It’s a worthy mod, not very expensive either. Racingline provides detailed instructions, it’s simple and takes 5-10mins, just make sure you adjust the coolant hose as detailed to avoid running (as Joe says).

Heated seats and steering wheel (so effectively a "winter pack") has been standard on the GTI / CS since the MK 8.5 was launched.

I was being a little lazy about not ringing the dealer to check. Checked and rechecked the specifications and it isn't showing but there are so many to list that it could have just been overlooked.. Will have to make the trip over there if it ever stops raining and do a test drive. I seem to have a fear of visiting the dealership for some reason 😂.

Anyone else get one today? Always wary about updating past the current stable build i have....
Something about.

This update is required for the following reasons: Some mobile data providers are gradually switching off their 2G and 3G networks. Volkswagen AG has no influence over this. Accordingly, without the update, there may be restrictions to the mobile online services and Emergency Call Service1. With the new software update, these functions remain fully intact even after the network switchoff. The update can be installed “over-the-air”, i.e. directly in the vehicle.

Exciting news.

There is an "extended" winter pack I believe which gives you heated rear seats. Probably a rare enough option.
