All news in the ID 3.0 software

In the past few days, several users in the Volkswagen ID group on Facebook have started to receive their updates OTA to 3.0.
There were 1,000 who could have registered their interest in being part of a first rollout of the 3.0 software.
This should very much indicate that the rest of us who have not signed up should start getting the update shortly.

Latest update from Volkswagen ID

(Updated 2022-05-12)

Last week we informed you about the latest status of the current ID. software 3.0 OTA wave.
Now that we have analyzed the results of the current OTA wave, we would like to inform you about the next steps, as promised:

• We will start an additional identification. software 3.0 OTA wave for those who signed up for the “I want OTA” action via email but could not be included in the previous wave (note that the vehicle must meet the requirements. All emails will be reconsidered received by 30 November , 2022)
• We have noticed that a few vehicles are currently unable to receive OTA updates due to a certain hardware configuration. We are working on a service solution for these vehicles.
• The above mentioned ID. software 3.0 OTA wave is scheduled to start in December 2022. We will soon provide you with detailed information about the start of the upcoming wave as well as tips to successfully install the OTA update.
• We know you had to wait a while for the update and want to thank you for your feedback and patience.
• To avoid confusion, we would also like to inform you that we are launching another OTA campaign for certain Volkswagen and SKODA brand MEB vehicles that were built and delivered with ID. software 3.0 already installed.
  

  The customers with certain MEB vehicles have ID. software 3.0 already installed during the production process will receive an optimized version of the ID. software 3.0 software factory version via an OTA promotion.

  As usual, the update will be rolled out in waves that grow in number of participants. The software contains optimizations and no new features. In the coming weeks, participating vehicles will display the familiar message in the infotainment system.
  You can find more information about the update in the release notes found there and start the installation as usual via the exit panel.

Check that you have the correct version

To be able to take part in 3.0, the car must have been updated to v.2.4 at a workshop.
If you have not booked your visit, you should do so as soon as possible, as you will also receive a new and better 12v battery that should not run the risk of being discharged as easily as the batteries that came with the early versions of the ID4. If you have a newer ID4/ID5, you don’t have to worry about this.

To get the 3.0 software you must have v.2.4 installed and you can see that if you go under Settings and check system info:
ID software 2.3.0 software 0912
If it says 0912, you have v.2.4.

How long does the update take?

The update takes a couple of hours, so make sure you don’t have anything planned in the near future.
After you have installed and received 3.0, you will also immediately receive another update to receive v3.1. The update from 3.0 > 3.1 is said to take a few minutes.

System update failed

Unfortunately, it seems that some people got their cars “bricked” after updating, i.e. something goes wrong with the software and the car has to be taken to a workshop. SO a word of warning here that if you have something planned and absolutely cannot be without the car, wait a bit.

You then get a box that says:
OUE5_47 Contact your workshop.

Trying to keep the information updated here with what I see coming in from various groups and forums.
If you have done the update, please leave a comment and tell us how it went.
