Wrex Posted June 20, 2021 Report Share Posted June 20, 2021 I thought it be interesting to see what software and hardware versions other R owners have, as some are having niggles and others don’t. I find mine quite laggy. I’ve seen the latest: nav is 21.5 and display unit/control panel is H47 so mine is old already lol Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Either way mine has had a nav database update OTA since I first got the car. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A unknown I guess with it being an import into Israel. Have you thought about contacting VW to find out what may or may not be available to you?

aldfort Posted June 21, 2021 Report Share Posted June 21, 2021 VW are pretty explicit that some things vary by territory. That said the software updates are things that the dealer can do for you. The hardware is the hardware that cannot be changed by a software update. Few people are skilled enough to swap out any hardware for more up to date versions becasue of all of the coding issues.

Have you thought about contacting VW to find out what may or may not be available to you? I did speak to the brand manager here.He’s a terrific guy but said he couldn’t give me any information regarding car models that are not sold in Israel.However, I do have a friendly dealer-approved shop, that is on franchise from the importer. So if it is possible technically, I should be able to get it.One thing is for sure - it won’t be easy :-) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mk8r Posted June 21, 2021 Report Share Posted June 21, 2021 Here's mine. It got delivered with the 1803 version of the software (on May 27th) and I received a OTA update a few days later so that was probably the navigation database.

AHG Posted June 21, 2021 Report Share Posted June 21, 2021 Looks like you both have the same HW, while Darlo’s SW is slightly older. Is your car actually older as well ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
