The fix for the traffic hazard warning is to login as the primary user and make sure your privacy settings aren't set too high... It doesn't need any software change...

Mine went in for the broken mirror cap to be inspected and approved for replacement. I asked if there was a software fix for the traffic hazard warning. They apparently did one, and now it won’t stay connected to weconnect. Boots me out every time. Doesn’t recognise my email and password. When I finally get home it will just suddenly connect. Very frustrating
That sounds as if the car is only connecting via WiFi and not via E-SIM and is picking up your home network when you get there.  Check your settings.  I imagine that when it's been in, they've hooked it up via WiFi.

So the climate sync issue still not fixed despite VW claiming it is and they tested it, but I’ve also noticed the Lane assist does the same thing. Never remembers and have to turn off each time? Is that the same for everyone? M

Lane assist is reenabled every time you start the car.

By law.

Me too, I wasn’t expecting it to have that software after all the discussions. 🤔

No I expected that.... any car built after the day mine was built will have D variant hardware, 1788 software and the map in the dash.
