I don’t want to jinx things but I had a small OTA update this morning. I haven’t had any bongs since…

Did it say what the update was? It should have done... and has it changed any version numbers on anything?

Just said “minor improvements” there was another line but I didn’t take note of it, it didn’t stand out. I’m still on 1899 software.

I had that update this evening too. I think it's just one of those minor updates that only takes 20-30 seconds to download/install. No difference in version numbers.
MK8.5 GTI Clubsport. Moonstone grey. Queenstown 19’s. DCC. Harmon Kardon sound. Pano roof.

Mine had the OTA update now...

Yesterday, bong central again.

Its nearly always Emergency Assist (ie SOS) and Travel Assist thats throwing errors.

In pretty much the same places each day.

Both of those depend on the GPS signal, I wonder if thats the cause?

They are really quick to clear, but sometimes bong in quick succession.... my guess is flakey GPS but whether I can see that in the logs... I'll have to look!

Sorry total noob question…can the SOS and travel assist be coded off to reduce these error bongs?

I would doubt it.

I’ll whisper this very quietly in case the car is listening:

I’ve not had a single bong for nearly two weeks now
