ID. software updates

Software updates are important for ensuring that your electric car stays up-to-date. Find out more about current software updates and previous versions here.

Why are software updates important?

With the software updates, you receive updates that are also available for your vehicle after purchase. You need a We Connect contract for this. Due to a legal requirement, your one-time consent to the use of data is required so that we can send the data for the ID. software Over-the-Air to your vehicle. Simply log in to myVolkswagen now and give your consent.
