ID.4 charge cord release tips

My ID.4 was setup to automatically unlock the charging cable when a charging is complete. This means you are able to press the unlock button on the cable to disconnect. If the automatic unlock is set to No, then the cable cannot be disconnected by pressing the button without taking an action to unlock.

There are options available in the Infotainment system and on the VW ID.4 app to change this behavior. In the infotainment system the automatic release may be changed between Yes and No (find this in the Charging section by clicking the Settings "gear"):

This setting may also be changed in the ID.4 application under the Battery option:

My experience is changing the cable release with the app results in the Infotainment cable release option being removed:

If the automatic unlock is Off, then there are two ways to remove the cable:

1. Click the Unlock button on the FOB
2. Use the emergency cable release in the trunk

So, I recommend to use the Infotainment to change the automatic unlock if desired.
