ID4 with 3.1 -- always have to clear "the primary user of this vehicle can track" message when getting in

I recently got my 2021 ID4 updated to 3.1 and now, whenever I get in to drive, the infotainment shows "The primary user of this vehicle can track the position of this vehicle and access additional vehicle information online. You can delete the primary user under 'Users'."

I then have to hit OK. Based on my needs and forum posts about User profiles, I currently don't have a primary user specified. Is there a good way to not have this message every time?

In order to create a primary user, I had to wipe my car from myVW app and re-add it using the QR code on the infotainment screen and guess what, as Grenamier says, now when I get in I have to confirm the active (primary) user every time.

Here's a thought - have you tried the Factory default to remove the user and see what happens if you cancel out of the select a user screen on first bootup?
There was originally no user other than the default guest user and that was what generated the message in my original post every time I get in.

@Manybees said he cancelled out of that dialog the first time and doesn’t get prompted… (I think I’m remembering that right)
When I got the car back after 3.1, I made no initial changes (ie, no user/profile set up) and it prompted me every time about the primary user message and I had to hit ok or cancel or something like that. I tried setting up a primary user and now every time it says hello [Firstname] [Lastinitial] and I have to hit either OK or change user.

Prior to the upgrade, I never had to hit anything.
