I have just observed the first OTA update on my vehicle. Saw a message saying "minor updates and bug fixes" screen on start up. After driving for 5m and after stopping it said update complete. No change to status screen.
Message too fast to really take note. I do believe this was my first on air update!!

I noticed there is a new App version today - see if you see anything different there?

No difference to the 0792 version number, no noticeable new functions apparently, here’s the info that comes up on screen:

Digital manual: Small improvements, error prevention
ORURN: Minor improvements, errors fixed

The new app version 1.16.0 on iOS was released yesterday:

Push notifications if problems with charging or remote AC
Personalised vehicle image on the car screen
Bug fixes and improved performance <<< they always say that

I believe that ORU stands for Online Remote Update (VW's descriptor for OTA). It is unclear what the RN stands for, though there has been debate on a German forum (mein.id) that it stands for Release Notes.

Woke up this morning, received the ORURN update, speculation on German site is, this is needed for the OTA updates to instal! Good to know my car is capable of receiving updates this way and seems to be set up and working.

"Personalised vehicle image on the car screen"

How do you set that ? I've looked but can't seem to find it

Press the car icon at the bottom of the app screen, and instead of a generic white car with the 20" wheels you should see a representation of your car - this is "my" 1st Edition in the app:

Strange doesn't seem to have changed on mine. How do you check if it had the OTA update installed as I was in a rush that morning and didn't select to install ?

I don't think anything on the car influences that image in the app, the app release notes refer to the "selected configuration" which I translate into "what you ordered".

Regarding the OTA update, there are no visual clues or information that it's been installed - my car was at the workshop earlier this week so the technician may have been "offered" it and chosen to install it, I've not been "offered" it by the car since I got it back yesterday.

Yes for me, I did mention in my previous post it was 1.16.0 on iOS that had added this.

I always do a "pull down" on the app update screen on my iPhone, there are always more available for mine than what it shows by default.

An OTA update to allow OTA updates? That's the most German thing I've ever heard.
