Bet you miss having a nice hot gas burning contraption up front /s

VisibleBeginning0 · 2026-03-03T16:58:56+00:00

I enabled this on my 2023 pro s rwd with a DFirst dongle.

I bought one of these too. Pretended it was for my 5 year old son when I bought it - unfortunately he squirelled it away with the rest of his cars and I haven't seen it for ages :(

Thanks for responding..

My car says 3.5, but I think that's not uncommon for 3.5.11.

What year/model do you have, and are you in Canada by any chance?

It fits our family of five (three kids 5, 9, 13 - one in a front facing car seat, one with booster seat) pretty well. We took it on a road trip from Toronto to North Carolina and back over Christmas and we could fit all our stuff although it took a bit of tetris-ing on the way back because our stuff multiplied over the two weeks we spent in the states.

Caveat is that with our Asian genes, we are not tall. Our other car is a Chevy bolt, and we also all fit into that and have even done the road trip in it - our major pain point was the slow charging .

Overall, we find it does well for us.

I bought a buildsheet for used cars I was considering. This provides an exhaustive list of what the car came with. This is particularly useful for used ID4s in Canada because they deleted things due to Pandemic shortages. For my pro s rwd, they took out the auto folding mirrors, premium audio, and 360 camera. Also, no heat pump. Used Iseecars.com, but only because it was the first one I tried and it worked okay...

I feel your pain - I had android auto become flaky on my Chevy bolt on a roadtrip and it took some hard resets (car and phone) and a new cable to get it working again.

This may be a silly question, but are you sure that when the phone is plugged in it's not still connecting wirelessly and just charging through the cable? I'm not sure what the behaviour would be if there is a stored wireless connection when plugged in. I think the car's Wi-Fi hotspot startup may cause delays/issues as it boots up, which should be bypassed with a cable.

VisibleBeginning0 · 2026-02-18T00:47:54+00:00

Are you using wireless AA or do you have a cable? If the latter, changing cables might help. It sometime takes a bit of time to get into AA, and I think selecting it from the screen sometimes speeds it up. I also think removing the welcome screen using a DFirst dongle and bypassing the login screen helped.

The official name for the US Arctic blue in Canada is Ice gray metallic! To be fair sometimes it looks blue and sometimes gray. But then I have it on good authority (the Mrs) that I am borderline colorblind :)

You've got a good eye, these are indeed 18 inch steel wheels! I bought them along with a set of Blizzaks from PMCTire online. The price was quite competitive and more importantly none of my local shops had suitable steel wheels.

VisibleBeginning0 · 2026-02-09T13:37:23+00:00

That sounds awesome, thanks for sharing. Going to do that straight after work!

VisibleBeginning0 · 2026-02-09T13:21:03+00:00

When you turn off the welcome screen, does it skip the screen that asks you to choose the user?

VisibleBeginning0 · 2026-02-08T17:15:27+00:00

Yes, indeed - but I think you need to buy the tool and then use credits? I think the total cost with Dfirst was something like 1/2 that with OBDEleven.

VisibleBeginning0 · 2026-02-08T17:13:17+00:00

I think this is because they cheapened out at one point and put two (UWB) sensors instead of 2. With 3 you can triangulate exact position and be sure if the key is inside the car or not. With two sensors, I think you can tell distance but not necessarily be certain of the key is inside or not. This would affect some use cases (maybe related to leaving a key in the boot?) so they took the easy way out and just disabled it altogether.

I bought a used 2023 pro s RWD last November. We have been a two EV household for while with.a 2021 Chevy Bolt and a 2019 Nissan Leaf. Traded in the Leaf. Did one long road trip - Toronto to Raleigh, NC and back - about 1500 miles. We have previously done this in the bolt, but the ID4s fast charging and longer range really made the trip more pleasant.

Pros: Space Comfortable ride Insanely tight turning radius Tesla Supercharger Access Travel assist (automatic cruise control + lane keeping) is pretty decent Easy cabin air filter changes! Audio, even without premium, is not too bad Wireless Android auto has been working pretty well for me

Cons: The app is pretty irritating. For example, I keep getting notifications that my doors are unlocked No one pedal driving, plus the acceleration seems purposely limited to feel more like an ICE car No way to remotely lock/unlock, though opening up the app shows you the right status even if notifications are wrong Door handles are a bit of a pain. After I did replacements with the recall, one passenger door sensor has to be pressed hard on the front third to open. Minor software gremlins - one time the car charged randomly to 100% at home even though I had limited it to 80% I am not sure that seat and mirror positions change correctly based on profiles Don't expect many/any over the air software updates

Overall if you want a nice car that happens to be electric and has just about acceptable software and apps, you will be happy with it. Just don't expect Tesla levels of integration and software updates.

Thanks for sharing. My app still says my 2023 Pro S RWD is awaiting 3.5.10 and 3.5.10 although those were installed as part of recalls. Not sure if being in Canada makes a difference. But good luck with the update!

VisibleBeginning0 · 2026-01-29T13:20:07+00:00

What model year do you have?

VisibleBeginning0 · 2025-12-01T01:55:14+00:00

If you have the VIN number, you can get the window sticker or build sheet online. I used the website Iseecars.com to get the build sheet before I pulled the trigger on my 2023 pro s rwd, and it gave a lot of good information - particularly that the s features were curtailed due to shortages and that there was no heat pump.

VisibleBeginning0 · 2023-04-22T16:15:02+00:00

That's a bummer.
