NOTICE

If you use outdated navigation data, there may be adverse effects on the navigation system. It may not be possible to determine up-to-date routes, or route guidance may guide you to an incorrect destination.

  • Always ensure that your navigation data is kept up-to-date.

Navigation Data Online - Additional Information

Regions in the navigation data that you do not use can be removed from the system under certain circumstances, e.g.

navigation data memory low on space. If you subsequently need these regions again at a later time, the navigation system will download them again on request. No We Connect or We Connect Plus contract is needed for this. This service depends on the Volkswagen ID.3 vehicle equipment and is only available in some countries.

  1. Switch the ignition on.
  2. Establish an Internet connection if you have not already done so.

Introduction

Using the phone interface, you can connect your cell phone to the Infotainment system and control the phone functions via the Infotainment system. The sound is played back via the Volkswagen ID.3 vehicle speakers. You can connect up to two cell phones to the Infotainment system at the same time (→ Phone interface) .

The functions depend on the vehicle equipment, are not available in all countries and depend on the cell phone used and its operating system.

High speeds, poor weather and road conditions, a lot of background noise, even outside the vehicle, and the network quality can impair phone calls in the Volkswagen ID.3 vehicle.

The phone interface may contain an antenna amplifier that improves the reception quality of the cell phone.

You generally only need to pair a device like a cell phone once. You can reestablish the device's connection to the Infotainment system at any time via Bluetooth or Wi-Fi without re-pairing your device.

For a phone call via the hands-free system or at a high volume, a conversation may also be heard by third parties outside the vehicle.

Locations with special regulations

Switch off the cell phone and phone interface at locations where there is a risk of explosions. These locations are not always clearly identified. These include, for example:

  • Areas near pipes and tanks containing chemicals
  • Lower decks in ships and ferries
  • Areas near Volkswagen ID.3 vehicles powered by liquefied petroleum gas, such as propane and butane.
  • Areas with chemicals or particles in the air, such as flour, dust, or metal powder
  • All other locations where the engine, the vehicle's drive system or the cell phone must be switched off.

WARNING

In potentially explosive environments, e.g. in the vicinity of gas stations and at other similar locations with specific regulations, ignition sparks caused by electrostatic discharge or cell phones, for example, can cause an explosion or a fire and lead to serious or fatal injuries.

  • Switch off the cell phone and phone interface at locations where there is a risk of explosions, e.g. in the vicinity of gas stations, and locations with specific regulations.
  • Do not use the cell phone and phone interface at locations where there is a risk of explosions, e.g. in the vicinity of gas stations, and locations with specific regulations.

NOTICE

Radiation from cell phones that are switched on can interfere with sensitive technical and medical devices, potentially causing malfunctions or damage to the devices.

  • Always switch off the cell phone in areas with special regulations relating to or prohibiting the use of cell phones.

Types of phone interface

Depending on the country and Volkswagen ID.3 vehicle equipment, your vehicle may have the following mobile phone interfaces:

  • Phone interface basic configuration.

    The phone interface uses the Hands-Free Profile (HFP ) Bluetooth profile for transmission. This enables the use of phone functions via the Infotainment system and played back via the vehicle speakers.

  • Convenience phone interface.

    Just like the basic configuration of the phone interface, the Convenience phone interface uses the HFP Bluetooth profile.

    The Convenience phone interface can be equipped with the wireless charging function (→ Sockets) . In order to use the features of the wireless charging function, you need to place a suitable cell phone correctly in the storage compartment. Depending on the Volkswagen ID.3 vehicle equipment and cell phone compatibility, the cell phone connects to the vehicle antenna when you place it in the storage compartment. This improves reception and call quality.
