while driving at 65 mph and tell me that's better than a simple button or dial. Why add this extra challenge to my drive? I don’t get it.

6,000 km in and the dreaded AC error appeared. Service wants 100€ for a rental while they "investigate" for 2 days. Is this normal? I

Hi everyone, new here.

My ID.4 just hit the 6,000 km (3,700 miles) mark and I’ve already got the "AC not working properly" error (Klimaanlage funktioniert nicht richtig. Werkstatt aufsuchen).

Since the car is practically brand new and under full factory warranty, I’m pretty annoyed by the dealer's response:

  • Wait time: 2 weeks until they can even look at it.
  • The "Deal": They need it for 2 days, but they want me to pay 50€ ($55) per day for a rental car.

Is this normal for VW service? I feel like a warranty issue on a new car shouldn't cost the customer extra money for a loaner.

Has anyone dealt with this specific AC error? Is it usually just a sensor/software bug that they could quickly scan, or is this a sign of a bigger hardware issue (compressor/coolant)?

I’m tempted to push back on the rental fee, especially since the AC system is critical for battery thermal management. Any advice on how to handle the dealership would be greatly appreciated! I'm based in Germany btw.

I'm a truck driver and my fob let go of the physical key while I was hooking up, and I ran over my fob and cracked it, breaking the metal spar. It still works, but I fear it won't last in this condition.
VW says the shell is non-replaceable, but I'd rather not buy another fob. Does anyone sell a replacement housing/shell?
