Mk8 software version poll

Hmmm I know the door open and close works for the phone not connecting to Bluetooth... Didn't know about it fixing other things.

Good call!

Actually this doesn't seem to reset some of the gremlins :-/

New gremlins this week.... front assist/dynamic lighting decided it wasn't going to play.... then decided to come back. No obvious reason, but it was cold when i left. Worked after about 5 mins into my journey.

Another day, audio decided it was only going to come out of the central speaker. Weird. Didn't come good until after I got back in the car at the supermarket.

And still we wait for the magic fix....

Oh come on Fred, aren't you being a tad unfair on VW? After all, the Mk 8 has only been out about 2 years!

Anyone know if it’s possible to sync the data from the WeConnect app to the actual cars sat nav?

I’ve saved a load of favourite locations using the app as it was much easier but these don’t show up when I use the car sat nav.

Thanks

No it's not possible to do that or in fact load any poi to the car at all.

Previously I mentioned that when the infotainment has a mid air meltdown that the directions on the hud dissappear... Well now having the map on the aid I have seen that too has a melt down after that sort of crash. You get the map but the route information isn't overlaid.

I'm guessing it's a disconnect between dash and infotainment unit caused by the crash.

No it's not possible to do that or in fact load any poi to the car at all.

Is this a retrograde step on the newer cars then Fred, as in my current MK7.5 GTI, I can create POI destinations in the We Connect app, then send them to the car (I currently have 24 sent over from a possible 200) ?

I know they sneakily removed the ability to load POI's (e.g. Speed Cameras) en mass from from being sent across when they updated the app earlier this year and some functionality was lost, but I can still send individual destinations ?

[fredgroves]

No I don't think so....

I've got a few favourites saved in the car, they don't appear in the app.

The Mk8 mib unit is quite different to the Mk7.5's MIB2.

I haven't tried to save POI's in the app or in the car but I have tried to send destinations from the App to the car and that definitely does work. Guess you can do it that way? Send the "destination" to the car and then save that in the car as a POI.

Sounds as if there will be some news fairly soon for those on 16xx software versions for a software update - well respected source is quoting here about it being imminent, with the TPI (repair instructions) for dealers being updated/published soon across VW, SEAT & Skoda models that use MQB-Evo platform cars.
