For the Volkswagen ID.4 and ID.5 (ID.4, ID.4 GTX, ID.5, ID.5 GTX; chassis E2, E21, E39; model years 2021-) our catalogue lists 45 features in 10 categories. Below you see per category what we can switch on or retrofit.
Each feature shows how certain we are: “likely possible” means several independent sources confirm it; “checked at diagnosis” means it differs from car to car. Final compatibility is always confirmed at the diagnosis of your car.
Seven Tuning works in Rotterdam and Waddinxveen: the workshop is in Waddinxveen and serves Rotterdam and the surrounding area. Remote coding works anywhere in the Netherlands and abroad, when the job allows it.
