A Better Routeplanner in the VW ID.3 

Great stuff Marcus. ABRP is very useful indeed and not a bad monthly price. Especially when Tesla owners pay, I think, £9.99 per month to have access to live data on their maps.

The application is really good for planning, however when using ABRP to travel from Calais to Switzerland the app died as we were driving around Bruxelles leaving us with no navigation. We also encountered very odd Audi messages (turn right instead of left), leave Motorway to Motorway (no to A road) etc. The map shows the correct route but you need to keep your eyes on it… It does however provide you with a full set of proposals for en route charging stations and its guesstimates are pretty good.

good video, i have abrp havent used it for months but still pay them $7 Australian dollars a month to support the company.

I’m not sure if people are that concerned about the charge percentage. The late adopters want to know if they can make it to the destination and that’s it. I’m not constantly glazing at my gas rant needle to check how empty it is, but it is nice that it tells me that I can still drive for another some kilometres, so I can check if I have to refuel on the way. In an EV, I only want that the navigation tells me if I can make it to the destination and if not, where I am supposed to charge and how long. The same is on charging speed. Who cares if it’s 49 or 60 kW, if you drive like mad the higher charging power will give you less range per waiting minute than the lower one if you drive less aggressively. But those are only my thoughts.

It would have been useful if you had mentioned how to setup the initial ABRP configuration re the car and preferences.

Hi Marcus, does Waze work in Portugal. I usually use it on IOS it’s pretty good, I don’t have ev yet. I have a Kia self charging.

Thanks for the information, Marcus. Did I get that correctly, the battery percentage is a readout of the OBD dongle and is transmitted to ABRP via EV Notify on an Android phone? 🤔

Hi! What ODBII dongle is that? Many of them does not seem to be compatible with EVs

Have you tried using TRONITY instead of evnotify and an odb dongle? Less hassle and cheaper if it works.

Which OBD adapter you using?

Marcus, what brand/type of OBD2 dongle do you use?

Could you read the OBD2 on the iPhone at the same time? So you don’t have two phones?

It doesn’t know the actual charge the car actually has right? It’s estimated.

5:42 Yes, but do you actually get Android Auto in a Q4 etron without paying 1000+ EUR? 🤔

Have a look at Skoda Enyaq: 1000€ more for just a navigation and a 13 inch instead of a 10 inch screen It is useless - we will not get that cause for 600€ I will get a Samsung TAB 7S Pro+ and I will have 13 inch screen too with a square map on the left and no the right the EV Notify App both in one display. But might be worth to check how the basic infotainment system supports andriod auto and its apps

A car of more than 40.000 euros should have all this shit standard !!!

Direct answer NO . It doesn’t integrate with Apple Watch, yet it claims to do so for subscribers . Sat Nav routing is slow, clunky and voice directions are too late , insufficient, robotic. Unsubscribed after 3 trips.

naw ,, i wouldnt pay for it
