Completed the second stage of OTA installation yesterday. Responsiveness of the infotainment system does seem to be improved somewhat. Seems a bit crisper. Didn’t have any faults etc prior so can’t comment on that aspect.

Earlier this afternoon I pulled up next to a clubby at some traffic lights. I looked over to give a thumbs up to the clubby driver, he saw me and frantically motioned for me to wind my window down. I said “Hi” and he said “ what software are you running?” Then, “Do you know know to stop my SOS fault?” O the joys of GTI ownership…poor bugger.

Just picked up my car after it’s first service and work to deal with the engine cover and a pile of software bugs.  Just need to re-setup everything.

I’m now on 1898 and the Climate sync issue is fixed!!!


This was the list I reported to them and apparently all now fixed.  The ACC issue was a known one too.

  • I have been getting an SOS fault coming up.  Latest status is to take to a workshop.
    I have been getting random failures of the assist systems coming up (e.g. parking sensors stop working)
    The air-con never stays in Sync mode and needs to be changed on every trip.
    I am having trouble pairing a second phone with the car.  It rarely connects to my wife's phone (iPhone 11)
    When using the phone via bluetooth (i.e. not carplay) it sometimes fails to transmit outgoing audio - so the driver can hear the other person, but receiver cannot hear the driver.
    When driving with ACC pulling out to overtake it sometimes continues to brake down to 40mph, which while on the motorway is dangerous.  I have had to override the slowing and accelerate manually to avoid an accident.

Interesting that the climate sync issue is fixed. I'm on the same version and that's the one thing that is still not working. Everything else appears to be working properly.

After a lot of faffing around I managed to get set up as primary user again, but by going through the shop signin instead of the user setup.

Can’t see anything much in the shop though
