What is included in the ID. software 3.1?

Plug & Charge

The "Plug & Charge" function now makes charging even easier: If activated, your ID. can authenticate itself at public charging stations and start the charging process automatically once the charging cable is plugged into the car without the need to scan a charging card.
To use the function at a compatible charging station, you need a charging plan, such as We Charge Go or We Charge Plus from Volkswagen Group Charging GmbH (Elli), which supports "Plug & Charge". After charging is completed, billing is automatically carried out based on the stored charging rate plan. Active "Plug & Charge" via the Volkswagen App and in the charging settings of your vehicle.

Take personalised settings with you

For vehicles that were delivered with the ID. Software 3.0, personal settings, e.g. regarding seat position and temperature, are stored in the Volkswagen ID user account and activated when logging into the vehicle. When a user changes, the settings are automatically adopted. These settings are now also available in vehicles with ID. Software 3.1 when you log in to them. The scope of personalisation depends on various optional extras.
