Hey all.

Wanted to create a thread to track the Golf 8 software updates and any issues encountered (if any).

As of today (22nd September 2019), there was an OTA update and I've now got the following.

This information can be found by going to: Settings -> System Information (down the bottom)

To check for updates to the vehicle: Go to Settings -> System Information and then press "Update software". Wait a (long!) while and it'll hopefully find one!
To check for updates to "Store" purchases: Open the store (with the vehicle ignition on) and any updates will be displayed directly on the application tile.
