When I last looked I was on 1899. I don’t think I have had any OTA updates. I just checked, no updates showing and still on 1899.

Just received the same message and downloaded and installed the OUG1 update this afternoon.

I am not sure it's made any difference though, my System info is still showing 1899 Software version is installed and, immediately afterwards, the dash flashed up an Error message, saying the Rear Traffic Alert was not available. It seems alright now but, as I say, I am not sure it has made much, if any, difference.  :undecided:

Did you say that there's a Part 2 pending, Fred?

I've just received the update notice as well.
First proper OTA I've had. Quick question. Do you have to sit in the car with ignition on whilst the download and update takes place? Thanks

Hey, I have given up on trying to work these bloody updates out. I’ve just left the car off and walked away from it with a look of disgust and apathy. Sorry I know that doesn’t help.

Click install, turn the car off, lock, and walk away for a while. It installs fine. This update doesn't fix the bongs by the way, or change any software numbers etc.. as it's not for the infotainment unit.

You'll want 1941 for that, which isn't OTA at the moment. No idea when it will be. You can install manually if you're brave, or chance asking your local VW if they've got it available.

Yes. The file is out there, a fair few have successfully installed it. It's been about for 2 weeks or so I believe. I'm waiting for a new usb-c memory stick to arrive so I can install it myself.
