Hello guys, In this weekend I've tested the above MAP Upgrade process, in offline mode. I can truly say it just worked. I extracted the archive and copied all the files directly on root. The USB stick(prior formatted exFAT) has been plugged in one of the front USB ports on trip longer than 2h. Now, the Navigation Database version is 22.6 - looking at system information. But, I've just found that a new version is available at: https://updateportal.skoda-auto.com/en-GB/Updates OI_P95_EU_202325_Offline_Update.zip I'll try on my next "long" journey. Cheers

@varooom, Why @Andy585's car is running on VW SW? Is this a mistake or this is how the new SK models will be delivered from now on?! Thx

Hello all, Few words with my conclusions after conducting short debugging sessions on this issue: 1. The last 2 updates (one with some Error fixes and one with Service Campaigns) have totally broken my unit. Before them, I've had max 2 or 3 reboots in one month.After both updates kicked in(even if I tried to postponed them for some trips) my unit rebooted(at least yesterday and a day before), 4 times in a loop right after I started the car and the journey. 2. Before every reboot, if the car was stationary, "Park Assist" error and "Audio Currently Unavailable" messages were displayed in a loop on the VC. 3. The reboots still happened if the ACC was disabled or enabled! Also, the reboots happened without the AA (smart link connected) - for this test I've left every paired phone(mine and my wife) in my house just to make sure it's not in the car area. 4. Software version: 1896 (update made by the dealer a few months ago). 5. I'm based outside UK (EU region), so it has nothing to do with the region, I think. 6. Sometimes the reboots appeared more on wet weather (it rained a lot in RO for the past weekend). 7. The 12V Battery voltage drops again below 12V(maybe the unit is constantly rebooting during the car is stationary), even if it was previously changed by the dealer at the software update. Hopefully a fix will be available soon. Cheers

@kreeker, Can I ask how did you tweak the HUD directions from the internal menu? Can you please, give more details? Really appreciate. Thx

It will be very useful to get access to the firmware file and to do the update by yourself, like a normal smartphone, OR to received it via OTA update. If not, the remaining option is a trip to your dealer and loose minimum half a day there 🙃

Thx @Rainesh, Do you know when the firmware will be available to us? Thx

From what I can see the clever guys already updated the MIB3 Infotainment to 1941 on VW Mk8: Is anybody aware of such procedure for SK too? Related Article: https://www.golfmk8.com/forums/index.php?threads/infotainment-hardware-and-software-updates.391952/page-72

Can someone with new steering wheel please share the hardware and software versions from latest batch? Thank you

@Chrisg2021, Here is the coding if you would like to do it by yourself. Bear in mind that beside the dongle you will also need a Pro subscription. Lane Assist to "Last setting" Driver assistance (module A5) > long coding > Configuration for lane departure warning KI15 > change to "last setting" Standard ACC Control unit 13 Long coding Cruise control mode Set to: Activated Cheers

Thx @adelgadom, for getting back to my messages with a very useful advise. The big concern for me it was that because I do NOT have the build-in Sat Nav (and I don't want to spend money on this because it's a real crap in my country) the maps upgrade process will not start/work in offline mode. But, in fact I will give it a try on my next long trip (>2h) to see what will happened. I'll come up with an update afterwards. Cheers

Hello @Bechrissed, Here is the official link: https://www.phonostar.de/vw/en/download. just add software version from your unit in the search box, then a download button will be active. e.g. "5E3035816J" bear in mind that latest version 1.31.42 can't be installed. More details in the related thread: https://www.skodacommunity.de/threads/radiodatenbank-update-ist-moeglich.144957/page-8#post-2349987 I can provide the archive for the old version that worked for me (just give me a trusted upload server). Very strange that the above link is not available. Probably they removed the file from the server. Cheers, D

You can try to update the Radio Logo database by following the below instructions: Good luck!

