The Born (MEB platform, shared with VW ID.3/ID.4/Cupra Tavascan) has documented 12V auxiliary battery drain plus MIB3 infotainment glitches: screen freezes, system reboots while driving, slow voice response, intermittent CarPlay/Android Auto, rear-camera dropout, ambient lighting glitches. VW Group rolled multiple software releases (2.4 → 3.0 → 3.1 → 3.2) addressing different subsets. Software 4.0 is NOT coming to current MEB cars — only future ICAS3 vehicles (ID.7, ID.2, next-gen ID.3) will receive it.

This issue also affects: Audi Q8 e-tron, SEAT Mii

Common Symptoms

  • screen freezes
  • reboots
  • dead 12V
  • CarPlay drops

How to Fix

Ensure latest software (dealer check; some via OTA on newer cars). Hard-reset infotainment by holding power button 10+ seconds. 12V replacement covered under warranty for many VINs — request inspection.

Typical repair cost:$0 - $400

Born (and twin VW ID.3) has reported HV battery thermal-management oddities: aggressive throttling of DC fast-charging in cold OR hot weather conditions, sometimes preventing peak charge rates well below rated thresholds. Multiple software releases (3.x → 4.x) have improved behavior but the heat-pump option fares better than resistive heat.

This issue also affects: Audi Q8 e-tron, SEAT Mii

Common Symptoms

  • slow DC fast charging
  • battery temperature warnings
  • reduced charge rate

How to Fix

Update software to 4.x (some via OTA, some dealer-only). Pre-condition battery before fast-charging using nav route planning. Confirm whether your VIN was built with heat-pump option (better thermal range).

Typical repair cost:$0 - $200
