Mk8 software version poll

Pleased to hear December looks like a possibility... I'll save my next visit with problems for a little longer.

Today's cold morning gave me more bongs than a teenagers house party. Had to do my entire outward journey with no sound, no even a reboot of the infotainment system brought it back... Only a shutdown when I parked fixed it.

Bloody thing!

this is pretty much what mine does Fred    My car is supposed to go  back in on Wednesday but now the update might be just around the corner I might cancel. I did a hard reset about a week ago and to be fair not playing up quite as much

Same here on the faults this morning. The main one for me is the keyless seems to have packed in. I can lock it on both handles no problem but could only open on the passenger side, however, on my return to the car after work, neither side works for unlocking now! I’m hoping this has fixed itself come the morning, if not, might be asking for advice or a trip to VW for this and the BIG update!

I can never lock it with the keyless three seashells thing. Well maybe once it worked.

My keyless was hit and miss when I first got it. When it went in for the SOS recall I asked them to look at it. Apparently the changed somehting (though don't know what) and it has been faultless since (Reaches to touch wood!!!) Even the proximity sensor works and unlocks the car

From the post above is this suggesting that 16XX will be updated to 1810 or have I misread that?

[fredgroves]

Yes a 18xx update to unify the software streams.

Well it’s booked in tomorrow at my local VW garage, so let’s hope they can fix it. Asked about the all singing all dancing update too. To my shock, the guy had no idea what I was talking about!

Yeah I think to get it done you will need to quote the TPI at them - but at the moment the final TPI doesn't exist.

Hold fire!

Good shout. Mine isn’t that buggy so will leave it for the time being until the new update is out.

Question about this new update. I can currently get maps on my dash, is this update likely to change that?

[fredgroves]

I don't think it will change that.

Even if it does, a little OBD11 will fix it - I activated that on mine!

Will be interesting if it activates for someone who hadn't tinkered with it.
