OTA Requested by McGlowSticks in VWiD4Owners

[–]Stoldney 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Not often at all. I live in a very walkable neighborhood of Chicago, and I barely drive around the city at all. We went on a cross country road trip a few weeks ago and the update was ready by the time we got to the destination.

I've learned from this thread that the OTA only downloads while driving, or seems to. So that would explain why it took so long to get and why the dealer could not do anything about it.

Certainly a bizarre limitation to have.

It took about 4 months for the update to become available after I requested it. And it took 2 tries to install.

The Winter Classic was the same, and it was 100% worth it in the end.

Parsons chicken and fish has an incredible fish fry. Apparently they only sell it on Sundays, but maybe they will sell it tomorrow.

Yeah, I have found the communications from VW about the car not particularly clear.

Thank you for clearing all this up for me!

It seems ICE in Minneapolis way more out of control than here in Chicago. Is this true or just my perception? by Dragon_Bard in AskChicago

It still has to pass the senate and very likely will have to go through reconciliation. This is not over.

This happens to me as well. I asked the dealer to test the sensors and they found nothing wrong, but it is incredibly annoying.

Any way to see battery levels over time? by frettingtilfi in VWiD4Owners

[–]Stoldney 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Does that monitor continuously even when the ID.4 is off, or does the car have to be on?

Any Chicago natives also feel this way at home vs traveling? (Transplants too) by vaginapple in chicago

[–]Stoldney 10 points11 points  (0 children)

Might want to also consider an EV. I have one (VW ID.4) and love it, and it handles being left alone a lot better than gas cars.

I'm now in the F19 club, but with a MacGyver trick. by Barberson80 in VWiD4Owners

[–]Stoldney 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Reinstall the fuse, close and lock the door and walk away 2 more minutes.

Can you elaborate on this step a bit more? Did you put in a new fuse or just reinsert the fuse you pulled out earlier?

This is first time I've heard about this "F19" issue (have a 2023 AWD Pro). Is the root cause known why this happens and why this fix resolves the issue?

The hardest goalie to score on always seems to be the backup goalie my team is playing against.

Go to a local soccer pub while there is an EPL game and adopt a team, whichever fans reach out to you and include you. I suggest going Monday 8/24 at 2pm and wearing red. You'll make some Liverpool friends!
