As per the title, just pending the TPI to be released and we can start booking ourselves in 
1810 is nearly out for those stuck on 16XX software :)

Mines booked in for a software upgrade this Thursday. It's on 1803 at the moment. When I booked it in the technician suggested that 'something more' than 1804 may be available. Fingers crossed.
Yeah, but for you the difference is not so dramatic - you have no idea how shitty 16XX is
Well that's true. I'll keep my fingers crossed for all of us!Yeah, but for you the difference is not so dramatic - you have no idea how shitty 16XX is

I was in the dealership today and I asked about a “cure all” update. The service manager claimed there’s nothing imminent. The infotainment system ruins a perfectly good car. At least it brightens up each day wondering what it’s going to do next, or not do!
Letchworth Garden City and it's booked in with the Seat/Cupra dealer here
So, took mine Formentor in for a software upgrade. Two issues, the infotainment screen has frozen on a couple of occasions and the car reads road signs wrong (like everyone else in the UK). When I spoke to the Technician he thought 1810 might be available but 1804 is available.
Anyway Cupra had the car for a day and when I picked it up they said that they had upgraded the screen software but not the OS. So I'm still on 1803. I queried why and they say that VW have told dealers NOT to carry out upgrades to 1804 as it does not fix anything and advise customers to wait for 1810. My copy of the invoice says as much. He want able to advise when 1810 will be available. Frustrating but not totally unexpected.

I can imagine. It sounds that manufacturer is not interested in customers only their money.
Some good news looks like the 1810/1890 update will be available shortly! I think a TPI needs to be raised before dealers will update

Thanks. And earlier units get Wireless Andriod Auto? That's my main concern.
What will the newer H/w units get with 1890 that the earlier with 1810 won't get?

From what I know 17xx/18xx will be able to upgrade to 1890 when released to dealers. 16xx will initially have to upgrade to 1810, then my understanding it can then be upgraded to 1890. So then all Formentors will be running on the same software, which is much better for future updates. I'm not 100% sure on wireless AA, I think it should come with the infotainment update. Someone else maybe able to clarify this
Looks like a lot of it is general software optimisation, to speed up the infotainment screen and fix the majority of issues people are reporting. As well as a few UI updates, but looks like nothing major. There is also news that new quad core Samsung chips with four times graphics performance will rolling throughout the VAG at some point, but not sure when that happening. Someone on the MK8 Golf forum posted a screenshot of a German car having H58 hardware code up from the current H56

Don’t think the AA will be applied to the earlier Formentors but it has it now on my July 21 model.
