Right so after a day in VW, I have gone from 1666 to 1668. The car was sent in for a variety of issues (car play disconnections, hit and miss keyless entry, random crashes, profile log outs, driver warning errors etc etc).
Its too early to say whether 1668 fixes any of them, strangely enough the car started OTA software updates when i set off from the garage that still havent completed so no idea what thats doing (could just be those user manual updates), suspect it wont take it any further than 1668...
But, without asking they are replacing the steering wheel next week which they say is linked to the driver warning errors.
I asked why the sat nav doesnt show on the driver display and they flat out claim its not a feature of the Mark 8, despite what people are saying on here. Seems to tally with Fred saying 1788 is linked to the infotainment system part number. I showed them the image off here with someone with 1788 so they asked me to email that over and they would investigate further.
To help with this could somebody with 1788 and sat nav on their driver display able to send me a photo of their software version and just a shot of it on the display? I have managed to find the latter on youtube videos, but they are of German LHD cars, so they will spot the German mapping and KM/H. If someone could help me source a UK spec car showing the same that would be very helpful please.
