Maps are WAY better.

AC zones are simple but I doubt they'll make much different to most people, they seem to have removed the graphic that let's you remotely control the seated heats (no biggie for me as I've never done that anyway)

They also seem to have broken send destination to vehicle which for me was working fine before the update.

Broken as in you get an error in the app, or that the destination isn't shown in the car? (which can take some indeterminate amount of time)

I just sent a destination from the app with no issues at that end, I'll check the car later.

App sends destination, car not receiving it. I know some people had had issues with that but mine had been working fine till the update.

God only knows why they have removed control of heated seats remotely. I have asked support why, they have come back and asked for a screen shot of the functionality that’s not working, clearly they read the original mail.

I didn’t even notice a heated seat option (not something I use).

This is probably a code merge problem, I am professionally aware of the software problems they have.

Mine worked. Car showed the sent destination when I got in it a few hours later. I’ve never used the feature before.

I'm on Android and can't recall there ever being a control for the heated seats!!!!

It's also not been updated in a while as far as I know.

I'm also on Android and can confirm that the control for heated seats has been there since we bought the car last December, and is still there. Tap on the vehicle icon at the bottom of the screen, then Air Conditioning.

I presume you get this screen

There is nothing in there turning on or off my heated seats? Looking at the info online and also the app, I get the impression there should be some element of control, but the seats do not get activated by this.

That’s what it looks like in 1.16 in 1.17 the screen is different and that view is no longer available. In 1.16 it did work on my iPhone. Guess it’s just the crappy app in general, sending destinations via the app is a lottery, connection to the car also for air conditioning. Basically they just need to sort it out although they tell me there are complex and multiple systems involved. It always surprises me though(because this is not just a VW issue)that someone doesn’t ask the question, when someone much cleverer than me has come up with a fantastic update to an app, have we checked it works.

Or is that just me

The picture shows a lhd model which is the same picture as mine in the uk , my question is if i set the heated seat on the left side will it set the left seat or will it switch it automatically to the drivers seat?

I'm also on Android and have never had the heated seats show. Mine does not even show the correct vehicle colour, wheels etc. As for sending destinations from the app to the car it has been hit and miss. Android is on version 1.14.0

No apologies I have added confusion by bringing Android into the thread when it is clearly about iOS. Perhaps the Android users need to move to a dedicated post.
