Faffed about with this for quite a while today. Skoda Kodiaq 2017 Mk1 Seems the car is super sensitive to the format of the usb file AND where you extract the zip file to Pulled the download of abut 17GB from Update portal. Entered my VIN Got a download link for HIGH2_P410-EU_202522.zip Wait for download to finish I tried using every variant of format on Linux and Windows to get the usb format right to no avail. I wrote one mp3 file to the usb stick to be sure the car could read it. This saves copying 17Gb to the stick and having to retry with different options which takes a while even with a USB-C fast sandisk drive Eventually I used RUFUS which I also use to burn ISOs to USB for installing Operating systems. Prepare a blank USB card Download Rufus (free) software from www.rufus.ie/en website. Insert your USB flash drive into computer, and launch Rufus. Select Non Bootable from the Boot Selection menu. Select MBR from Partion Scheme menu (the other option won't work). Select FAT32 from the File System. Format the drive. Write an mp3 file there (music) to ensure the USB is readable from the car. Plug it into your car's USB port Check that Format is good and car can read it and play the music. Extract the Skoda Zip file to the root of the USB drive. Note: by default HIGH2_P410-EU_202522.zip will unzip into a folder HIGH2_P410-EU_202522 in which there will be 2 folders and a text file like: Mib1 Mib2 metainfo2.txt You want to copy these 3 items in the top level folder of the USB (NOT in the HIGH2_P410-EU_202522 folder) for example if your USB is mapped to say E: drive on your windows machine, the files should be at E:\metainfo2.txt and NOT at E:\HIGH2_P410-EU_202522\metainfo2.txt On mine at least this step was super important. 11. After that from the Nav App go to settings and Map Version and choose Update (USB/SD Card) option Takes about 40-45mins to update. Go for a drive or keep infotainment powered on, but dont turn off infotainment while update is running. In my car if i open the door with radio on it turns off. Good Luck! Thanks to Reddit CarAV for the reminder that RUFUS is the best at formatting

2l Diesel DSG 380 7 speed 2017 I had this happen on my DSG, ODB gave faulty pressure sensor 2 on the Mechatronic unit. Cost €1400 to replace it. I did research if it was user servicable, but the circuit board is immersed in the mechatronic oil. I am fairly handy but wouldnt take it on as a diy project. THe actual pressure sensor was available on alibaba for about €30, but no guarantee that it would fix the issue. I tried to argue that it was a design flaw as so many clearly failing in normal use, but they did not budge. Cant blame the dealer who did ask, and I called Skoda direct. Got them to do a full gearbox service at same time as they have to drain it anyway and the DSG is rated for 60k between gearbox oil services.
