I thought a good idea to post this great news, it's been an issue with lots of people with their MIB3 based infotainment being buggy.

Hopefully this will resolve the issues since they removed the physical buttons.  Also the system should be more responsive.

I suspect that the updates won't be as wide reaching as you hope for. 

 

I read some time ago that new VAG cars were getting an improved MIB3 infotainment system, but that it would also include new more powerful hardware to improve its response times. And I also rejoice to see VAG abandoning its touchscreen controls to return to physical buttons, but the article only mentions changes to the steering wheel buttons which are fine on my Karoq. 

 

As a side-issue, I have been experimenting on using the voice control today, and find that I can use it to control the radio, media player, satnav and telephone, but not the climate control or heating systems as more recent cars are said to be able to do. Even so it can be a usable compromise.

Time will tell how far forward (backwards) the updates will get us in the future.

 

Doesn't apply to me with my old car, so currently not too worried, but should be welcome news to those that are annoyed with the touch controls and slow systems.
