    The Id is the part of the mind dealing with instinctual desires. Its the selfish "me" part of the mind. Basically doing things without contemplating consequences (unsafe sex, random drunken bar fight, hogging all the cookies, etc.) may be considered examples of being driven by id. But yes It is subconscious, and as poster above said the subconscious incorporates more than id.
