Software Updates - keep getting this everyday
Posted: Wed Jun 17, 2026 8:38 am
I have 23 plate gti Polo. For the last few weeks I seem to be getting an almost daily notification that is a software update available on the info system. Getting annoying as the update will only load when vehicle is stationary and engine running - sometimes can run it when stopped at traffic lights!
Surely VW can’t be issuing daily updates? I guess I could reboot the info system but I presume that will mean losing the memory data for the stat nav system and all my various stored destinations? Also the radio stations I guess will need reloading.
Anyone else experiencing this? Any suggestions please about what if anything I can/should do. Vehicle came out of warranty in April when I did purchase the two year extension to the VW ‘data internet’ package (sorry can’t remember the correct name for it!).
