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

I'm also considering either an Octavia 3 or a Superb 2 FL these days ... With the Superb 3 getting closer (next summer?), there are now some nice discounts on the current model, I've been offered a Superb2 2.0 TDI 140 DSG6 Ambition=SE (plus Xenons and a few extras) for 24.5k while an Octavia 3 2.0 TDI 150 DSG6 Elegance with more or less the same options (if not standard) goes actually for 25.5k ... The difference is more or less the same between 1.8 TSI 160 vs 1.8 TSI 180, both with DSG7 ... I do want a quiet cabin during long journeys however I would only need the extra leg room at the back a few times per year, being the driver I would rather trade a few cm of car length to a few cm of extra width but the two cars since almost identical on paper (in terms of interior width) ... I like the newer generation of displays with touchscreens, instruments, however many people complain about these being launched too early and with all sorts of quirks/issues Octavia 3 has also new engines as well (both petrols and diesels), I guess it's too early to tell of reliability issues ... Are they at least quieter than the older ones from Superb? The older 1.8 TSI 160 had direct+MPI injection too or carbon deposits is something I should keep an eye on? Do the new diesels have the same injectors as the old ones? I've read the new EA288 diesel has the DPF closer to the engine so I suppose the regeneration process should happen less frequently and be over faster, any real world feedback on this?

even with the DVD for Eastern Europe maps inserted? btw, is this older-gen (compared to the one from Octavia 3) Columbus prone to become non/less responsive when the temperature drops outside until the inside of the car gets warmer? I see several complains regarding the new touchscreens as winter gets closer thanks and sorry to hijack this thread

Well, I'm asking because I can't try it myself; I'm still considering buying a Superb with Columbus

is the HDD too small to save them all on it or is it a purposely built limitation? I'm not sure I understood whether or not I would be able (using some maps from HDD and the other ones from an inserted DVD) to plot a direct course from an Eastern Country to an Western Country (or viceversa) ...

can you save to the HDD and use both Western and Eastern Europe maps at the same time? do the system see the proper road connections where one country from Western Europe has a border with a country from Eastern Europe?

what's the fuel mileage you're getting? at what average speed?

what's the approx. instant consumption and RPM in 6th gear at the legal 130km/h ?

I've heard it before but it can't be true ... The petrol engines are naturally aspirated ones (though at 13 or 14 to 1 compression ratio you'd better use expensive fuel on the long run) but the diesels must have a turbocharger ... I don't think there's anyone anymore making NA diesels, you'd be getting less than 100hp out of 2.2l

I agree that while I may turn my head to see how other people's cars look like from the outside it matters more how my car looks from the inside (since that's what I'm going to see mostly) so estate or sedan/hatchback does not matter that much to me but SHMBO has a say in all this as well and if they're going to add the HB TSI DSG6 to the menu soon we both may get what we want btw PUFPAF, what's your fuel consumption in and outside of Sofia? are you using 95ROZ fuel or more expensive ones?

in all fairness, had Mazda have the same success with 6 that Skoda has with O3, there could have been similar delays getting the 6's all the way from Japan when you say plenty of legroom in the back, was it a 6 estate or a 4-door version? for some reason the estate is quite shorter in wheelbase and total length I'm considering the same cars (plus keeping an eye on the new Mondeo, the new Passat is too expensive and the next Superb is too far away) the 6's instruments' cluster and dashboard look outdated, that TomTom doesn't look like it belongs there; I wonder if they sell the same looks in Japan as well
