no update for me though, still 'stuck' on 20.7 after ~45min drive with the stick plugged in, with or w/o reseting Columbus

I doubt the car has enough CPU power to decompress tens of GBs of data in a reasonable amount of time anyway (and storage to keep the temporary files)

I extracted the files ...

I am from Eastern Europe (though not from Russia, I do have the MySkoda app in App Store and on my phone if it makes any difference) and I was not able to do the offline update (pending a longer drive with the stick inserted) ... btw, the file name I downloaded from the portal for my VIN is OI_P41_EU_202025_Offline_Update.zip

I downloaded the updated maps from the portal as well, copied them on a stick and tried to use it in the car but nothing appeared to be happening in the first few minutes so I gave up ... I know the stick was readable by the car (tried both exFAT and NTFS) because I could browse thru the files in the Media menu but nothing showed up in the System Infor > Update software ... I guess I can leave the stick inserted on a longer drive ...

which version of iOS are you using? I also use wireless Carplay and Spotify (iPhone SE 2020, iOS 14.3=latest) but the music never stopped once I started going thru other menus the whole sound/audio stopped a few times until I received a call or got out of the car for a few minutes a new annoiance I found is if I start using Waze and the phone is tucked away somewhere so that the GPS can’t locate it precisely, Waze will calculate the route relative to the last GPS position and will not update the current location even if I put the phone in its charging box (or close to a window) or if I cancel the route and i put another one... I have to turn off the engine to have Carplay disconnect and then turn on again with the phone in an ‘localizable’ position

my navigation db is still ‘stuck’ at 20.7 so my update was not related to that

same here, no changes in the System information page after

no smart watch here

I've had a similar issue several times by now: while driving and listening to music via wireless Apple Carplay (either music from phone's internal storage or via Spotify) the sound will simply mute by itself and even if I switch to radio, play with the sound volume (which is shown to be increasing/decreasing) or with the mute button or activate parking sensors the sound doesn't come back, everything is muted until I turn off the engine and wait for several minutes (turning it back on immediately doesn't solve the issue, neither a soft reset). By chance however I discovered that if I get a phone call while all sounds were muted I can answer it and the 'bug' is gone, all sounds are 'back' again. I'm hoping that this issue (along with several others MIB3 related) will be fixed with a future update ASAP. Kodiaq MY21 + Columbus MIB3 + Canton

thank you

since the topic is called 'Kodiaq questions' and I could not find a better suited one, I'll ask one here: can anyone confirm (or deny) that the port injectors have been removed from the 2.0 TSI 190 GPF WLTP engines on Kodiaq (as it happened on Superb) ?

I own a 2015 mk5 Mondeo Titanium FWD 2.0 150bhp diesel Powershift with plenty of extras, the car is listed as 1590kg and gets to 100km/h in 9.9s but in reality has 1775kg (almost 200kg more than on paper, have not tested myself the 0-100 however), Ford is plain and simple lying about the weight of the car; even on paper the car is ~100kg heavier that Superb or Passat, not to mention Mazda 6 (from the same class, Octavia is not in this class). I have several colleagues with Octavia 3 non-FL, various engines, all manual, all FWD, the only one that feels slower than my Mondeo is the 1.2 TSI 110bhp which is ~500kg lighter on the road. Any other Octavia is still at least 300kg lighter, of course it is slower and gets worse mileage. The only moment when the extra weight would be beneficial is in case of an impact with a lighter car, obviously not desirable but not to be overlooked either. This being said, the Mondeo has better noise insulated and little more spacious interior, the torque converters (now available for the diesels as well) are more reliable than the double clutch gearboxes (wet DSGs or Powershifts, Ford at this class has not used dry Powershifts), 'settles' on the road better on the long journeys and last but not least IMO it looks way better from the outside (not to mention IMO the Octavia 3 FL looks worse than the non-FL but each to his own taste). That being said, I don't have anything against Skoda, I'm still planning to replace the Mondeo with a Kodiaq next year and 4 years ago I would have bought a Superb 3 instead of the Mondeo had the S3 showed up a few months earlier.

can you fit a CR2032 in there? it would last longer (0.7mm/2.5mm ~= at least 33% more capacity)

any DPF has to regen at some point (otherwise soot will build up until it clogs the entire exhaust and the engine will not start anymore); afaik there's a hard limit (around 600miles=1000km) which if met (meaning if no regen has been initiated over that distance) the engine will triger a regen regardless of what the DPF sensors measure at that moment; i think you either never noticed it or you don't have a DPF at all
