Mk8 software version poll

[Carlosfandango]

My CS has been on 1896 and is now on 1899, but I have never had the option to put maps on the dash display, even if I had something else in the centre display.

You have to tick the option on the sat nav screen, and then scroll through the dash displays to find the one with maps.

I went to the navigation screen today and couldn't see anything in settings to tick to display on the dashboard.  Could you take a screenshot or give me more detail please?

Thanks

On the map screen you need to press the circle with the three lines in it, if however the car (via coding) is already capable of having the map on both screens at once this option does not appear.

Thanks for that - found it and it works.

Not sure I'll ever use it as I tend to use Waze via Android Auto rather than the VW Nav, but it's always good to have options and it does look a bit special.

Got mine working too. Thanks

Hello all, long time lurker here.

I have read and kept up to date from the very beginning of the this poll/forum and not found any reference to what was said to me by the VW dealership work shop where my car currently resides, since last Wednesday.

It went in for a service and a couple of recalls, one of them being the software update.
What I should say is that the car (GTD) is running the 1664 software and yes I have experienced the SOS errors/faults and bongs that a lot of the members on this forum have experienced.
Rightly or wrongly I chose to put up with all of this until VW released a stable software fix, hence waiting until now to book it in to the workshop.

The workshop phoned me last Wednesday to say they were having trouble installing the software, over the following days they tried numerous times with no success. They escalated the issue to VW UK and then eventually onto VW Germany.

The workshop phoned today to say the reason why the software was not installing was because of the rear camera and the the way it was installed. They said they could install the software with the camera disconnected and left disconnected. I did point out that the camera was installed by the same VW dealership, be it located in another county.

Has anybody else heard of the rear camera being the reason why the software cannot be updated?

Apologies for the long explanation, just wanted to give context

For the last few weeks my car no longer wants the S PIN code when I start up. It allowed me to change it but still the prompt to enter it doesn’t appear. The sat nav also can’t tell day from night on auto and I have to set it within the menu. Anyone else have this?

Now you’ve said it, I’ve not been asked my S Pin in ages either!

[Dave1rs]

Only ever put the s pin in once

Can someone remind me how to stop the recurring messages on my dash about my dataplan having expired, please?  I am sure that I've seen it somewhere on this thread but I just can't seem to find it.

I did pay a subscription for the Cubic Telecom dataplan for a while but I later decided that it wasn't necessary because I use my phone wifi connection mostly. The recurring reminder messages are beginning to infuriate me.

I tried several things and nothing worked. Eventually I gave in and just purchased the data plan… which I neither needed nor used. But it was worth it just to get rid of that notification. I think it’s the only way to “fix” it.

I got my local vw dealer to pay for another year’s subscription, it’s their fault.
