I found this video most illuminating...
I am seriously impressed with the driving lights.
Man the Matrix light is amazing. wish my Model 3 has that stuff.
Well done VW. :)
Thanks for showing that stuff.
@@oijhhytdirhrbru oh okay. Didn't know that. Thanks for that info.
Do you know why they not allow them?
@@oijhhytdirhrbru Europe and USA have a long tradition of not approving the same lights on cars. :)
I really do like your video’s. Those range check ones, but also this one, just focussing on al the illumination thing. Brilliant! Also your enthousiansm about the active headlight, just superb! Thanks for this, greets from the north of netherlands.
I have led matrix light in my Passat GTE. I’m still impressed every time.
Should be mandatory. I'm fed up with drivers with their LEDs on high beam coming at you.
These type of lights have existed for years, but it is good to see it trickle down to smaller and cheaper cars. Have driven many cars with it from BMW (X5, 5-series etc), and it’s amazing. Love how the high beams can split and never blind the drivers coming towards you, and in front of you, by moving the lights around the other cars.
The part at 10:20 with the red car is really impressive, high beam without blinding driver few meters away... wow
This is how every light demo should be, I love it!
The Maxtrix lights are one of maybe three features that really pushed me towards choosing the car! So, so useful! Practical hands on useful stuff. Love it! Thank you for showing me for the first time HOW great it is. A couple of weeks now and I can try it myself. :-)
Impressive! Nice to see the Matrix lights in action.
Your excitement is just so great!!! Love our Videos!
Looks so cool, I'm looking forward to get mine! Thanks for the nice videos :)
Matrix Licht ist wirklich ein must have feature. Super Videobericht, man kann sich richtig mit dir übers neue Auto freuen.
I concur! Just drove my Id.3 plus home, and I could drive with high beam without blinding meeting cars. Just once it failed in ca 30 minutes drive. Really impressed!
Loving the cornering and high beam auto adjust. Very clever.
Thank you so much, was wonder how the light was on ID3 :) You just make me more in love with the ID3 car,
The Matrix LED headlights are great - I can testify as I have them in my Passat GTE and they do all that the ID3 does. In rural Scotland its a great asset. I'm a bit surprised that the ID3 does not have "sweeping" indicators though. I'm test driving an ID3 in Aberdeen tomorrow.
My 2023 ID3 has sweeping indicators. It is an option in the settings between classic and dynamic. Not sure about the first edition ID3.
I bought an e-Up a few months ago. Now I wonder if I should have ordered an ID3 for 26000 instead of 15000€.
Good lights are a big safety plus and one downside of modern Tesla’s. Glad I will have Matrix LED in the ID.3 Tour version. Thank you for the video 👍
Well said, VW is now finally years ahead of Tesla in the little one preference. But it will not suffice to convince the adult clients to fork out an enormous amount of money for an under powered, under performing, very short range marvel, absolutely a dozen years behind a cutting edge technological Tesla one could buy for just a few thousands $ more, and step up in reality to a vastly superior car under every single significant aspect. Like Audi and Porsche the VW group needs to do a lot more work to be able to compete with Tesla in the general content department of the EV world.
I don't understand, what is wrong with the lights of the Model 3?
@@Tjenok They have the vicious habit to disappear so fast in the distance that leave other drivers bewildered. Anyway the Tesla Silicon Valley best minds are working on the problem, and as soon as available they will share the technology with VW so they will be able to enter the XXII second century too.
@@sat7755 i seriously think the best EVs are made by the VW group already and it's called Taycan (for just a bit more money than the model s or model 3 performance).
Regarding the ID3:
So you get a car way cheaper than the model 3, that has the performance of an golf GTI, better range than a tesla, service centers everywhere, heads up display, better driving assist, better lights, smaller car yet more space inside, better build quality and much more..
@@sat7755 You sound like you've been brainwashed by the cult of Tesla.
NOBODY reviews the ID.3 like you do, you are treasure!
That is a big compliment. Thank you.
Best headlights I’ve seen!
