So the software changes and hardware changes mentioned that's coming in the next 18 months are these for our cars that are on the road and facing these problems or does he mean for new cars being released?

In regards to ‘cars that are on the road’, - Software (likely) Yes! Hardware No!

I don't see what the fuss is about re:  volume and heater buttons not lighting up.  I use the control on the steering wheel for volume and rarely change the temperature for the climate control as it is set for the same temperature year-round.

The software however.........my Sept 2021 CS is way better than my May 2021 GTI but still needs a new steering wheel for Emergency and Travel Assist "bongs"...typically only once on startup.

Fortunately for VW the car's dynamics outweigh the infotainment.....choosing NOT to buy a car based on infotainment as many have said on the web is just silly.

Agreed. As a designer, it’s unfathomable how the cabin controls weren’t user tested before sign off
