I've had an Enyaq 85 SE L for about 2 weeks now, and the Skoda Connect with Android is, let's say, "patchy". Most of the time it connects and seems stable, but it can be slow to do so, and you're let already driving when you find it decides its not going to connect which is really annoying. I have a OnePlus phone (Android 16) - these do not have Wifi charging, so I have taken to just plugging it in now, which is reliable, and of course, it charges. Its a pity as I was looking forward to wireless Android Auto which wasnt available on my previous (non-Skoda) car. The Infotainment system - for playing media, at least - has some issues -Not necessarily "bugs", perhaps "omissions". For example, music always starts playing from the first thing on my stored music, and I am getting very fed up with ABBA in Spanish now! Its particularly annoying as I mainly listen to audiobooks in the car and it will not pick up where it left of. Of course, playing these through Android Auto will solve that... but I have storage I'd like to use. Incidentally, the dealer told me the Enyaq is a 2027 build. I don;t know the software version, but I could get it, if it is useful. I'm hoping these things will be sorted out. Manufacturers really have got to be proactive with software updates if so much of the car tech relies on this stuff. Gone are the days when a SatNav map update would be all you got, and that perhaps once a year if you were lucky!
