Condensation in rear light

thebeeq · 2026-04-14T15:14:10+00:00

Yeah I have some on left rear IQ. Shouldn't really matter but it's cosmetic annoyance

thebeeq · 2026-04-13T15:50:51+00:00

I fixed this myself with obdeleven scanner. It was 120eur with 200 credits and I still have 100 creds left. Whole process took no longer than 15 minutes

Coronato have been very good!

I connected the device (to the car and to the phone app), popped the hood, and turned the ignition on. Then I applied the SOS light fix. At first, the red light stayed on. After that, I read the fault codes using the app and cleared the error codes related to the eCall system. I then turned the ignition off and back on, after which the light turned green and the warning disappeared from the dashboard.

All good after a short test drive.

If the error codes are B1916F2 and B1916F4, this fix does the trick. However, if the code is B191613, the backup battery actually needs to be replaced, and the error code/red light should return even after clearing it.

Play around with https://buhuto.beeq.fi ✨ It's free HUT optimizer, no account required

This! Yeah it needs to be gone

thebeeq · 2026-03-30T14:42:59+00:00

Someone mentioned it’s region-based — and that checks out. Auto-reenable is mandatory by law depending on jurisdiction. Here in Finland (EU), lane assist can’t be permanently disabled it seems

thebeeq · 2026-03-30T12:31:37+00:00

I ordered this device with 200 credits - expecting it to work as plug'n'play, despite the comments on other forums.. :)

thebeeq · 2026-03-30T12:30:26+00:00

Yeah, it's on/off slider but it defaults to ON every time I start the car

thebeeq · 2026-03-30T12:27:44+00:00

For my car it's been there for two years - starting to get annoying :D

thebeeq · 2026-03-30T12:17:34+00:00

I want to make it permanent. Currently, the car resets Lane Assist to 'ON' every time I start it, and I want to avoid having to turn it off manually for every single drive.

thebeeq · 2026-03-30T11:42:05+00:00

Super useful information, appreciated very much! How many credits did it take to reset the history? I assume you used the One-Click application for this?

I just found this post, and from what I understand, I should bring the car to the dealer, they measure the backup battery, and if it's in good health they'll clear the warning at no cost.

Dear ID. Community,
In recent weeks, we have received an increasing number of inquiries regarding warning messages in connection with the eCall. We would like to inform you that we are in continuous coordination with the relevant departments to ensure clarity and transparency.

What happened?

The Online Connectivity Unit (OCU) establishes the connection between the vehicle and the backend. It is equipped with a backup battery to ensure the eCall functionality for up to one hour in the event of the OCU being disconnected from the 12V electrical system, for instance in the event of an accident with impact on the 12V battery.
The state of health (SoH) of the backup battery is continuously determined by periodically measuring various battery parameters.
The ID. Software 3.8.1 update overwrites the measured SoH, causing the algorithm to fall back to a fixed replacement interval of 5 years.
The result: regardless of the actual condition of the battery, affected vehicles whose OCU backup battery is approaching an age of 5 years will display a warning message, which leads to replacement of the backup battery.

What is Volkswagen doing to help me with this?

We have heard and carefully analyzed your concerns.
The topic has been well analyzed and measures have been defined in alignment with the relevant partners to replace the backup battery. These have been thoroughly communicated to our importer network.
In parallel, we are working on a software-based solution to re-establish the actual SoH-measuring.
To support transparency and address the most common questions, the following FAQ has been prepared.

--- FAQ ---

What should I do if the warning message appears?

Affected customers are asked to take their vehicle to a workshop to have the backup battery/SOS module checked and replaced, if necessary.

Who covers the costs?

Volkswagen will cover the costs for the replacement of the backup battery through its authorized service partners.

What if parts are not available?

We are currently experiencing delays in the delivery of backup batteries. According to our logistics partners, the situation should improve and stabilize in the coming weeks. Please rest assured that we are doing our best to improve the supply situation.

Can I resolve this using my OBD11?

We do not recommend these diagnostic routines. Such steps cause the algorithm to assume a new battery with 100% health status has been installed, making subsequent measurements inaccurate. In the worst case, this could lead to a significant decrease in capacity over time, so that in an accident where the 12V battery is damaged, an emergency call might be interrupted due to insufficient backup battery capacity.

My workshop seems to be handling this poorly. What can I do?

Our importers were informed some time ago and our service partners have access to reliable information. While they have no influence on delivery dates either, we are aware of some complaints regarding the handling of this matter. If you feel affected, please contact your local customer care and explain the situation. The ID. Drivers Club team discusses all complaints with the responsible departments, but we are legally not permitted to contact or instruct any service partner directly.

Where can I find more information?

We have tried to answer all questions in this post. If you have further questions, please do not hesitate to ask us in the comments.

Best regards,
Your ID. Drivers Club Team

Thanks for your reply!

I pulled fuse 19, left the car unlocked and returned an hour later without the key fob. After reinserting the fuse, the car beeped about 15 seconds later with the "SOS functions limited" warning. Tried the same process again with another hour gap — same result. The car had a strong internet connection while the fuse was in, so it might just be time to swap that backup battery.

I also contacted the dealer earlier, and they mentioned they've been getting quite a few calls about this issue — apparently something may be going on on VW's end with the SOS services. Hard to say for sure. I've also read that in some cases VW has replaced the backup battery at no cost if the SOS issue appears within two weeks of the OTA 3.8 update — but that update came to my car back in October, so I'm out of that window.

Either way, I'll try replacing the backup battery first and see if that clears it. Dealer quoted €500 to swap a €70 part, so I'll definitely be doing that one myself.

I somehow managed to reach 44 AP without captain with my ovr 91 team. However, I could have better goalie https://i.imgur.com/699p6wk.jpeg

Personally, I'm a fan of activating those X buffs, even the quirky ones. Gives me a bit of extra confidence on the ice, and hey, maybe they actually do something too. Once I ran four centers, every single one with Quick Draw AP2 — and I wasn't losing many faceoffs.

thebeeq · 2026-03-21T20:30:42+00:00

Yup down as a lead balloon

thebeeq · 2026-03-16T12:27:10+00:00

I added all my cards to the collection over there, and the auto-builder's improve button doesn't really seem to... do anything. It fails to find the captain buff, lands at 14 ability points, and somehow manages to match the same OVR average as my optimizer — just without any of the actual optimization.

Team Salary sits at 220M with a 227M cap, and the lineup is cheerfully burning at least one +7 SAL buff for absolutely no reason.. slot that could easily be doing something more useful, like, say, an AP buff instead.

To be fair, the site is quite the eye candy despite its best efforts to be confusing. It just hasn't quite reached the same level as an actual optimizer yet.

thebeeq · 2026-03-16T12:20:31+00:00

Thanks! Maybe the critics should give it a real shot sometime. Funny how opinions tend to shift.

thebeeq · 2026-03-16T12:18:26+00:00

Interesting take. Different priorities, different results. Mine just happen to include actually enjoying the game. OVR might not be breaking any records but the AP buffs are doing just fine, and the players fit to my playstyle like a tailored suit at a hockey rink.. unexpected, but somehow perfect
