That's what I've been told too, my hardware won't accept anything further than it has already has (1696 I think) and hence it's going back in for them to change the hardware so it can be updated to the latest software.

Mine went into the dealer again yesterday and I've now been told that there are no software updates for my car as the head unit (B I think) has the most up to date software for it and it won't accept any of the new software fixes. Therefore I need the unit replaced, just waiting for a date they can do that. Hopefully that won't take long and will finally sort all the issues.

I had this last year and they performed a software update which worked for about 4 months. 7 weeks ago it started happening again, once a week at first but over the past 4 weeks it's been every journey and again affecting the infotainment system, especially the ability to use Satnav, onboard or Apple. It was booked in again for today and I was told shortly after leaving it with them that there were no fault errors logged and therefore nothing they could do, oh and if it happens again to book it in!!! I calmly said it is happening every day and that you had fixed it once before so why can't you do that again. I was then told that there was no software fix for this currently and they'd be in touch again when they had one 🤬 Thank goodness I've only got 5 months left on the lease. No more Skodas for me.

Mine went in again yesterday as the SOS was playing up again and it started randomly asking for my S Pin every day. I was told there was a software recall that should fix these and they had it all day. I'm still on suffix B and 1668 after picking it up though, not really bothered as long as the problems don't arise again. Only 10 months left on the lease so fingers crossed.

Mine went in for a full day of updates a couple of weeks ago, then the SOS issue started. Hopefully by now you'd have thought Skoda would have sent out instructions to dealers on which updates to miss out to prevent it happening, but then my dealer only contacted Skoda to see if they had any idea on how to fix the SOS issue, so I'm not sure if there is any communication from HQ down. Fingers crossed yours gets sorted ok.

Mine went in to the dealer yesterday to try and fix this and they told me that after speaking to Skoda technical they were instructed to do a hard reset and then only reload some of the updates it went in for a couple of weeks ago. Seems that perhaps some of the recent software updates might be causing the issue. Would make sense as mine has been trouble free, (software wise) until it had a whole day of updates done. Fingers crossed that's that sorted.

Sorry to hear your woes, I have lost all faith in them to be honest and what they say as mine went in for a full day of software updates 2 weeks ago and straight away the infotainment system wouldn't work and now I have the SOS issue. I asked them if they have had a lot of Mk iv's in for issues and they said I was the first, yeah right!

Mine was in for a full day of software updates a couple of weeks ago, even though I've been lucky enough not to have had any issues with the car really, (apart from a badly factory fitted wire). The only thing I had noticed afterwards was every now and then when I unlocked and opened the door, any door, there was a noise from the speakers and the only way I can describe it was like a short burst of machine gun fire! Didn't really bother me so haven't done anything about it but on a long journey on the way back from the coast yesterday I started getting the double popping noise and then the SOS alert. It started to make a call but then cut itself off before a connection was made. This happened about 4 times before it had a meltdown then I lost all the infotainment and radio etc. So, despite apparently having all the latest software updates I have to book it in again this morning to see if they can sort this one out!

I've just got back from the garage again as the sat nav wasn't working so he hooked it up for 5 minutes and it's now all working again . I've got the 1.5 but don't have the camera, can't say I've noticed anything different at all to be honest.

Apparently it's to do with the head unit code, mine ends in B so 1668 is the latest update for that unit.

Those three updates are what I got too but again no idea what they are for. Good to know that's what others with the same headunit have got.

Thanks for the swift reply. That's interesting to know, mine ends in a B so that explains it. To be honest, I'm not really bothered as it all works fine, (well it did until yesterday!). Going back in this afternoon for them to see what the issue is with the sat nav, luckily it's only 10 minutes away.

To be honest, I'm a bit confused by all the variations in the updates. Mine has been on 1664 since I got it last October and I've had no issues with the car at all apart from the HVAC but that was due to a wire being in the wrong place. It spent the whole day at the dealers yesterday for a software update and now it's only on 1668. I haven't a scooby what these really mean but with others in the 1700's and even 1800's it all sounds a bit odd.

Interesting to see your software version is 1803. Mine went in to the dealer yesterday for a whole day of software updates but mine only went from 1664 to 1668. On top of that the Sat nav now won't load, it just seems stuck on the loading screen!

Chatting with the mechanic, he did say that the head units, (radio), were terrible with wires trailing where they shouldn't.