Though the rear fog light is a tiny afterthought. Also, the rear indicators are bright but almost disappear when the brake lights come on.
Fantastic video!!!!
Brilliant.
Great video - first time I have seen this in action!
Why has it taken 50 years to have this wonderful technology such a great feature. It's a must have option.
Do you have good onboard camera vision with processor 50 years ago?
@@romx87 camera vision of course. but CCD sensors we just invented, processor would have been discrete design and large and too power hungry. movable reflectors would have been possible. would have been a great project at that time.
Tom Quimby why 50 years?
romx87 given CPU integrated circuits weren’t commercially available until the early 1970s, we likely know the answer ;)
VW has had this since at least 2014.
Schöner Kontrastumfang der Kamera 😊👍. Das Matrixlicht ist wirklich cool.
Amazing Light Show thanks a lot. It's seems like a Supernova when you use the high beam. I probably think the light in e Golf of my wife where cool but the matrix lights are unbelivable.
Your friendly competition Teslabjoern had to go over the top and install a 12000 lumen lightbar to blind everyone. 🙈😱
Already saw the new headlight video. Dang it's just very bright, too bright tbh even for rural area. It's okay if it has matrix system like this but with standard non matrix system, nein. It's intended for offroad use anyway
Is that standard on the 1st edition or only the plus or maybe only an option?
Hi, I drive an ID.3 first edition plus as well. Recently my left headlamp has been filling with condensation, have you seen this happen before, I haven't seen it before in the two years I've had the car.
Great car. I wish it was coming to the US. Question...what is that single rear red light that turned on at 5:51 in the video on the lower left of the bumper?
Rear fog light.
My e-Golf has the same headlight sytem too, they're awesome! Driving our other car after getting used to these is horrendous!
Nope, VW told me eGolf has something different. But I tried it. It is also as amazing. Just different technology.
Battery Life which is better? The lights on the Id3 or the E Golf?
@@alinmustata E-golf have adaptive lights. id3 have led matrix. I think the egolf lights is a bit slower, but it does the same. Block the lights for the car you are following and oncoming traffic.
Good to see on camera the matrix
Amazing matrix iq lights matrix on my two Volkswagen tiguans.
( Volkswagen tiguan 5 seats, life plus 2021, and Volkswagen tiguan allspace premium elegance 2.0 tsi 7 seats 2022)
I love the normal led lights in my skoda octavia, If I had the money,I would change to a car with matrix led 🙈👍 maybe for a id3👍
I really liked the LED headlights on our 2015 eGolf SEL - they had the auto leveling, and their pattern was essentially *perfect*. The Matrix LED takes it to another level!
The rear light way down low on the right - didn't come on.
Neil, I don't think it is supposed to turn on in the low right. Some times the rear fog light is only placed in the left side. At least here in Europe.
@@jesperhald3969 Okay - here in the US there is no such thing as rear fog lights.
This would explain the switches on the left side of the dash - the Front and Rear fog lights. We only have front fog lights, as an option.
Neil Blanchard, ah, okay. It has been mandatory on all vehicles in Europe for decades to have rear fog lights, but not in the front for some reason.
@@jesperhald3969 Probably due to headlights being advanced enough, front fog lights is not needed. But rear is still mandatory because well you can't put headlights in the back lol
@@jesperhald3969 This would also explain the rear fog lights on our Smart EQ. The front is optional, and ours doesn't have them - but it has the rear ones. Though they are in the taillights.
This is so good
Wo hat der ID.3 eigentlich die OBD2 Schnittstelle? Was kann man per App auslesen/programmieren?
Keine Ahnung
@@BatteryLife Würde mich auch interessieren, steht da etwas im Handbuch?
Love your UA-cam channel ! Do you know if Its possible to change the shape of the brake lights on the ID3 ....so no cross but a simple horizontal stripe ? In the settings I mean.
Yes, if you turn off animation. I think.
@@BatteryLife thanks was not sure and could not find it 👍
Somewhere in Vehicle under lights.
