Welcome to taking the car this is a brand new VW id3
so you might be wondering how does it work when you get in the car well there's no need
to press the start button when you get in the car the car automatically detects you
hit online mode and we're ready to go then all you need to do is make sure you put your foot on
the brake pedal and that will start the car
and then you just put it into drive and now you're ready to go that's simple i do like how the pedals
down here have a play and pause button i think that's very cool welcome to the inside of the vw
ied3 electric car i'm going to show you some of the technology in here and there's a lot of
technology in here so i hope you enjoy this right let's look at the main infotainment system so this
is very similar to what you get in the golf 8 so looking at the screen here we have telephone
radio media navigation vehicle sound help settings driver assist and then we have our overview screen
which shows you everything here this car has wireless android auto and wireless carplay as well
and then you've got your quick settings to your vehicle and your telephone and
as my has moved towards it you can see that it pops up and shows you more information
and then we've got my phone settings here you can see your efficiency and again settings radio media
help so we've got these quick settings and on this map overview here you can also see where
the charges are it says a 50 kilowatt there and there's another one down here there's another one
here another one here so which is in fact where i am i'm right in an electric charging point right
now let's go through the settings now so first of all let's have a look at telephone telephone
works as you expect it to you can press the button on the side you've got your dial you've got your
messages you've got your settings you can go into your contacts you can see who you called so you
have all the options to do that so it's nice and easy to use if we go back out of here we go to
radio media you can see again your radio stations your media options bluetooth my media and you can
even have your favorites so you can have quick access to them so that's very self-explanatory
let's go back out let's go to navigation navigation this is vw's navigation system
it gives you suggested destinations that you might have been to it lets you search you can search for
the dealer so i borrowed this car from caffeine's vw espawn if you're looking for a new or used vw
please pay them a visit they're fantastic you can see that's how i can navigate to them from here
really easy to use i can see my contacts if they have addresses and i can search for destinations
last destinations favorites i can set those up so the navigation system is very easy to use
i can go back to the map here i can see my overview and i can zoom out and i can move
it around i can tap on this quick setting here and i can go to auto night day if you leave it in auto
it will obviously change when it gets dark and another thing to you might notice is range so it
will show you how far you can go on the range of the car that's navigation okay let's look
at vehicle settings if we go into vehicle you can see the status here it shows your current settings
so this is the charging setting so if the car is charging it will give you information about that
right now it's telling me we're 71 charge if i plug it in it will then show you that
you saw that earlier in the video when i demonstrated the charging
if i click on locations it will let me add current position to charging point so this is
a charging point we're here if i just save that as more there we go and now it's saved as more
if i click on the vehicle i can see the vehicle settings so comfort lighting light animation so
it turns on the lights does an animation for you and as i was walking towards the carpet earlier it
detected me automatically and turned on by itself which is really cool how long the lighting will
stay on when you exit the car this is obviously a touch screen switch on when approached which
is what happened to me and then you can choose the different animations animation one or two or off
turn signals can be dynamic so they will go from side to side or classic you can see your vehicle
status showing you your total distance covered you can see your tire pressure so this doesn't show
you individual tire pressures but it will show you whether they're all at the right pressure and if
there is a pressure loss if i click on status it also will show me when the next service is due
so i can see that here and i can put the wipers into the service position so they're up so you can
get access to the car we just go back to vehicle here you can see here we've also got the mirrors
you can adjust the mirror so they move together which i think useful
you can have it so they fold in when locking they automatically go off in the rain they work
in reverse gear service position is there as well tires you can set the tire pressures here
you can adjust the headlight settings so dynamic light assist dynamic cornering light so it will
dim the lights when cars approach you and also turn as you go around corners you can change what
side of the road you're traveling on if you're traveling into europe you can change that as well
and then you can flip it around like that you can see your brake information
and if you go to interior you can then see the cockpit which is in front of me here
and you can reset the trip information you can change the id light so the id light is the light
along here which changes when something happens you can have it so it changes in these different
scenarios so when the navigation is announced when there's voice control when there's a call
and we can adjust the interior lighting as well whether you want it dark
or bright and this will change also you can have it changes with the day
let's go to data so data will show me how much electricity i've used it will show me my range
my mile short term long term synth charge as well we can go into sound sound settings will let me
adjust the range of the sound whether it's more bassy where there's more mid there's more travel
allowing me just to focus whether it's forwards or backwards in the middle or not and the volume of
the various settings such as radio announcements volume control it will allow it to adjust this
if i go faster or slower and it will also reduce infotainment when parking and give you a good buy
sound as well and you can adjust the navigation announcement settings as well in here so this is
all very straightforward very simple and easy to understand so far if we go into the general
settings we have the system settings we have we connect which will allow you to connect to the app
let's have a look at the assistant settings now so if i click on the assist button or this
option in the menu it's really intuitive it's got a diagram showing you where everything is so if we
