From Battery Life.
Description:
Volkswagen is finally rolling out the long-awaited software 5.6 update for all ID models with the newer hardware — including my Volkswagen ID.7 “Hank.” After almost two years on software 4.0, my ID.7 is finally getting a major update at the workshop.
In this video, I explain:
Who gets the update over-the-air (OTA)
Who must visit the dealer
What changes from 4.0 → 5.0 → 5.4 → 5.6
New features like Remote Parking Assist, updated HUD, UI changes, bug fixes & more
Why Volkswagen still doesn’t allow Wi-Fi downloading
How to book your update and what to expect
If your company uses electric cars, Tronity can help track home charging costs automatically. More details and the link are below.
📊 Hank goes into the workshop Dec 8 — I’ll document everything when 5.6 is installed.