Not bad. The adjusting of the lights did BMW back in the days already in 2009. :D
One another plus point of this headlight is that it is actually helpful for drivers in front of you as high beam coming from unmasked side helps illuminate the surroundings around them, while not getting blinded from behind
Great Video, can anyone help me as VW can't answer the question, i'm planning a trip from UK to Spain via France but i'm unable to find out if the matrix LED's on the ID3 automatically change from LHD to RHD and vice versa. If anyone knows you help would be appreciated?
Not automatically. There is a setting in Vehicle/light.
Whao! , I was as impressed like you when I test drive the car att night, I'm so glad i upgrade for the matrix. Its also nice to stand behind and look at the rear lights turning down when locking the car.
Thanks for the great video! It would be really interesting to see how the automatic high beams look from the perspective of the oncoming traffic. An idea for a follow-up video, perhaps?
I am alone. Can't do it.
@@BatteryLife Yes I would like to see that too, shame I am in the UK I would happily drive towards you in your ID3 with a camera to show how it looks from another drivers perspective. Feel free to pay for my airfare and accommodation LOL
I think i saw You had an iPhone, is it possible to use Apple Car Key with the car?
Are the matrix led's lights shown here on all the models?
No, option
many thanks! darauf hab ich lange gewartet auf den test, vielen dank!
Love your registration plates! PAID (No loan to finance this car!!!)
Hi Chris. Any news on a new date for the 1000 km? I want to try to be available to watch the whole thing on love stream. Thanks
Oh, that should be live stream, but hey!
Dont go on saturday you will not get many watching Björn going then :D
This Sunday! I asked Björn to do it together, he didn't reply. He is busy. Sunday is way better for traffic for me anyways. And I will have a time to beat.
I have to say, I was amazed with this video! Man what incredible lights! 😍😍🤩🤩
Brilliant reviews! Thanks for all your hard work
With my experience with an id3 behind the auto lights need a bit more blacking for bikers as it reflects badly in the side mirrors , it seems to blank half the space of a car so should be increased to car width , in the end I had to slow down and let him overtake, but does give a cracking view assist
Love the ambient lighting feature. Nice touch. Wow. The regular and high beam lighting system is amazing.
Is it right that you have 2 kind of light signatures which you can change in the settings?
Not that I know off. You can change the indicator from normal to animated.
As a Model 3 owner i have to confess: I am impressed !
With the lights..... ;-)
As an Id.3 owner I am inpressed of every Tesla!
Does it have ambient light at the rear doors?
Nope
Eine Frage: in den Scheinwerfern sitzen auf der Innenseite (zur Fahrzeugmitte hin) LEDs. Ich dachte erst, die wären für den Blinker, aber der ist ja im Tagfahrlicht integriert. Kannst du mir sagen, wofür diese LEDs sind, Abbiegelicht?
Ich weiß es nicht. Es ist schwer das zu sehen wenn man selbst fährt.
@@BatteryLife Lass es mich wissen, falls du es doch noch herausfindest! :) PS: hab ein Abo dagelassen, du bist für mich offiziell die Infoquelle Nr.1 in Sachen ID.3 😀
does the plus edition has the only one with door handle lights ?
No
@@BatteryLife ah okay
Nice lights! Would be nice to see the VW logo iluminated at the front too...
They wanted to do thaz. But regulations forbid it.
Why are the temperature controls not illuminated? Can you see the controls properly just using the light from the main screen?
I don't change it too often. I haven't noticed a problem yet.
@@BatteryLife If I drive in the night-time I often need to warm it up as the outside temperature decreases but thanks for the reply!
You can use voice control too. It works! Say Hello Id, I am cold.
Hey, can you adjust your Backlights so that you have an dynamic indicator?
Yes
@@BatteryLife nice, thanks!
I love the white interior and think about ordering it! Are you happy with it too? Or would you choose the black now?
White is amazing!
Чарівно! Нарешті дожилися до такого автоматичного освітлення! wahnsinn!
