The ID.3 (2020-onwards) uses VW’s minimalist MEB platform interior with a floating touchscreen and a small driver’s display mounted on the steering column that moves with the wheel. That leaves a genuinely open lower centre-stack area with plenty of room for adhesive mounts, unusual in a modern C-segment car.

What to look for on the listing
- Vent clips must be horizontal-slat-compatible.
- The open lower centre-stack area is a rare adhesive-mount friendly zone in this class.
- Pre-2024 cars have unlit capacitive steering-wheel pads; do not fit a steering-wheel-clip phone accessory that presses against them.
- MY24 facelift added illumination to the steering-wheel pads and revised trim but did not change the dashboard layout.
- Pro Match and above have factory Qi charging.
Frequently asked questions
Do ID.3 and ID.4 phone mounts interchange?
No. The two share the MEB platform but have different dashboards. ID.3 is a hatch-style cabin; ID.4 is an SUV with a different centre stack.
Is the driver’s display on the steering column an issue for mount placement?
Only for mounts that would sit on the column itself. Dashboard-adhesive and vent-clip mounts are unaffected.