tap on this this is the front assist emergency braking that will automatically break the car
if it thinks you're going to hit something it will also give you the red light on the dashboard here
from the id light which is awesome to see and you can adjust that so it's early late medium
or off it will have swerve support and this will also detect people and cyclists in addition if we
click on the car in front that's the adaptive cruise control and you can choose the last
distance selected you can have your road layout preview end of q preview so this is interesting
this uses the car communication system car 2x which can connect to traffic lights and other cars
to give you real-time information that's not active right now and it's something which is
coming but that's a cool feature to have if i tap on the lane here this is a driver alert system so
if i'm feeling tired the car will notice and it will tell me to have a break the traffic sign
is a traffic sign assistance a dynamic road sign display which will give you speed warnings if you
want it to and will warn you over a certain speed and it will also show you on the dashboard as well
and if we tap on the lanes of the road of this picture in front of us we get the lane assist
lane departure warning which will turn the steering wheel and help you stay in lane that
is the assistant settings really easy to access really easy to get everything to nice and easy
we have the air conditioning so this is cool so it will let you turn on the air conditioning at
a certain time because it's an electric car to warm up your car and you can set it on a
timer for your departure time so when you go to work when you come back from work you can set
that on the car or through the wii connect app and then we've got stage friendly air
conditioning with comfort functions so you can do the automatic window heating so the windows
stay heated and you can start the stationary air conditioning when the vehicle is locked because
that means stationary air conditioning so the car will heat itself or cool itself no matter if
you're in the car or not it will still do it which is awesome which is the benefit of electric cars
background so this lets me adjust the backgrounds so you can hopefully see
here if i change the backgrounds the mood lighting on the car which is here and here
will change and i can change color to go purple we can go to
orange or yellow and it will all change so i'm obviously a sucker for blue and red because those
are the channel colors so here we have blue and red so that's really easy to use and then
i can adjust the brightness of it in a certain area so let's crank it up to maximum here we go
looks even cooler so as well as individual i can do it in moods so we could have desire which
would give me this blue and green finish we can have euphoria which will turn into red vitality
which will turn it to yellow and you can see it on the cameras here and then we've got automatic
which will change automatically eternity which is greenish infinity which is yellow so i love
i'm a sucker for mood lighting i love the ambient lighting i really miss that on my car
and then we've got android auto and i'm able to go into my music i'm able to go into my settings
just like you would expect android auto to work ok google how far away is caffeine's vw you spawn
if you drive caffeine's volkswagen eastbourne is 2.2 miles away
so there we go that's where i got this car from i borrowed it from them so please pay them a visit
so that's android auto we got the satellite view we've got everything we could want
if we plug in my iphone it will bring up apple carplay and this is wireless car play as well
so i can control it without having my phone plugged in just like
with android water and it works exactly the same way i can go into my maps this is apple maps
i can go out of apple maps i can go into google maps and i get exactly the same as i would have
got from android auto except for it's obviously using apple carplay instead of android auto so
that works wireless is fantastic so if we click on climate we can go in we can see the smart climate
you can see the classic climate and we can see air care as well we can turn it off as well
so that's really quite like the smart climate the parking menu this brings up the reversing
camera it's a very clear reversing camera can adjust the control settings how loud it is
you can adjust the brightness and contrast
and you can see here a full back of the car angle as well
so you can see everything that's going on who's coming and going this is a very cool camera angle
and you can see here you've got your sensors as well so as options on this car you can get it
with an augmented reality head-up display so you can actually have it giving you directions on the
windscreen in effect so you can see where you're going when using navigation so there are other
options available on this car on different specs this is the first edition trim so this is the
first model which is available in the uk but as i mentioned before there are eight different trims
available lastly if we go into mode these are the driving modes we have eco comfort sport
and individual and we can go into that and you can adjust them to see whether you want
the chassis in comfort mode the steering comfort mode or sport the drive in sport mode for example
the light assistance for eco comfort so you can adjust all of these
or you can just hit the buttons in front like this and you can choose to go between them
like that you can see here we have the touch buttons which allow you also to swipe
and you can adjust the temperature by pressing up and down on those the touch sensitive and
volume by doing this swiping up and down like that and then you have quick settings to the
climate control by pressing there and then to the side here you have your light settings which you
saw got brighter as i got closer i can quickly defrost the front and rear window if it's foggy
adjust the lights and the modes of lighting as well from that touch sensitive button
so that is the main infotainment system this car has everything really i've got
nothing bad to say about it at all i think this is a fantastic car i think if you're
after a car that is similar to a golf but you want to go electric then this is a great car
to get you can't go wrong i think he'd agree that you'd be buying a car which has got
all the benefits of the golf and also it's good for the environment and saves you money
the only thing obviously you need to keep in mind is charging in your home and how long it
will take to charge the car from a standard wall charger but if you leave it overnight
then you should be fine it shouldn't be an issue at all so i recommend this car check it out if
you're looking for a new car i borrowed this car from volkswagen in eastbourne so please pay
them a visit they're really great they will help you with any of your car needs i hope