That was one of my wanted features of the ID.3, so I also ordered the 1st Plus. I will not get younger. VW give me a new delivery date...PLEASE. 15.09. is over.
Love the Lights! BUT I am worried! When you come to the UK in your ID will the intelligent lights know that we drive on the left?
Yes, there is a setting to change right hand to left hand drive.
@@BatteryLife thank you. Impressive that they have thought of that. Keep up the good work.
@@BatteryLife That is another great advantage to these Matrix lights - no more sticking on lenses when changing countries! It would be really good if that setting was automatically changed through the SatNav realising that the country has changed from LHD to RHD and vice versa.
0:47 I't illuminated glove box
07:19 Awesome Matrix LED. Something Tesla owners can only dream off.
Already available in Audi since 2013. Even the first generation is still way ahead of most headlights today
@doogieAfro AI ? What A.I. ? Its just neural processing ,its not really A.I. and everybody has it at this point.
I have a 12 year old BMW X5 which has this auto high beam . Is anything different in ID.3?
This one will mask low beam only as wide as car's area. So you can have high beam all night not blinding driver inside cars in front or incoming
Good and fun demo of the lights!
Lights have improved at Volkswagen over the years. My first car was a 1961 Beetle with a 6V system, it felt like the light rolled under the car while driving. When you switched between low beam and high beam with the foot operated switch the light went out for like a second 🌚...
Ha ha - I remember as a boy 10 year old driving an old Opel Rekord on a field... So fun. 6v - yeah, If I forgot the light, I could hardly start the car 😅
Does the light function like this on all models?
Not on First base.
@@BatteryLife Ok, I´ll hope i get mine i a couple of weeks :)
Did you confuse the sound of the mirrors moving with the matrix lights? It seemed that you did from the edit, but maybe not in reality.
No, it is a different sound. You can hear it very clearly.
Battery Life Thank you.
What was the small light at the bottom left that came on?
I think it is an extra cornering light.
@@BatteryLife Ah, yes like the fog lights at the front come on when you corner.
Fog lights
@@BatteryLife Yep. My 2013 Golf has them.
I think it does Not work. I have an old Fiat Panda...and even during day time I get blended..I blink and blink..say to my Missy they must have have something "Auto" going - but I am getting blended even during day. Turn off the High Beams..so the question is how does it Look like from the outside meeting you in a corner in 70km/h...will I see something or use Da Force as I have to even now,
Depends on the car. How many Id3 have been behind you ;)
Warum sind die Heckleuchten nicht mit dynamischer Blinkleuchte? Auch das begrüßen und verabschieden der Heckleuchten beim ein und ausschalten fehlt mir hier???
Hab ich alles ausgeschaltet. Mag ich nicht.
@@BatteryLife ist es einfach in den Fahrzeugeinstellungen im Infotainment abschaltbar oder hast du das rauscodiert? Vielleicht kannst du das nochmal zeigen, was man dahingehend alles einstellen kann?
Really impressive! Thanks for sharing! Can't wait to get mine....
I saw in the demo car that you can change the rear light animation and also floating blinkers! It also does a welcome animation with the rear lights. Can you pls show us that in a new video??
I turned all those off. Too flashy ;)
Battery Life yes i understand. But i wanted to see 😜🙏😂
that grinding you heard were your sideview mirrors deploying.
Nope. That sounds differently.
Looks really great. Pity I’ll have the standard leds. Although they’ll be better than standard halogen light on the golf
Normal LEDs will be great and we still get light assist to auto dim them, which is something I need 😁
Yes, I think so. The LEDs on our 2015 eGolf SEL were the best headlights I have ever used. They had auto leveling (up and down) which worked when you had more weight in the back, and also up and down hills. The cutoff at the top of the low beam was perfect. You almost never needed the high beams.
Marcus EV Journey I had light assist for the last 5 years on golfs, it works great on country roads but not so much on motorways. Lorry drivers will be flashing you A LOT
Can you review the lane keeping?
