The new ID.3 already comes with outstanding connectivity as standard. One component of this is the Comfort mobile phone interface. This pairs the smartphone with the on-board infotainment system and allows inductive charging if the mobile telephone is suitable for this. The standard App Connect function enables media to be streamed via a smartphone, which can be embedded in its native environment using Android Auto™, Apple CarPlay™ and MirrorLink™.
The infotainment package also includes the navigation function and the We Connect Plus services. These connect the ID.3 to the owner’s smartphone and the traffic infrastructure. The most important features are the navigation services, including the Online Traffic Information, Online Map Update and the Charging Stations service, which provides information about nearby charging stations.
The second component of We Connect Plus comprises the vehicle-related services that run on the We Connect ID. app. ID.3 customers can use the app to remotely control the charging process and the electric stationary air conditioning – and to check the battery’s charge level and the vehicle’s range.
