Do the later version fix the asshat touch detection?

 

tap....no I didnt swipe down

tap....no I didnt swipe left

tap....no I didnt swipe up

tap....ah, option finally selected....oh I crashed into a tree.....

lol I must admit I have found the touch interface to be very accurate and responsive.  So far (touch wood) I havent had a single 'bug' with any of the systems in my car.

If you hate it, and don’t fancy wrapping your car round a tree, you can disable the gesture control in the menus, which might at least cut out any gesture stuff.  It’s under Settings ( on main screen) then Screen.

Ah, this might be the issue, never actually used gestures anyway!

 

Will try, thanks o font of knowledge. 😀

Actually what you’re talking about is the Proximity sensor and that too can be turned off under Settings - Screen.  Your wishes can come true!

We all now want the same software version as you. 😁

 

 

Not sure I've heard of anyone being updated to your version - 1898 - as yet at the dealers.

My car went in for a first service and two software updates (campaigns) at 8.00am this Tuesday 6th Sept.

 

Just had a call now (1600pm Wednedsay) to say they have still not succeeded with the software updates (two days later)  😒🙄.

 

Anybody else had such a long wait ? .... or know of any possible reasons for any issues ?

 

Good job I got a courtesy car (new Polo) !! 

 

Previous details (this is an R-Line model remember so maybe different to an R) :-

Quick update to the above.  I'm pleased to report that all the software updates were completed by the next day (8th Sep).

 

Reading up on the big 1896 update that was done on my car I've read in a few places that further software updates beyond 1896 will all be done OTA.  Anyone know if this is right ?

 

Someone already has had a taste of 1898 :-

Glad yours was all updated successfully in the end Jonny.

 

IIRC that person’s car came new from the factory (very recently) with the 1898.

 

No idea of what you’ve heard is the case but as people had 1896 update done OTA, it sounds plausible.

Hi Jonny, just looking at that screen, I see the volume and temp sliders are lit up.  Was that OEM or a retrofit?  And what are the icons below the clock, they don’t look familiar to me (my 8R is still on 1890). Regards, mpv
