Mk8 software version poll

[M6TT F]

Same problem, unable to log in as the primary user. Doesn’t recognise my username and pass. Very irritating. Screen went completely black last week, and today the button on the left disappeared so I couldn’t change anything.

Somewhere here i wrote down how to get logged in as primary user.

It's a really important thing to get working but a bit of a git to get done.

Latest error message after steering wheel replacement...

[fredgroves]

That's yet another piece of software that needs upgrading i think.

Is anyone with the 1788 software installed in their Mk 8 experiencing problems with error messages?

I have had the software in my car upgraded from 1664 to 1668 but it hasn't made much difference. I am still getting error messages for the Rear Traffic Alert, Forward Assist and Park Distance Control, amongst other systems. I think I have also had every other software system upgrade there is installed too.

It's bloody annoying because apart from the software glitches, it's a very nice car.

So you have version 1668, which for a B variant hardware is as far as you can go at the moment and also the same version I have on mine (I have no problems).

The errors that you speak of tend to be related to the steering wheel problem - have they swapped that out for you?

No, I am afraid that they haven't replaced my steering wheel, Fred.

I did mention to the Service Manager that I had heard that some Mk8's had had their steering wheels replaced and he was aware of this. But, he claimed that this remedy was to cure other types of issues, according to the VW Technical Bulletins he had seen.

And this is the problem with this whole sorry chapter - VW not having a comprehensive remediation plan for these cars.

Something really weird has gone on here and it has to be down to a massive supply chain problem.

Have you got:

1) the build week for you car (its on the other sticker beneath the tyre pressure data plate)

2) an OBDeleven software version dump of every controller

If you have those two, maybe I can guess what might be wrong

And today’s error message
