Very cool of you, I was debating the $149 price tag, but at $30 I just paid before I could think of a reason not to.

Quick question: is there a way to use an audio player (e.g., Audacious, RhythmBox, VLC) to stream the music without using a web browser? The animated light curves in the background make the browser use 100% of a whole CPU core, which isn't ideal, especially when using a laptop on battery.

Eeeek we getting fixing this asap. Until then iOS app is best bet.

vw id 4 china software update new
how about approximating those sine-wave curves with bezier curves?

ps: I'm getting my salary on Nov. 11th so could you extend your offer until then?

Plug of my own. I'm a maintainer on an OSX toolbar plugin called BeardedSpice. Simple mapping of play/pause/etc/ keys to website audio players.

I was really happy to see we already had a controller strategy for brain.fm. You guys are making great stuff.

Hey, I'm really digging the Focus music. I was wondering to what headphones are you guys tuning it. It sounds awesome on my studio monitors, but it sounds like crap on my ATH-M50 cans due to the bass going over its limit unless I keep it to a rather low volume.

I use Bose Q25s. The noise cancellation + constant noise of brain.fm are perfect for putting me in a bubble

Hey you coming out w/ an android app any time soon? Would love to try the relax while I sleep. Just bought the pro deal.

vw id 4 china software update new
Yup! 80% done, sprinting to release it.

vw id 4 china software update new
Whenever I hear a programmer say "80% done" I think of the contractor's version: "two weeks", from the old '80s movie Money Pit:

The joke at my old work was 'basically done'. Meaning they spent a weekend equivalent on a prototype. Management heard 'done' the rest of us heard 'not production ready'.

vw id 4 china software update new
Here is, 'done, just needs testing'.

vw id 4 china software update new
Great, that means you only have 80% left to do!

vw id 4 china software update new
well generally I think however long the first 80% takes, the last 20% will take 1-2 times that.. but cool that they're working on an android version, I'm patient and can wait. Loving brain.fm it actually works to keep me focused.

vw id 4 china software update new
So it's a paid service, but it won't tell me the price (or the limits on free accounts) until I give it my email... No thanks.

vw id 4 china software update new
That's a great offer! I'm chiming in to say that it made it a no-brainer for me as well and I signed up. I'm also interested in an Android app. :)

vw id 4 china software update new
Just checked out your site and it is great. The sound is superb and it really helps focusing. Also, your offer is super generous.

However, you only accept credit card payments. I would never give my credit card info to a random site just to read a month from now that they've been hacked.

Is there a reason you are not accepting PayPal or BitCoins? It seems that you are not using one of those big payment processors either.

vw id 4 china software update new
According to the FAQs they use Stripe.

vw id 4 china software update new
My fault. Indeed they submit to stripe. Sorry for the mistake.

vw id 4 china software update new
The form was pointing to their own website.

vw id 4 china software update new
That coupon code shows a negative price for the lower level memberships, not sure if that means you will be paying us for it :)

vw id 4 china software update new
that would be a revolutionary business model

it's a tiny bug, fixing now!

vw id 4 china software update new
I just tried it for an hour or so and it does seem great. Bummed on the lack of an Android app though... would've helped me immediately.

Anyway, I read your comments that it is nearly 80% done so I'll give it a shot and signup. The mobile version on Chrome browser works decently well so I think I'll manage with that till then.

vw id 4 china software update new
Very cool of you guys offering such a big discount. Tried to sign-up, saw the banner (about the discount), chose lifetime subscription (even without trying) but my card still was charged $149.99. ;( Is there a way to fix this? I mean it totally maybe worth it, yet I wasn't ready to spend that much.

vw id 4 china software update new
Oh, I just got refunded. Thanks!

vw id 4 china software update new
Impulse purchased this last night without really knowing what it was but boy was i impressed! Incredible really what you've done here and the developement team here loved it to! Well Played chaps!

vw id 4 china software update new
I just spent 50 bucks for a yearly subscription to one of your competitors a week ago. My biggest complaint about them is that I can't get a list of tracks that I've really enjoyed and there's no upvote, play more like this feature. I don't care about social "likes" but some songs in an otherwise great playlist are just really grating and throw me right out of the focus window. It would be nice to say "don't play this again"

For current and prospective Volkswagen ID.4 owners in China, this software update marks a significant improvement in the ownership experience. It signals that Volkswagen is not only aware of the fierce competition from domestic Chinese EV brands but is actively moving to close the technology gap. By combining German engineering with Chinese software expertise, VW aims to secure its foothold in the world’s largest electric vehicle market.

If your car is still on the original 2.x software (common for 2021 models), the OTA might not work due to low storage space on the older infotainment hardware. Volkswagen dealerships across China are currently offering a vw id 4 china software update new

Older ID.4 models (pre-2024) are generally limited to the Version 3.x architecture due to hardware constraints. Maintenance and incremental improvements for these vehicles are delivered via Over-the-Air (OTA) updates in batches.

Hey everyone! Seeing a lot of questions regarding software updates for the Chinese-built ID.4 models. If you imported an ID.4 CROZZ or ID.4 X , staying updated can be a bit of a maze since they don't natively communicate with Western servers. Here is a quick breakdown of the latest developments:

Despite the major OTA finally arriving, the pace of updates still frustrates some owners. ID.4 CROZZ owners have reported on complaint forums that a promised OTA campaign that began notifying users in November 2024 had still not reached their specific vehicles as late as January 2026, leading to accusations that VW's OTA promises at the time of sale were misleading. : Larger on-screen controls (e

The recent over-the-air (OTA) updates for the Chinese market focus heavily on localizing the digital experience:

This crucial update resolved over 70 legacy bugs. It eliminated the infamous "black screen" phenomenon, enhanced screen resolution, and introduced smooth Apple CarPlay / localized app mapping stability.

As of April 2026, Volkswagen has initiated a massive shift in its software strategy for the Chinese market, moving away from global standard builds toward a highly localized software ecosystem. 🚀 The "Rise Up" Product Offensive (2026)

I'm a little late to the party. I bought the lifetime license from an earlier link that had it at $40.

My question is, is the tremolo/pulsating nature of the chords (sort of sounds like a helicopter) on most of the music a side-effect to the AI generated sounds, or is this by-design? If by-design, are there settings I could tinker with? If not, feature request. :)

I'm starting to find this a bit unnerving after extended periods, but it could be a personal preference.

vw id 4 china software update new
Only some of the tracks have this. It's by design.

Previously I was cleaning cookies / local storage (to have more free sessions). Then I downloaded MP3 and created playlists. At $29 I have no other option but to buy it... HURRAY! . . . . brain.fm is like matrix, I admit!

vw id 4 china software update new
Extremely cool of you to do this. Discovered the service yesterday, tried it, was amazed (hopefully not placebo) and today signed up (lifetime deal).

vw id 4 china software update new
Is it possible to have a similar deal again since from the comments seems there are a lot of developers interesting in your service ? Thanks!

vw id 4 china software update new
When is an Android app coming?

vw id 4 china software update new
Clicked it, tried it, impulse bought. Seems worth it so far :)

vw id 4 china software update new
Assuming theres no Android app?

Any ETA?

vw id 4 china software update new
I think you can still run it in the browser. Not quite the same, I know (the iOS app is nice), but I think it might do for now.

vw id 4 china software update new
Awesome. Subscribed!
