Software update A896
- Thread starter Hizzards
- Start date
The voice control is temporarly disabled until the full update has completed. You will know when that happens as the software version will show 1896.
Ah ok, how do you force the next part of the update, as that update came through 2 days ago
I’ve had two update parts and my voice control is working, but it’s still A896. That was a couple of days ago
I have voice control back again but still A896
Only had two update parts
The second was a couple of days ago, when will the third instalment arrive?
What versions were people on before these OTA latest 1896 update?

Yes it is included in the first year but after that it's about £100 a year I believe
. Mine's up for renewal at the end of July. I doubt I will bother at that ridiculous price!

I agree, I’ve never taken them, same with my Octavia vRS, never paid after the first year. It’s not worth the money for the OTA updates either, smartphones provide the rest of the functionality (route guidance, internet radio, YouTube music etc).

I’ve found a place to check status of the download (after thinking an update disappeared).
System settings > system information >show all updates. We know watch the download during every journey
(apologies if people already knew this!)

Not sure your second point is correct (about it being 1896 when fully updated OTA). I have version A896 and voice control back after second update - see below photo
It's been 3 days now with no further updates and still on A896 *with* voice control back again.
I do wonder if they have stopped the OTA rollout a few days ago. I had two updates:
3400 megabytes which removed the voice control
1700 megabytes which brought it back again
I'm reading about a third part I am missing that takes A896 to 1896. Haven't had that though.
My point above is that it's not 1896 that brings back voice control. It's "Part two of A896".
Sadly most of my issues e.g. ACC problems, remain
I too have been watching the update download as I drive.... Apologies your honour....I’ve found a place to check status of the download (after thinking an update disappeared).

But then this morning I realised all the other text on the screen had disappeared, graphics were OK but no text. Awaiting next vehicle start to see if it's fixed itself.
I hope your dealer is one of the better ones! Fingers crossed they can sort it.
I read online you can pull fuse 19 to trigger a new download slot. However that didn't work for me.
The ACC undertaking issue might be fixed in the elsive "third OTA installment" but I have yet to see that to try it out.
...and it did, currently updating.I too have been watching the update download as I drive.... Apologies your honour....
