Just been out to have a look, no evidence of an update so I guess it will come up again at some point. No way of checking for updates like a phone eh

Have you tried using your phone as a hotspot? Internet radio works that way.

Sorry. I didn’t mean use the phone to update. The e sim does that. I simply meant to use as a data carrier for internet radio.

Hi,

My understanding is that the OTA updates will only come over the car's 4G connection. Home Wifi, phone hotspots etc. will not work.

Cheers, Peter.

I've got a suspicion that knowing VWs sick sense of humour, it asks for the update every week the same day. I wouldn't be surprised to turn my car on this coming Monday and it asks me to update.

If it is all owners have non 1st owners been getting the email?

Not quite sure what has happened with the update, if it was going to be the same day. Denied last Monday as needed to drive to work and then again when returning home denied again. Now today with the car having been parked in exactly the same place and adequate signal absolutely nothing. Is there any chance of VW communicating clearly and effectively how they plan to roll this out, or are they making it up as they go along? There doesn’t appear to be a great deal of transparency in this process, I appreciate it is new technology and they are undoubtedly learning themselves, but would it harm them or take a great deal of effort to communicate to their customers what is happening? Or am I expecting too much?
