As long as it's a Skoda.... Quite a few second hand Vag European cars get shipped to the Middle East where after changing the FeCs to the car brand they would come unstuck, but using the list above you'd get it working. Some Australians have actually imported European mib2 highs from retrofitters. I've advised them to use that Github patch software to get the RoW FeCs in. North Africa isn't served by mib2 high maps, mib2 standard it is, mib3 it is. That one comes up quite a bit as European secondhand Vag cars find their way to Africa. Think your slow download will be since you haven't got fibre to the home. Infrastructure problem 😟. It will arrive in NZ pretty fast at fibre speeds. I have had it all here from 300MBs in London to crawling rural wireless broadband of 30. Networked out from church roofs etc (for runner of wireless 4g) to full fibre to property at 900 MBs. Surprising knock on the door asking whether they could take some branches down at the bottom of the garden. Ours comes underground apart from collapsed ducting, camera down, washing up liquid and digging out to push it further along. Didn't help that the existing cable showed no entry point into the house. The house was built on it. Broken some installation rules. Chiseling on the foot of the house wall by the installation guys found a piece of BT plastic, then the phone cable and tube. Damp and radon gas can come why termination is suppose to outside the house... pass on whether radon gas getting into houses is an issue in NZ. Basically rural Wales has useless 4g in the main so I don't expect if I had a connected car it would not get updates. Some connected car users use Internet radio.... another dead end for us rural folk. What would we do without full fibre to the property 😍 Do you want to photograph your success screen so MartiniB can use it.

Hello everyone, I've finally made it onto Briskoda! I'm a big fan of everything related to the Skoda brand, so I figured it was time to officially join the community. Aside from my passion for cars, in my spare time I also run an audio code recovery platform for car stereos (including VAG/Skoda units). So, if any of you ever run into issues with a locked radio or navigation system code, feel free to reach out. Glad to be here and see you around the forums!

Hi. I have installed all the parts now and done the coding I believe is right, but fear I may have a couple of issues. It looks like I might have a wiring issue with a couple of sensors showing a short. I have extended the loom so may be my dodgy wiring. Also looks like it’s looking for rear cross traffic alert and ev motor. So I think dataset is wrong on module. (It was from a 1.4 hybrid) not sure if this can recoded or I need a different module. Any help gratefully received. I use carscanner rather than vcds hence the difference in format. 10.

Hi everyone, I am writing this post hoping someone here has already dealt with (and fixed) this nightmare on their Škoda Yeti. My panoramic sunroof is completely stuck. Whenever I try to operate it, I hear a loud grinding/crunching noise, as if the motor gear is slipping over the drive cables. Unfortunately, the glass is currently stuck in the partially open position but its missaligned (one side is lower then the other). If anyone has any guides, photos, or practical tips, it would be an absolute lifesaver. Thank you so much in advance for your help!

Hello Need some help please with my new head unit. Last night, I swapped out the Amundsen+ from my 2012 Fabia II Combi, and fitted a RDC 360 Pro that I obtained very cheaply from Ali Express. It works great (even the mic is apparently clearer than the factory one fitted in my light cluster) and it's good to have CarPlay in the car given that VW stopped updating the maps for the Amundsen+ quite a while ago. Anyway - I forgot to ask the seller to code out the reversing camera function (don't have one, no plans to fit one). Have been chatting with them this morning and they've confirmed it can coded out with VCDS. They've provided these screenshots (in Chinese) to help with making the right changes. Would anyone with VCDS in or around London and the Home Counties feel confident in doing this? Happy to come to you? Thanks Chris

@Seba800 what engine does your Superb happen to have so that some idea what DSG you have? A smaller TSI with a DQ200 or a bigger tsi or TDI and a DQ381?

Is it not based on drive mode? Just setup what you want against the Custom drive mode. That's what I did on my 2018 model

Jay, To be honest, I can’t recommend one from the other. You’re correct in that it’s an AI (I asked to different models and both said the same thing in a slightly different manner). I have in the past had uses of VCDS, that did the very limited stuff easily (wind back to pads for brake pad changes and code for a new battery, day light changes) but that’s just the simple stuff. It might be that ODB 3 is more than you need. I can’t advise either way to be honest.

As i mentioned in a previous thread, I've just taken ownership of an Octavia 2025 estate, so very much still getting to grips with the head unit functionality. Anyway, I downloaded the MySkoda app onto the mobile and proceeded to link the car details as instructed. Everything seemed to load fine, naming myself as primary user but I have noticed some unexpected changes which I'd like to discuss if I may? Can now see closed roads and slow traffic on the map. Graphics could be better but this increased functionality makes sense. I'm now required to enter a 4 digit pin before I can use the vehicle. I can see this being an extra security feature, but can I switch this off? The Climate settings seem now to have a default of blowing air at setting 4. I've changed this on several occasions to setting 1, but it reverts to 4 on start-up. Is it possible to change this default? Many thanks in anticipation of your replies

Many thanks guys, especially MartiniB. Tell, I had a look at the year and it says it is 2026/2027, although the major build is 2026. I have a Škoda Columbus so the FeCs should be ok for me. It’s 2230 here (New Zealand) and it’s taken a few hours to download and unzip to an SD card so I will load the maps tomorrow, but the files look ok, despite the file name, so I don’t foresee any problems. Thanks again.

