Still no issues to report after updating 1941. I'm happy with it. Only thing to note is the graphic of my blue Clubsport has changed to a silver GTI lol which makes sense, as the software image obviously wasn't made specific to my car..

Except for the performance, and the interior & exterior styling, I don't think there's actually any differences between the GTI and CS is there? Nothing the infotainment unit should have any impact on anyway? Mine's all stock, excl paint.

I have a kings red GTI, and regardless of SW version (currently 1899), the image has always been of a silver GTI 🤷🏼, as a side note, I had my first ever SoS and travel assist not available error yesterday since owning the car, there was no bong however, just the ⚠️ light on the left of the binnacle, and the two related lights at the bottom, the rear view camera also did some weird stuff at the same time, all fine after restart though!.

Oh, that's interesting.. I could've sworn mine had my actual car graphic appear when I logged in, same as the we connect app. Perhaps not later on, in the vehicle settings menu,  i may have imagined that. Lucky you r.e the notifications, they've been far more prominent with most of us!

Sorry to be the bearer of bad news guys.

Unfortunately, some of the bongs are back.

Mines would always bong when reversing and steering wheel was on full lock.

It didn't do it for the first few times after installing 1941, but unfortunately last night it returned with a vengeance.

Although, not every time this time around, so that's an improvement at least.

Oh, and I retract my previous statement about not noticing a difference in boot up speed of the infotainment at start. Deffos loads up quicker since 1941 update. Noticeably quicker.

I'm on the waiting list for a replacement steering wheel, (4 months now), so let's see if a replacement steering wheel and the 1941 update can both work together in harmony  :cry:

Unfortunate. May be a hardware issue as well then. Mine was never THAT regular, and I've got no issues to report yet. At least you are seeing some improvements, so it was worthwhile.

That's what I feared - s/w and h/w incompatibility. I'll get 1941 when it is officially available but my optimism has disappeared.

It's not an incompatibility issue. It's working fine with the hardware. It's just not going to stop the bongs IF there's a preexisting hardware issue.

I was upgraded at VW yesterday to 1896.

I asked about 1941, they looked a bit shocked and didn’t comment at all..

This just about sums up the whole issue - VW don't know what's going on and are proceeding with useless activities, which we all know aren't going to fix the problems.  Buying time while they wait for warranties to expire.
