just received an email from VW asking for consent to upgrade.
This was noted as the updated functionality:
Advanced main-beam control and driver assist systems
Vehicles equipped with advanced main-beam control now detect other road users even better. In the future, your driver assist systems will be available even while downloading an update.
Other improvements
We are optimising the stability of mobile online services. For vehicles with head-up displays, we are improving the interaction between hardware and software.
Release notes 2
New functions of ID. Light
The ID. Light translates alerts from your infotainment and assist systems into light signals under the windscreen. With this Over-the-Air Update, the following functions are also supported:
Steering wheel contact detection
Adaptive Cruise Control ACC
Efficiency assist
Absolute reserve mode
Your car must have the respective equipment in order to use them.
Design adjustments to infotainment system
We are also making some adjustments to the design:
The media player gets a spot in the side tab in the Radio/Media tile.
Under “Settings” → “Home button design”, you can select your favourite flag.
If you are in the home screen, you can use the elongated menu button to access the tile view.
Other design adjustments make orientation easier.
Other improvement
Improvement to the Dynamic Road Sign Display.
Note:
Installation of this Over-the-Air Update is a prerequisite for receiving further updates.

I think I have received an email about this. However its all in German and embarrassingly, I don't speak the language. So in all honesty I haven't a clue about what is to happen. The title of my email is "Over-the-Air Update für Ihren ID. – Jetzt zustimmen."

The two steps take variable amounts of time as I understand it. The first, smaller download takes approximately 2 hours with a further 20 minutes to update the car’s system. The second download is longer, up to 8 hours I believe and longer to install.

Ours was in German too, but you just need to [press the blue 'Zustimmen" button to agree. Funnily, the agreement confirmed screen was in English.Beesrbusy wrote: ↑Fri Oct 01, 2021 8:59 am I think I have received an email about this.

One thing that did catch my eye was this:
"Dynamic high beam control and driver assistance systems
Vehicles equipped with dynamic high beam control can now be seen by other road users even better. In the future, your driver assistance systems will also be available while an update is being downloaded."
More easily seen by other road users? I wonder what that means in terms of the operation of the headlights?

Mine happened in August as I volunteered in an early wave.
Part 1 took maybe 10 minutes to download, and you're told it will take up to 30 minutes to install.
Part 2 took 20-30 minutes to download, you're told it will take up to 3 hours to install.
The downloads happen when the car is started, the installations when it is stopped and locked up.

Does anyone following this conversation know how long it will take to install? Hopefully there will be an option to schedule it or at least choose when to start the process.

I haven't noticed any difference, I was never flashed by an oncoming driver before and the vision was excellent with the graduated dipping - same now, been on 2.3 for about 6 weeks and done a few night drives.
I'm guessing 0% battery, aka turtle mode, but what colour/animation is used I've no idea.
There is one extra instance I've noticed since mine was updated, you get a light blue "flash" come up on the driver side as you drive along - I think it's related either to power or speed but honestly I'm not sure what it means.
I've looked for a "What does each ID. light colour/animation mean?" guide for 2.3 but haven't found one yet.
Does one have any choice about when the installation takes place? After all, I know better than the car whether I'm planning to go somewhere within the next three hours!scott28tt wrote: ↑Fri Oct 01, 2021 10:04 amRollingJ wrote: ↑Fri Oct 01, 2021 8:51 amGot mine too.Kirkbysteve wrote: ↑Fri Oct 01, 2021 8:31 am Finally received the email from VW this morning inviting me to agree to the software update.

Absolutely. It is offered to you as soon as available, it won't install while you're driving, it will appear on the Goodbye screen when you stop the car - ignore it til you're ready.
This is worth adding to this thread: https://www.volkswagen.co.uk/en/owners- ... e-2-3.html
