As title says, has anyone on 1941 installed this yet? Any idea what the change log/info is?
Nervous to install as 1941 and a new steering wheel seem to be error free at the moment but that little red [1] is calling my name every time i drive the car lol

I don’t have a mk8 Golf and my car’s too old for OTA updates. However as an aside, I thought it was interesting that my car insurance policy with LV contains the following exclusion;

‘Loss or damage caused by failure to install and/or accept OTA updates recommended by your car's manufacturer.’

Presumably it would be quite easy for an insurance company to check if an OTA update hadn’t been installed and wrangle their way out of paying a claim if the loss or damage was a considered to be a consequence of the update not being installed (e.g. if it was something affecting safety or security of the car)…… :whistle:

@SRFTD interesting, there's always a loop hole somewhere - might have to in that case, just nice being bong free at the moment :smug:

Don't think the ota minor ones ever have much effect.

Suspect the main things they change are vw legal wording buried in some menu somewhere...
