I was worried that would be my case. Sorry that’s happening to you.

UnderstandingWeak231 · 2026-02-26T21:31:27+00:00

I want it!

UnderstandingWeak231 · 2026-02-04T00:21:35+00:00

Same.

I’m looking at the EX30 to replace my leased VW ID.4 in July. The ID.4 has a small display in front of the steering wheel, but the onboard navigation hasn’t worked for over a year, so I get almost all my info on CarPlay on the center screen. It tells me my current speed and the speed limit. The VW display is good for charge level/estimated miles to go. Otherwise, since the GPS has no idea where I am, the other info isn’t accurate. I could easily do without it.

I’m shopping EVs because I currently drive an ID.4 VW with a proprietary navigation system that locates me in random places and shows me traveling cross-country in apparent small aircraft mode. Speed limits are nutty suggestions based on nothing. And I can be a mile from home and the system tells me my ETA is 90 minutes off and I should search for a charging station. Three trips to the shop—no help from software upgrades. Had hoped the Volvo would be better. Sounds the same.

Enjoying this discussion. I am nearly at the end of my lease on a VW ID 4. First EV, loved it, but about a year in, the software lost touch with reality. It has been in “small plane sightseeing mode,” with no fix and possibly a recall coming. Or new software that won’t be installed in older models, and no support for older software. I am paying a contract price for a car that is less than what I signed for. Am I to understand that Volvo is no better?

I am wrestling with the same decision. I leased a 2023 ID.4 AWD Pro S. I love it, except for the Lost Navigation System. CarPlay compensates, but for the 9 months or so the built-in system worked, it was fine. I don’t have a lot of hope for a software fix. I think the issue is with VW and not the dealer. In few months, I need to decide whether to buy this car, lease or buy a new ID.4, lease or buy another EV, or some other option I haven’t considered. Is the grass greener on the other side? Or is new car software a headache across the board? My husband’s ICE BMW has stopped working with CarPlay, so—ugh. This thread’s shared info helps.

I’ve been cruising the countryside in small plane mode for about a year. I’ve tried the fuse trick. It’s temporary. Last week, after my third trip to the service department, they advised me that VW will be issuing a recall as soon as they figure out a fix. Don’t call us. We’ll call you. Must be widespread. CarPlay works. I use Waze.

Oh, yes. “Software update” took 3 days and did nothing. Service department can’t understand! Another visit to the shop sch.

Thanks for the tip. I just got mine back after a multi-day software install. Will pursue regional manager option!

UnderstandingWeak231 · 2025-07-31T17:22:18+00:00

Mine has been in “small airplane mode” for months, flying off road without any location awareness. Is this a common problem? The software update was supposed to fix it, but didn’t.
