I'm in Poland so it does not make any sense to send it to me due to high costs. The IC that needs soldering is 8-bit microcontroller PIC16F747, I marked it red on the picture below.

It's not the issue of wiring, it's probably the well known problem of breaking soldering points of one of ICs. If I am right then the repair is quite easy - it's enough to have this IC resoldered.

It's enough to drive external aftermarket PA

In original setup: 8 speakers means front 2 tweeters and 2 woofers, rear 2 tweeters and 2 woofers 6 speakers means front 2 tweeters and 2 woofers, rear 2 wideband

SmartLink - fully understood. It can be activated in your current unit. BUt what do you need oem sat nav,which is always outdated and offline, for if you have SmartLink and can use online navigation, which usually is actual and has traffic information available?

You can either buy activation from your Skoda dealer or the unit must be patched /hacked which requiresit to be disassembled and soldered 😞

I sent you on PM link to download firmware. Pls note it will requires maps re-installation after the upgrade.
