When I had the same problems Shakav, my dealer said I needed a new steering wheel and not a s/w upgrade.

They changed the wheel under warranty and it has been problem free for 6 months now.  My s/w is still 1899 and hasn't changed for 12 months or so.

Have you asked for a new steering wheel?

My car was a UK import, steering wheel was changed in 2022 prior to me owning car. Mine is 1788 so I'm almost sure I need an update. Waiting to hear from dealer I purchased from this week...

1941 installed by dealer here in Ireland yesterday to fix reboot issues 🤞


Sorry to bump an old thread but where did you get the update done? I have a GTD MK8 with emergency&travel assist bongs issue. Cant seem to get VW Ennis, Limerick or Galway to update my software from 1788. Thanks

Got it done in Joe Duffy, Navan. It fixed the infotainment reboot issue I had.... Although I've had a handful of reboots since, it's well improved. I had steering wheel replaced, that fixed the emergency and travel assist bongs.... I have heard of the early replacement wheels needing to be replaced again, so I would sit on a dealer until they sort it out, especially if it's still within the 3 year warrant.

Side note... I had my SOS module replaced too.

Mine was a UK import only gone on Irish plates a month ago. Bought from a non VW garage here, have a warranty but only for gearbox & engine. Wonder how much a steering replacement will cost ffs  :embarrassed:
