    “Sorry, something went wrong , please try again later “ shows every time I try to log in

  61. We have tried to create a profile several times and the app errors. The dealer has also tried several times and he cannot either.

    This is becoming a nightmare resetting features every time I get in the car.

    This requires sorting now.
    Thank you.

  62. My ID.4 cannot connect to We Connect even though Internet connection seems to be ok. I get a message in menu telling to try again later, but now I have tried for more day. Restarting system or removing/reinserting fuse F19 doesn’t solve problem.
    Any suggestion to solve problem will be appreciated :o)

    Car starts heating every morning even if its turned off. We turn it off again, but next morning the same happends. This is probably linked to departure time and this is impossible to permanently turn of.
    This problem came without me turning anything on.

  81. The app says technical problem and I cannot see charge levels or use any of the functions. refreshing the app does nothing. Has been like this for a week

  82. Pop up “technical issue occurred” happening now for about three weeks in the WeConnectID app.
    After cancelling the pop up box, info in background seems accurate. Annoying because it makes me nervous the charge times may not be happening overnight as expected. I just want it to work without problems…

    • Same. All he info is accurate. At some point the app made me log in again.
      It also never gives an error code or specifies the kind of technical issue. Has been going on for weeks.
