Mk8 software version poll

[massimo23]

So the TPI 2066316/1 for updating the 16xx software to 1896 is out in the UK and Ireland.
3 other TPI's point to this 2066316/1 as the solution:

2065214/2 - We Connect: message for emergency call system/online services not available/event entry U178500 (MOD3.2)
2063712/5 - Driver assistance systems, rear view camera: picture sometimes too dark/shown with delay
2066464/1 - We Connect: "Become main user" not possible/fails (SW16xx, SW1810) [MOD3.2]

There are other TPI's too but in German for now like Keyless Problems(2060781/4), side-assist or parking sensors not working(2064061/4) and various errors and problems with 16XX (2065241/3).

I’ve also got the "Emergency SOS error Please contact the workshop" message up now and the light next to the button is red. I’ve read on another forum this results in the module being replaced?

Is there a way to disable the SOS feature so the error message goes away and doesn’t come back? I didn’t really care for it anyway and will get it sorted when there’s a definitive fix.

When I got my CS i used to get this regularly The SOS unavailable which then led to "contact workshop" . I had an OCR update in September last year and its gone away. The only thing I get is an occasional sensor unavailability that resets after about 10-15s but doesn't stay on or tell me to contact the workshop like it used to.

Nice of the dealers to contact us and tell us there is a new software update out for our glitchy cars…

Instead we have to call up and beg with a specific list of problems to be even considered for the update.

I’m still getting sos errors, parking sensor errors, reversing cam won’t even work sometimes and even went into limp mode the other day on my 1666.

I have had my GTI software upgraded from 1668 to 1896

Wow!

Thats good news!

I saw Massimo say it was released to the UK but not seen anyone have it done yet.

Is it a noticeable improvement?

[G3neralBanter]

Probably too soon to say for sure but I’d say so. Managed a 5 hour round trip without issue (after the usual logging in, primary user faffing on a fresh install)

Climate sync still doesn’t work, but the rest of it seems better.

Strangely the 4 ‘buttons’ in the centre of the dash now make a clicking sound…

They also took the engine cover off as part of a recall. Awaiting a new one…

It appears that 1890 isn’t completely without fault…..

I  think Eliot Carver has been at my car!! I noticed last night when I pulled up at home that my sat nav thinks I’m about 3 miles south than my true location. I was watching it this morning and it’s the same, it was going away from my destination as I headed south towards work.

Anybody else had this? I suspect since the clock change (which updated automatically btw)?

That seems to be the general consensus on other forums where owners have had the 1890 software update - still a few gremlins lurking in there…………..

It appears that 1890 isn’t completely without fault…..

Which is why there is a 1896 ;-)

The only thing I was hoping would be brought by a software update
