I had an OTA update notification today as well. The infotainment runs version 1940, the update is version 1985. MY 2024, non FL. I'll go through the process of updating and will report back.

Yes, the volume gets quite loud when really close to an obstacle.

If using/moving the car quickly after startup you activate the sensors by getting near an obstacle, it can beep loud. If you wait for a second to get the infotainment to boot up, it should be normal in my experience.

In English. I'm not native speaker, but I still consider my accent to be good. However, sometimes controlling the AC through Laura seems slow and the assistant sets the wrong settings.

Is there any improvement in the voice assistant?

If you press and hold the right scroll wheel, it will blank out the details in the dials (as in the second picture). If you want to change the displayed information, click the scroll wheel without holding it longer. Then, it will highlight the dial/place where you can edit the displayed info.

Can you be more specific? What change have you noticed?

Do you actually have virtual cockpit? I think with the FL, there's no analogue dashboard anymore, only digital one. But, the digital should be a basic one, with a virtual cockpit version optional. Maybe record a video so we can see what your FL layout looks like.

The standard wheel size in 16inch is 205/60R16.

The 48v battery on the e-tec is located below the driver's seat (on LHD cars). So, the boot space should be the same & should take full sized wheel. Does it not come with one?

Manoeuvre braking is only for low speed parking manoeuvres, and it uses the parking sensors. If you disable it, it will disable both front and rear auto braking. However, it is not related to front assist (AEB), as it is a different system. If you dont want to disable it, I think it will not intervene by braking if you are moving very slowly.

I don't think there's a real need to go full OEM on windscreen washer fluid in terms of longevity. In my opinion, you only need to use windscreen washer fluid and top it off with distilled water, not tap water. However, I do seem to notice that the original washer fluid worked really well at dissolving debries compared to other stuff I used. Regarding the fluid level, I don't think that the car came with a lot of fluid. I also had the notification pop up rather quickly. However, the reservoir is quite large, so you can fill it up to the brim and it should last you a lot longer.

I would say, for me, more interesting question would be if it is possible to get the upgraded infotainment (and Cockpit) visual look of the FL version, on our current displays. I guess that's out of realm of possibility?

Thank you for the pictures! The camera looks nice, I'll be contacting Fitcamx, probably only for front 4k camera!

Can we see more pictures of the dashcam, from inside and from the outside? Does it hang below the rearview mirror and obstruct the field of view? Anyway that install looks really tidy! The first time hearing about the company, might give them a try.

Did anyone experience improvement with the audio quality on version 1969? Or is that only on Golf MK8?
