Mk8 software version poll

Yes that's a B... So only 1668.

I posted up a table of hardware vs software earlier in this thread, maybe page 20?

Had mine in for few bits a few weeks ago and went from 1666 to 1668 but one thing I have noticed With the climate is press sync and it says sync but next time you get in the car the words have gone. Well if that’s the case try the passenger side to control the temps and they all change together even tho the sync has gone, it’s like they are still set up for LHD.

That would not surprise me.... good observation though.

Was there any general improvement with the 1668 generally apart from that fault? Got mine booked in in a couple of weeks

It sorted my internet radio problem out, Navigation seems better with postcode and it now remembers my radio favourites without having to keep adding a new one to see my old ones. Bluetooth is okay for while and then some days it’s keep saying disconnected but then connects straight away again. Voice control with the button is still hit and miss but I find if you press it and the say hay Vw it works perfect, love the car though

I've had a decent run out today... Suffered from a sudden total system reboot on the motorway, which was nice. Sat nav, audio, phone, travel assist... Kaboom and about several minutes for it to restart.

That and yet more random drops to 44mph in a seventy mph dual carriage way. That's not sign misreading.

Hopefully later this month its trip to the garage might fix some of this.

Something else to watch out for, on a motorway with a variable speed limit... It spots the advertised speed signs on the overhead gantry but only brakes as you go under it....watch out for speeding tickets from that!

Afternoon all, I am collecting a GTI CS next week, a brand new but stock car after all of the good stuff in this forum but without managing to read all 22 pages I think from the table I should have the D software (build is either late 20 or early '21 according to the saleman).

I'm coming from a 7.5 which has been faultless and getting myself worked up about it, in general has the D software been better/ less buggy or is it the same as the B but can show the map on the Virtual cockpit?

TIA

I think the later cars built after bw48 2020 are much better....

The software still has bugs, but nothing like as bad as before

So collected my car yesterday as previous I had queried build week with the dealer and told December or January.

When I checked my software its B hardware and 1666 software. My heart sank the car is amazing, climate doesn't sync but (touch wood) everything else seems to be working fine. I decoded the door sticker and its a week 47 build day 6 (so bloody close to a week 48!) 

I was surprised that a stock car collected in June would be a November build! Keeping everything crossed its remains ok I can just about cope with Sync provided it behaves!

I don't think any of the dealer stock was other than the initial batch they purchased end of 2020 actually...

They bought a load and didn't sell them partly because of covid, partly because of the bad rap the Mk8 was getting...
