Go on then I've voted. I've just been not trying to tempt fate, even after nearly two years of ownership.

Would you be able to tell me if I need to get a software update. Looks like 1941 is the latest. Don't know if all the systems are the same ie, Gti, R, CS.?

You don't need to have a software update... and yes all of the systems are the same, even in non-performance golfs.

But 1941 is the latest for sure.

Your navigation database probably needs updating, although I don't know if your dealership will do that FOC or whether you can do this yourself. Does anyone know the answer?

Your Database is version 22.6 and mine is 23.10. I think one of the other screenshots on here (I think it was Fred Groves' car) is showing Version 23.9, so yours is a much older version.

I see that the new VW App offers a free Satnav map download. See attachment.

I don't know how easy it is to perform because I haven't tried it yet and I'm not sure I need to install anything just yet.

I don't see the point of an update via the VW app.  Presumably it means downloading maps to a memory stick and uploading to the car. Ie the old fashioned way.  I'll wait for an OTA update.

H58, no more bongs since a OTA update. Had an appointment at my dealer about the bongs a few days after the update and they told me that they weren't allowed to replace the steering wheel. I guess (hope) the update fixed the bongs for good!

New steering wheel, and 1941 update a couple of weeks ago. Fingers crossed, no bongs