@Bial, Can you share the software versions that you are running on? Thx

Has anybody tried to update the maps in offline mode? I've found the below thread, but it's clear to me if this is applicable to Columbus/built in Sat Navs units only. In my case, the unit is MIB3/Bolero. https://www.seatcupra.net/forums/threads/updating-the-inbuilt-mib3-satnav-offline.472408/ QQ: Does it make sense to bother updating the maps database, in this case? Ta

I've managed to do the upgrade on the Radio Stations Logo Database by just following the instructions from the Phonostar official document: https://www.phonostar.de/download/vw/37W_Stationlogos_CustomerUpdate.pdf More details in the original source thread: https://www.skodacommunity.de/threads/radiodatenbank-update-ist-moeglich.144957/post-2349030 Note: For those unfamiliar with German (Iike me), just use Google Translate to find the relevant information. Remarks: There are some issues with latest version (v1.31.42), so debug is ongoing. I used v1.31.40, instead. https://www.phonostar.de/download/vw/MQB3_LGe_Europe_v1.31.40.zip Good luck!

Marvellous news! Thx @Edela for sharing with us. Can you please do a full scan/backup of your car and post here the software versions that you are running on (modules 19, 44, 5F, 75, 13 especially) ? Cheers

I've replaced the front wipers with Bosch A102S: https://m.autodoc24.ro/bosch/7882805 and rear wiper with Valeo Silencio VR267: https://m.autodoc24.ro/valeo/7950434 Just plug&play for all of them.

@Wonderloaf, Yes. I own the ODB11 next generation device. I would recommend to buy same dongle. Just subscriber to their newsletter because sometimes they will release special packages (dongle + credits + Pro plan subscriptions) on a better price rather than buy all of them individually. Cheers

@SkOmk4, My answer in line: 1. All the Release Active DTCs will be present only on the SFD locked modules. The reason why the DTC is still present on that module is that you forgot cu SFD Lock the module after coding. The correct "procedure" to do some coding is: a. Open the Hood (to bypass car firewall) b.Check for previous DTCs before do any coding c.SFD Unlock the module you what to code d. Do the coding d. SFD Lock the module back e. Check for DTCs 2. Backup of whole cars/modules is a MANADATORY step (prerequisites) before start playing around with OBD11 dongle. The saved backup is the only one that can save you if something goes wrong, apart from a visit to your dealer. 3. Like I mentioned in my previous message, try to forget about the built-in OCA, and do the coding manually. If you mess something up(sometimes it can happened due to some parameters in German), just check the History section on that module and revert/rollback your changes. Hopefully this is useful for others too!

All E-TEC, or Mild-Hybrid, vehicles has DQ200 transmission box.

G-meter display will work only with Sat Nav (this is my assumption), because I've had enable it on my Bolero but w/o any luck. Please someone with Columbus, confirm the above?

Fan Display level Auto Original source: ---- The following code is used: Control unit: 08 Air Conditioning - Adaptation Blower display in auto operation: Blower display in auto operation: activated @SkOmk4 FYI

As a general guideline, I would advise to use manual coding and adaption rather that built in OCAs, since the last ones will not leave a trace if something goes wrong. Please see related threads for more details: https://forum.obdeleven.com/thread/16159/adaptation-invalid?page=1&scrollTo=76547 https://forum.obdeleven.com/thread/17388/invalid-adaption?page=1&scrollTo=76545

Short Update: I've managed to do the key mapping with the Guest profile/account. Basically one key is mapped to Primary User (with also have Skoda Connect online services: lock, unlock,...) and the 2-d key is mapped to Guest one. I've did some testing with different settings for the 2 users (different VC layout, different Bolero widgets, different favourites Radio stations, because my card doesn't have memory seats and mirrors) and it seems that is working as expected. Locking the car with primary key, and returning after 10-15min with the 2-d key, and vice-versa, the correct settings(the ones mentioned above) are stored and loaded. The only disadvantage of this it's that configuration for the Guest user is stored locally within the MIB3, rather than cloud for the Primary user. In case something when wrong the settings/configuration might get lost. Still I don't understand why I can't add a new user even if an "empty" Skoda Connect account has been created in first place.

Same in my case. I used the secondary key to unlock the vehicle and try to add a new user, BUT I can't continue after the validation screen with the QR code and SKODA ID profile verification. It's keep complaining about "unable to load the required data. Try again later". Re-tried in this evening with same result.