Hi I am thinking on changing timing chain on my sons Mk1 1.2htp. Its done 78k and want to be on the safer side. No rattle as far as I can tell. Looking for recommendations on make of aftermarket timing chain kits. I normally use Gates belts but not sure re chain etc. Plus I believe there is a chain driven oil pump and wonder if I should change that while I am at it. Alasdair

Mate saying goodbye to his 89 year old 500 bhp Ford Tudor: Off to a new home and owner. I'd always marvelled that there was enough room between the tyres (ran at 18psi) for an axle and a diff. 😎 Gaz

Hornet Mimic Hoverfly in our garden. Not sure that I've ever seen one before - quite the whopper: Gaz

I liked this Alpine with just some blue trim. Dogs out for whatever before trip. Anyway. An early start and only 6 degrees C, lots of rain and today that ment 20-30 miles less range than over the past weeks of higher temps. Meant charging to add a few miles before my destination just 5 miles further on. New chargers going in hopefully.

This was with our 2009 Octavia VRS estate, car was sold and this left! Collect from Scottish Borders.

Thanks for clearing that up and your notes for future reference. I've printed it off :). Mr Bonk etc for a patch edit for them on VW / Seat for 453. Suspect 490 will be like this... we'll see, must not count our chickens.

If they do please tell me, I'm New to this EA211 tuning, can you tell me, what clutch was you using?

I've taken a look at the content.pkg for the ROW maps. For this instance I just looked the the AUS and ASIA files for the ROW maps. But it should be the same for every other continent/country of those ROW maps. The following FECs/FSCs are contained in the AUS and ASIA files: 023D003E (Audi), 083D0002 (Skoda), 063D003E (Porsche), 033D003E (Bentley). So no VW or Seat FSCs/FECs contained. This means the system will need to be patched by writing the Audi, Skoda, Porsche or Bentley ROW FECs in order to make them work on VW or Seat. For those curious in the future: You'll find the FECs/FSCs "needed" within the following path: Mib2 -> NavDB -> common_EU (as an example) -> 0 -> default -> content.pkg . You can open this file using Notepad, Notepad++ or any other software that lets you look at any file's text. For the ROW maps there are several common_xxx folders. Like common_aus, common_asia ... and so on. The rest is just looking at the contained FSCs and comparing them to the Map region list for MHI2 Map FECs you can find widely available online. They won't match 1:1, but if an FSC starts with 083xxxxx, then you know those are for Skoda.

Hey Is possible to disable coasting (sailing) on skoda superb 2021? Thats so anoying. I have odb eleven. Tnx

Yes i reckon many countries are niw seeing the conflict that Iran and USA is convince many countries to move away from reliance from fossil fuels and towards rebewables. Pakistan gas just refused its scheduled LNG shipment witb its exhorbatant price tag. Like many countries it has imported as much solar equipment, and batteries, that in can and now solar, batteries and associated electrical equipment keep the lights on, keep medicines cool, keep irrigation pumps running. Truml and Iran have accelerated the demise of the use of fossil fiels. Electric tuk tuks, electric motorbikes are squeezing out petrol vehicles as the liquid gold is beyond many people's ability to buy it. Even in the US solar and wind, with batteries, is becoming the dominant electrical generation despite Trump's best efforts to slow the rebewables taje over. Trump has been a catalyst for accelerator change ratgef than a conservative of the oil and gas industry. Nice one.

Thanks for checking,Rbz5416 . I was getting a bit paranoid that mine was missing this .

It happened again! Luckily a direct email to [email protected] seems to have done the trick this time. Looks like they were able to do something their end to resolve it remotely. A little bit frustrating if this is going to happen frequently. But if anyone else comes across this issue, try emailing the team above first.

Do we know whether these need the Skoda / Audi navigation FeCs added. Ie. Like 450 where it was targeted at specific brands for whatever reason. Europe we can't check this by installation easily. @viper42 may know. I never found the package file that gave the game away in 470 that it was universal. There are a few first lines in the metafile which do say which brands... Will look when up. Could be extra work for some RoW Seat / Cupra folk to get it working otherwise in RoW same as we did for 450. Think I can see what you mean by the file name... started to download. Will have a look. Is it really 2026-27 or 2027... two digits missing off. Have a look at the title inside to throw lights on that and the meta file on target. Await Vipers examination of the package for the FeCs that which I did not find for looking before. (English expression... for cant find it)

I saw that too but my SEL Edition doesn't show any lights, only service related items. A cursory look at the menus didn't show any obvious way to turn it on. But given how poor the menu structure is & the lack of documentation, it could be hiding anywhere. @Berisford reported seeing it in October '24 on what I believe was a '24 SEL & @pinkpanther confirmed it on a '23 SEL.

Well, they are beginning that move.
