After denying the update last Monday I still don't have the small one. 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.

The above video mentions an 'Opt-in'email. Is that a first movers only thing or do all owners get the opt in option? 7 mins or so

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

I am just curios as I have not had to my nowledge any update OTA and a while back I had issues with the app and had to reset everything which at the time appeared to return my previous car to my account. I was wondering if I will need to be swept up in the re-trigger.

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?

I had a message about the software upgrade pop up while I was driving (without internet connection) instead of when I switched the car on at home (connected). This probably counts as a safety hazard. It's hard to understand the reasoning behind it.

Yes it was a First Movers only thing, not all 1st Edition owners never mind owners of other specs.

The weekly poll applies to the 2.3 update, which is not generally available, but it seems the tiny update that went out generally last week doesn’t have the same schedule from the number of owner reports through Monday and Tuesday last week (and few since)

Hi
I think I’ve seen somewhere that the first part of the update is a small one and is done when the car is switched on or driving.
The second main update is when the car needs to be off and takes 4 hours.
So it may have been the first one you saw.
I’m sure others have more technical knowledge than me on this though

The 2.3 update is not yet generally available, beyond a small group of volunteers who have “opted in” to receive it.

My vehicle did a short update this afternoon. Only took a few minutes; telling me to leave the vehicle for at least 5 minutes before using it.
Did see any changes following a "successful update". I'll see what happens with the 2.3 update tomorrow, or next Monday!!
VW should have issued a statement telling folk what to expect for sure.
see pics.

I got the 2nd part today also, however Part 1 wich I downloaded last week gave me a lot more symbols showing on the road sign recognition system, such as warnings for school children, road works etc. they have now disappeared and the software version was 3.3.0 is downgraded to 3.1.0. wtf?

Thanks for making my point, VW have made it far from clear what is happening. Where does it say that the ‘tiny’ update is generally available and that the 2.3 is not? I would have expected given my experience with BMW that I would have been contacted via text or e-mail. They have my details.

Having previously owned a BMW, which I was happy to get rid of, I had the opposite problem of being bombarded with information as a Connected Drive customer. Perhaps VW could learn something from their fellow compatriots on communication? To be honest though, I get the feeling that most people are just making assumptions or guessing on how this is being rolled out.

Just to add, I had the install come through today and drove to work with an excellent 4G signal, but the Update button remained unusable over the hour long journey. Parked the car up at work and nothing since. It certainly hasn’t updated with the ‘tiny’ install.

Not on any public VW website, to prove your point.

The 2.3 update is still only available for volunteers, which VW called for from their First Movers group.

The installation of the 2 parts of 2.3 will increment the software version to 0910, the couple of updates that have appeared in the last week (on a completely mixed population of cars) have not done that.
