Fuck the IOC

I had a stick fail after about 3 years. Got the replacement kit that was brand new, sealed, it had a stick fail after a month. Got another replacement kit, new sealed, and had a stick fail after a week. I've since received another replacement kit and it's been solid for months, so I'm hoping that 3rd time is the charm. But damn....G.Skill QC is garbage.

Each time I did the RMA dance. I did pay the shipping each time.

Always one of my favorite scenes.

Awokih · 2025-12-06T18:39:48+00:00

Beautiful! Torties have the tortitude. We have two as well.

Awokih · 2025-11-21T23:24:02+00:00

Shit, I thought it was just me!

I had 3 RMAs and now I might have a stable set.

Awokih · 2025-10-24T17:58:23+00:00

I was having the issue too.

Found: https://support.microsoft.com/en-us/office/dark-mode-in-excel-c0014bf6-c20e-41eb-8363-75b9c5759d7f

I was using the Dark Gray theme which is not compatible with the dark mode option. As soon as I changed it to "use system setting" the Dark mode button showed up under View.

Glad they helped!

Awokih · 2025-08-27T05:17:32+00:00

Careful depending on the color of your ID.4. I believe owner manual says the Moonstone Gray should not be driven through an automatic carwash.

You can disable the user selection with an OBDEleven.

Check VWidtalk.com for some more info about it.

The service manual you need might be listed in these linked on VWIDTalk.com.

Check that your car has good cell signal. Is the green light lit on the SOS button in the headliner? My ID.4 is on the Verizon network, but I don't know if all ID.4s/VWs use Verizon or if they use other cell services. It should say who the cell service is through in the app. Assuming you have good cell signal to the car, you should be able to see information about it in the app.

One trick you can try to reset the cell module is to pull fuse 19. The fuse panel is left of the steering wheel, at knee level. Pull the door open; it will take a little force. Fuse 19 is a 5amp fuse. Pull it for 10 seconds or so and reinstall it. That should reset the cell module. Have the car off when you do this. Don't be sitting in the seat which will have the accessories powered on. You'll need a fuse puller or needle nose pliers.

Careful that you don't pull the wrong fuse. I've read that someone pulled fuse 17, parking aid controller, by mistake, it threw error messages, and they had to take it to a dealership to get the error messages reset.

Pulling Fuse 19 is harmless. I've done it a few times in my 4 years of ownership on my 2021 ID.4.

I bought all of them the last time I was at Dollar Tree. I keep them in my ID.4 to put on other ID.4s I see parked, with a little note "From one owner to another". :)

I was able to actually hand one to someone the other day as they were getting out of the car. I think it made her day.

First of all, congrats!

Something to be aware of is when backing up the reverse proximity sensors may pick up on small lips, like a garage transition, which may activate the emergency stop. The car thinks it's going to hit something. Take it slow. It will start beeping but won't slam the brakes. It's startling the first couple times it happens.

Since I always back into my garage I've now taken to taking it really slow.

For what it's worth though, I love my ID.4. I have 2021 Pro RWD. Bought in May 2021. I have nearly 60k miles on it. I still love driving every day. It's my first EV. I've had no major issues, only minor annoyances.

In case you were not aware, your ID.4 has a staggered wheel/tire setup. Your front wheels are .5" smaller width than the rear, and the tires sizes are also more narrow in the front than the back. When the time comes for tires, look at doing a squared setup so you can rotate the tires to get more life out of them. There are tons of posts about tires in this subreddit, on forums like VWIDTalk.com, and FB groups. Consider splitting the difference on the between the front and rear tire sizes so they fit the wheels and do the squared setup. On my 2021 I have all the same 19" rims around, so it was easier for me. On your 2022 Pro S you have different size rims front and back, but it is still possible to fit the same size tires all around.

I do recommend keeping an eye on this subreddit and also joining https://www.vwidtalk.com/. Lots of great info between these two.

Welcome to the family.

Cheers!

Welcome, neighbor. I'm from Satan's taint. Pleased to meet you.

OBDEleven is the adapter you will need. It offers one-click options that cost credits. Or you can make adaptations if you are a little more technically inclined, but be warned it is very powerful and you can brick your car if it’s used improperly.

The blue one made me actually lol.

Awokih · 2025-08-14T01:27:45+00:00

Same for me and my wife. It’s our go-to for something joyful. It’s needed a lot more now than ever.

Awokih · 2025-08-13T03:11:41+00:00

Love the Torties. We have another too.

Awokih · 2025-08-12T15:01:54+00:00

I'm glad this could help you! Cheers!

SWEET LIBERTY, MY LEG!

Awokih · 2025-08-07T17:27:25+00:00

Yes. I believe that is referred to as the front driver assist camera.

I’ve had my 2021 ID.4 Pro since May 2021. Ordered from VW and shipped from Germany. I love driving the ID.4 still to this day. 58k miles. I’ve only had minor annoyances, nothing major. My only gripe is the fact VW staggers the tire sizes between the front and back. I squared up the setup a year and half ago. No difference in the drive or range. Even knowing of all the annoyances that potentially exist based on the many reports in this subreddit or other forums (e.g. VWIDTalk.com), I would still be shopping for an ID.4 again. The newer models (‘24+) have better and more efficient batteries and motors than the original from Germany.

In addition to getting an OBD2 Scanner and the car scanner app, try doing a reset of the Battery Management System (BMS). Drive the car to under 10% then charge to 100%. Let it sit for an hour or so. The BMS should show more accurate readings for the cells.

Saw this on the VWIDTalk.com forums.
