Golf gti mk8.5 - steering heating set to turn on automatically when outside temperature is cold is not turning on at all even though display is saying it is on. Sat nav not booting up on start up - saying starting and shows blanked out map with twirling disc. Sat nav position also out by 100-200m. Switching car on vague outline of display rev and speedo and infotainment screen showing only background colours and tiles - car would not start. This cleared after 20 seconds. Anyone experienced these glitches? Anyone had these fixed with major software update ps4? Understand needs to be in dealer for 2 days to do this....any advice appreciated, thx

Yep I've had quite a few. Pretty sure mine are all software related too!

I've also had sporadic disappearance of numbers on speedo briefly and then they return. Don't get me started on the heated seats and steering wheel auto function. Ive turned it off now as it didn't come on in baltic temperatures, but the seat came on the other day when ambient temperature was well over 10 degrees :grin:
Have had few glitches with infotainment system where it lags and have to do a hard reset. Its all a little frustrating really!
Anyways I've now booked mine in at my local VW dealer, but got to wait until end of April before they can give me an appointment with courtesy car! This apparently is due to all courtesy cars being booked out due to a large recall of their ID electric vehicles.
