Mk8 software version poll

[wizzywig27]

I just called VW as the 'faulty' speaker that was replaced still crackles/pops - I requested a new SOS module and was told back order from Germany and would take a couple of months?! Anyway my car is due in on Monday to sort out the noise of my front seat and he mentioned that my car has a recall for new software, its been released guys. I am praying it sorts it out!

Yeah there is a new piece of software for SOME cars for the connectivity module - the thing that does the SOS and the data connection. It might fix some of the problems.

I was told that fixes all issues, including the ACC etc

LOL!!!!

No its just the OCU module...

The fictional megafix is coming in Q4.... which year they didn't specify

My sat nav went caput on a long journey today heading down the m6 and joining the m42 it just totally lost it’s bearings and then the arrow started bouncing around the map. Then got the sos warning light and the assisted driving errors.

Stopped at the services for fuel and hoped it might reset but doesn’t even load my settings now just the spinning circle ‘loading settings’ continuously. Infotainment won’t even load up.

Looks like a trip to the dealers next week..

That sounds like the OCU unit crashing/resetting. Same as I had last week.

When you get the yellow SOS warning light it does that and the MIB unit won't start if you reset it.

Strange that I was the one who mentioned Q4 on here and that came from VWFS. VWUK told me the fix was out this week. Coincidence? I’ll let you know Monday.

So after a new speaker AND the OCU software update my car speaker/SOS module still crackles/pops and loses connection - it’s a joke really!

[fredgroves]

Hmmmm thats not good.

The crackle isn't the speaker.... its the OCU unit doing it- sure I told you that before.

That the software upgrade doesn't work isn't good news. What is their suggestion next?

I took my gti in yesterday to have the SOS issue looked at. The service manager at Beadles Chelmsford said they had 3x other mk8s in and 1x ID3 with the same issue! He said there is no known fix and no definite date for a fix to come through.
He did offer me a coffee though then realised the coffee machine was broken. Thanks VW.
