Skoda says the close down of the network is out of their control and then it’s not their problem. The latest is that they will pause the controll of the eCall function at the MOT and come up with a solution. It’s not sane to make about 800000 cars in Sweden useless. I really hope that VAG come up with some sort of module that you change and all the function will work again.

The mobile network working with 2G/3G technology is about to close down where I live (Sweden). We have yearly inspections of our cars for them to be road legal and in these inspections the eCall function have to be fully working. If it’s not your car is not any longer alowed to be driven on public roads. Right now there is no solution for this and maybe all cars with these function and with just 2G/3G connectivity will be rendered pretty much useless. Skoda can’t tell what cars that will be affected. A bit strange I have to say. Some Skoda owners in Sweden has already reported problem with this. Skoda will not even sell the services for My Škoda app (map update, trafic info, aux heater) after 31/12 2024 if you live in Sweden. I have the bigger entertaiment system with a separate sim card and the LTE connectivity in my Kodiaq. I wonder is that will help me to keep my eCall function alive and keep my car rolling. I would like Skoda to bring some sort of solution to this. Like change the com module to one with 4G/5G and put a price on that fix. I use the aux heather all the time (Sweden can be a bit cold sometimes) so I would like keeping my my Škoda app alive. The Škoda I have is a 2020 Kodiaq with about 30000 km on it and it would be silly if it will be useless all because of the eCall function have no network to connect to. Any one who knows a solution to change the com module to 4G/5G or if I will be saved by my external sim card in my entertainment system?

We have 4 cars with 8 wheels each and 2 trailers with 4 wheels each. Can have a pretty long table with all these wheels.
