So, it’s all working again! Locks and unlocks on the handle! After a bit of advice. Do I keep my appointment tomorrow or do I leave it and wait for the fix all update in a few weeks?

Leave it, wait for the TPI

[Boothy1979]

I think I agree. Will wait. Cheers.

Does anyone know if there has been any software updates do remotely by VW. I am having issues with Travel assist and Emergency SOS and the dealer said there was an update being done. There has been no errors on my car for the last 5 days.

Emergency sos is a recall,the software updates that fix anything are not done remotely....they are all done by the dealer.

Sos reboots are fixed with a replacement of the module. A recall TPI is out for that.

Travel assist... If you mean the thing where it suddenly decides the speed limit on the motorway is forty... No... Nothing for that.

The rumour is that its map data that causes it... And that's not vw

About the 1810 update for 16xx infotainment units. It was released on friday morning and then removed because of an issue (dont know the reason). But one guy from Germany got his car updated and ran a few tests.. So now Android auto wireless is working and now he can view the VW map on the Aid display. Also the reverse camera seems more reactive.
We will have to wait for the updated TPI before we can get the update done at VW workshop.
According to the TPI VW are moving to a Software package update where before one control unit would be updated at a time whereas now multiple control units can get updated in one go making the process a lot faster and easier.

Not to mention that they can align the controllers with a known compatible version... so the system as a whole should work.

This is great news but when is it likely to happen..? Sorry for asking a dumb question but what is TPI please..?

The 'big' update package is apparently due imminently, according to some reputable sources, but until it is definitely released, who knows.

TPI is a list of specific repair and warranty instructions for dealers to follow - they basically set out a technical issue, the symptoms, how to resolve or to hold off a customer complaint, and (importantly for a dealer), how to account & charge VW back for the time/labour/parts, etc

For example,
