I've just had it done at my first service. Only had it back a short time but certainly seems to be better. Of course it couldn't get any worse[emoji38]. I'm the first car they have done it to so I'll also report back to them next week. It was simply terrible and embarrassing for such a massive company to get so wrong. I'll report back here tonight after a long drive.

Is this fix just for those with the voice recognition "option", or for all Sat-Nav systems? (V1/V2?)
For all golf 7 sat navs nothing to do with voice recognition takes about an hour to do
About time!
Great, I am taking the 7R back to VW for it's first service so i can those black plastic thingys on the rear hatch that are coming off fixed and any software updates such as this.
When it comes to fixing stuff, VW Australia's reputation for moving at a glacial pace is well deserved (IMO) - seems like we have yet an other example of this here! How long has it been since these problems were first identified - has to be close to 3 years? And how hard can it be to have a SATNAV say "road" (not "row-ed") correctly in the 21st century? Still, better late than never.
Anyone got an identifying number for this software patch that we can qote to the stealers when they say that they have never heard of the fix?
Frankly, the fix I'm after more is the ability to update V1 SatNav systems. No point in saying row-ed if it doesn't have it on the map!!!
Eaglehawk: LOL- a very good and well made point!!
I got so excited when I read peekay's good news that I forgot about the V1 update delay. You have identified a further example of VW Australia's glacial speed at fixing systemic problems in the mk7. The SATNAV on my Golf is a V1 as well - so I have the same concerns!
