I'm sure there is a fix and I realise it's not what you asked but an alternative! .... Get used to not having "HUD/CarPlay" to distract you from your driving?
Just a suggestion. Sometimes the old ways are the best! Quite liberating actually to just eschew all this excess of display information and, you know, 'drive' the car like we did in the old days!
It's what I ended up doing in the Fluence and the Zoe that nagged me into pressing soft-buttons before being allowed to see anything.

User profiles have come in with Software v3.0, presumably this is a new vehicle?
It replaces the old confirmation that you are going online, compliance with GDPR or some such regulation, but looks like you still have to confirm you want to do so even if you’re the only registered user.

If I wanted the old ways I would be driving around in a diesel pickup with manual windows, no power steering etc.... No thank you, I would rather the display popup up this notification and then after 10s display the radio/music station instead of my face.

That was my thought too. But fuck GDPR, already enough of pain on webpages with cookie bullshit. Hopefully, the software engineers/product owners implement a better solution!

Surely the 'truly old ways' are electric car ways? They did come before petrol cars, which came before diesel pickups.
Look, ma, a car with no internet connection!!! ...
... anyway ....whatever.
Pretty sure someone has already made an electric version of that. Just insert one Tesla motor and a battery.

Very popular in its day similar range to a leaf, 100 miles I think.

That wasn't quite a reply I was expecting.Pretty sure someone has already made an electric version of that. Just insert one Tesla motor and a battery.
If they took the engine and gearbox out which are located .... hmmm .... somewhere!!
I love the fact that it doesn't even have a steering wheel, and the driver and 3 passengers sit in it facing each other!
I made this little montage of it so you can see, from Jay's video;
Yeah only afterwards I realized the oxymoron. Somehow had forgot the true first EVs. But nevertheless pretty sure someone at least had the perverse thought about fitting a Tesla motor since people seem to put them practically in any older vehicle these days if even theoretically possible.
I'd believe with this vehicle one would have to be truly creative to pull something like that off however. And it would be a deathwish to even think about driving it.
PS. sorry to sidestep the thread...
I get the same in the Cupra Born, have to confirm the user each time even though we only have one. As yet to work out why you'd really want multiple user profiles.
It's a 3.0 thing as Tooks said as the ID3 we had didn't have this.
