    @osr garage: the way to go back just cruise control is with the “mode” slider on your left hand side. You just slide it and select whether you want the travel assist, or ACC in VW terms, or just dynamic cruise control.

      @@offtheshelfrides correction! The ‘mode’ slider allows you to switch from dynamic to regular cruise control. The driving assistance button is the one that allows you to turn the wheel assistance on and off… at least when the 3.1 operative system has been installed. Hope you get it soon. Thanks for the content you produce.

    When the truck in front has turned right, you can likely press accelerator to help the Assist accelerate faster without disengaging Assist, if it is like similar systems I have used

    Why would you want to turn the lane assit off? I wish it automatically come on whenever the cruise control is turned on.

      @offtheshelfrides  2 роки тому +1

      I don't like the lane centering. I like to drive. I only turn it on if I need to get something, stretch, etc.. so I would like to be ae to turn it on when I need it and back off.

    • @dleasman

      Turning off is beneficial when you are going into an area with a lot of exist or forks, because the car sometimes wants to take an exist, and you have to fight the wheel to stay on the primary road. It does the best that it can, and when out on open road, it's nice, but when you enter a metropolitan area, it would be beneficial to be able to turn it off without stopping cruise. At least the cruise is adaptive, as with most new cars with radar. I have 5 cars with lane monitoring, and this is a problem for all of them.

    OSR, big fan of yours, but I’m fine with the way the lane assist works. I don’t expect the car to drive for me, just nudge me if I get distracted and wander. It does that well.

    • @offtheshelfrides
      @offtheshelfrides  2 роки тому

      It's not the lane keep assist feature that bothers me, unless I am taking an off ramp and don't use the turn signal and it fights me, it's about not being able to shut off the Lane centering without shutting it all off and the cruise control and people behind thinking your braking

    I believe it is controlled by the center screen in settings. If you can't find it check the manual or dealer. That car has a whole lot of stuff going on. I just looked at one thus weekend.

    • @offtheshelfrides
      @offtheshelfrides  2 роки тому

      It's not. You can turn off the lane keep assist off in the menu, but you can't turn off lane centering after activating it without turning everything off. The new software fixes those issues.

    My TA will sometimes fail to turn on at times emitting an annoying beep. Dealer cant seem to find it. They can't even turn off the annual inspection notification. Pretty useless

    It was pointed out earlier that this issue was resolved with Software Version 3.1. I have a y22 ID.4 with version 3.1 and easily switch from TA to ACC with the left side steering wheel control button. Also, many, if not all, of your complaints with ID.4 software is resolved with version 3.1. Hope you get the new 12v battary and module upgrade to allow OTA updates soon so you can get the latest software. You will then Love the ID.4 as we do!

      Also, hitting the 0/1 button once cancels the ACC but the resume button can be used to reactivate it at the previous speed set, hit it again and it completely deactivates. Not sure if that's the same in the '21 with the 2.x software

    Re: The comment about a vehicle in front turning. My 2018 Nissan Leaf would come to a near stop, and then disconnect the ACC in this situation. Also, when card ahead went int center refuge lanes, it would think they were stopped ahead, and slow. My 2022 ID.4 is better.
