    2.0.15 - The MOAU - Mother Of All Updates

    I thought I read the instructions before installing .15 but I don't recall it mentioning keeping the fob with the car. Where is that documented, under Learn More? Perhaps I should have learned more first?

    I'll check if it's associated with using the AC.

    Any Minnesota-based owners (or owners to be)?

    #17 associated with using the climate control? I notice a high pitch sound when it's turned on, goes away when turned off. I haven't reported it yet. I went with a 3 year ceramic coating here in Rochester. Cost $1300 and included all painted surfaces, the windshield, two front windows and...

    Intermittent wiper issues?

    Yes. Just drove in the rain for the first time today. Quite poor rain detection on the auto modes, especially when the car is not moving.

    Drive system fault

    My rear drive unit failed approximately 10 minutes after starting preconditioning as well! The preconditioning was not part of the explanation I got from the service team (who got it from the engineering team). I was wondering if the RDU was an innocent bystander or the root cause. Can this...

    Metronome

    I find that it provides some feedback in my driving style and I am not annoyed by it.

    My car is on a transport heading for delivery to my home tonight. My Service Advisor (Jared) at Goose Island has been top notch - provided proactive communications and took care of arranging a rental outside of the normal Hertz contract.

    FWIW, this drive unit failure in the ID.4 sounds eerily familiar. When my RDU was replaced, the tech mentioned it had to be flashed for my VIN at the service center. It's interesting that VW chose to do that at the factory and not at a dealer.

    I requested and received a detailed engineering level description of my RDU failure. This was one of the questions I asked. I learned that the root cause of the failure was an internal manufacturing variance (defect?) in the bi-directional inverter on the RDU. This means that DC energy flows...

    Sigh. This domain is controlled by a company in Romania and the 'author' is in Brazil. Not sure it would be worth the effort to try to enforce US copyright law in this case.

    Nice signature - looks familiar. I guess I should have copyrighted my copyright statement ;)

    I've asked for and received a detailed technical briefing of my repair. The root cause of the RDU failure was an internal failure within the inverter which has been attributed to a manufacturing variance (i.e., something was out of spec). The RDU is being shipped back to the factory for a post...

    Standard Dream Drive doesn’t have lane centering?

    I'm pretty sure previous versions had the lane nanny function that provides some steering resistance when approaching the edge of the lane. What does lane centering provide? Hands free?