It is exactly that. Standard. Just a safety function. Travel assist in the max would be something to report of.
the sound seem to be the side mirrors powering back into position
The matrix movement can't be heard on the video. They make a weird sound.
I would change the symbol light in the mirror with some power LED to real light up the area in front of the doors.
Nice lights, great video! Can you turn parking lights on on one side?
No idea, I have to try.
Tried it. The back lights do the parking thing. Front lights don't.
@@BatteryLife awesome, good to know! A little known feature, but occasionally very useful 👍
Great video (thanks a lot) showing things in detail. Me like that :) LED front lights have the disadvantage though, not producing much heat at the glass, where ice can form in the winter. BR, Per
What warranty does the car have? What about the batteries and the drivetrain? 8 years?
8 years 160.000km battery. Drivetrain no idea. Normal warranty 2 years. Rust 10 years, i think.
Battery Life the normal one is so little at 2 years, tesla model 3 has 4 years, e niro has 7 years, at least 3 years is the standard
Letztes Wochenende hatte ich ein Auto vor mir, dass in der Dämmerung kein Licht an hatte (es war wirklich schon sehr dunkel und Licht wäre mehr als angemessen gewesen). Der hat die automatische Lichtsteuerung überfordert. Immer wieder bekam er das Fernlicht ab, bis mein Wagen die Reflektoren seines Wagens bemerkt hatte und ihn vorübergehend wieder ausgeblendet hat.
Ja, unglaublich wie viele sich auf das Autofahrlicht verlassen. Vorallem im Nebel. Und viele wissen auch nicht, daß beim Tagfahrlicht hinten kein Licht an ist.
@@BatteryLife Daher habe ich bei meinen letzten beiden Wagen (davor hatte ich noch kein Tagfahrlicht) über die OBD eingestellt, dass auch bei Tagfahrlicht die Rückleuchten aktiv sind (ist der Skandinavien-Modus).
Hat sich schon allein für die Matrix LED Scheinwerfer gelohnt den 1st Max zu bestellen. Sehr gutes Video, man sieht super wie das System arbeitet.
Matrix lights are amazing 👍👍👍
Sadly IONIQ does not have matrix
One of the big reasons why we are thinking about Id3 instead of 4000€ cheaper Ioniq 2020.
Matrix lights are really good but keep the high beam off in towns, city’s or areas with a lot of undulating land work best
It turns the high beams of in cities automatically.
Battery Life a slight improvement then over the Touareg iq version I drove then early last year
I have to count the word cool in that video 😉
245 times ;)
Front fog lights?
It does it automatically. I think. There is some bad weather light automatic stuff.
Chris du coole Socke! Sehr beeindruckend das Ambientlight und auch das dynamische Kurvenlicht. Nur an Kreuzungen braucht es einen kleinen Moment bis es den Verkehr erfasst hat. Thumbs up!
Love your number plate: PAID - you have paid for your car :-) so it is not the banks car, like mine.
That poor Leaf you are testing next is just going to feel so antiquated.
The next car is the Mini Cooper SE in a week.
6630 subscribers is a great progress ... and with that the 16 friends of Nero and the thumbs down came along.
My 2015 Mercedes E class had this even then all those years ago.
Hello, just one question : how much your version ? Final cost ? Thanks for yours vidéos !!!
I lease 3 years 22500km a year. 457€ month, First 3 month free due First Mover.
Its really technik these matrix led units ,i am glad that i ordered same car as you Chris ,dont have a delivery date yet 🇱🇺🚗🇱🇺
Hopefully soon.
Battery Life can you make a review from the navigation system including finding poi ladesaulen if you make a long route
Nope, too early. The car is deep need for a software update.
4:20 Isn't that "horrible sound" the door mirrors moving out?
The sound of the matrix movement can't be heard on the video.
@@BatteryLife Ah!
Would love to see you on a call with Bjørn Nyland while both driving! He would be jealous about your ID3 😉 Both of you are masters at being authentic and being ever-curious. Cheers from California!
Wow:)
Yup, those matrix headlights seem to work great!
