Don't think it's related to the software issues, but left work Friday and keyfob wouldn't unlock car. Used the mechanical key to unlock and get in(alarm went off for about 5 seconds!), thought it was just a duff keyfob battery problem. Changed battery and it still wouldn't lock/unlock, tried spare key and that worked fine so assumed fob was faulty. However spare key is only working intermittently now as well (Sunday). Car booked in monday to be looked at. 😞

Have you put the keys in the cup holder in the front of the centre console to re-sync them?

Yes, then when i got out of car first time i could lock car with original fob, that's why i thought it was a dodgy battery. Later that day it stopped working again.

Hi Steve. Did you get this sorted? I’ve been having the same problems with my GTE.
VW can’t find the problem. I’ve had 3 replacement keys, numerous batteries and am still getting the issue. They insist there is nothing wrong with my car
