Software Wishlist

There's a thread for things people want changed. But I feel like it includes too much hardware and I was wanting a thread focused on software that is currently possible. We all know brake hold and plug & charge are coming and bug fixes but there could be more updates to comfort & convenience. My big one that I just experienced after coming home from work is the light near the charger port doesn't always turn on. I had to turn on my garage lights to be able to plug-in. I'd like for it to turn on all the time when the cap is open and maybe turn on again when the car sees you approach again.

That's true. We do have a lengthy current code bug report which also highlights some desired improvements, as well as the 27-page "we'd like to see" thread which does tend to be more hardware in nature, but no dedicated software wish list. Have at it. ;)

For me it would be a top menu capability to turn on/off steering wheel heating. I know the other methods but my wife and other potential drivers do not, so just make it easier.
You can add steering wheel heating to the quick access screen. I don't think it needs to be any quicker than that.
I think VW needs 10 times more software engineers comparing to what they have right now. Their software development should be 10 times faster.

There was a book years ago called "The Mythical Man-month". Basically throwing a bunch more people at a project sometimes slows things down.

I said this before, you get the feeling that the iD software is being developed by one person, sitting in his basement and typing while he is eating VW branded currywurst and Hefeweizen.
