Closing down 2G/3G network and eCall service
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.

Closing down 2G/3G network and eCall service
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?

Kodiaq winter/All season/c.v tyres
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.

Bike transportation
Yes and with the cover pulled back. You can’t see anything of the bike.

I can put my XL 29” HT in the boot of my 5 seat Kodiaq. Without the wheels on of course.

Running Boards; Expensive Bauble or Useful Accessory
That is such an awful construction. Can’t belive that a company can sell that. Looks like a beta setup before you make the final product.

Black Sportline going more black
The dealer installed my mudflaps, so I can’t say to 100%, but I can’t find any signs of modifications to them. I just told them to install mudflaps and they put on the normal ones without charging me for it.

Problem with navigation database
Problem solved. After some clicking around and some restarts later, I got the same error message as my wife got earlier today. The update process was not finished. Great!

Problem with navigation database
After a recent map update for my Columbus system I have some problem with the navigation. Starts up perfect and shows the map with no problem. After about 1 minute it says "problem with the database for the navigation" and the map is just black. The error message is translated from swedish, so it may say something else in English.

Black Sportline going more black
Planning to remove "Kodiaq" and "4x4" emblem from the rear of my 2020 black Sportline. I guess it would look more clean with the words removed. I know the lettering is black, but I think it still would give a more clean look. I will also change the front badge to a black Skoda badge. No chrome at all in the front of the car and Skoda puts a chrome badge. I think it stands out too much. The car will look better when I put my summer wheels on it. Have to wait for the winter to leave first. Is the front badge just attached with adhesive, or is there a screw there holding it to the bonnet?
