  1. I did it with SD card. First time I tried it (with the file downloaded from Skoda site) it didn't work. I then did a format of the SD card and added the file linked above and it worked without issues. Not sure if it was the change of file or formatting the SD card made the difference.
  2. I tried out the maps at the link shared by @MartiniB, update worked fine, but it seems that the maps still don't support Irish post codes. Has anyone had any success getting eircodes to work?
  3. Thanks all, will try out the maps and settings during the week
  4. I downloaded the update file from skoda.ie yesterday using the VIN. It gave me this file "HIGH2__P370_EU_202425", so seems to be just for EU. @MartiniB is this similar to the files in the link you mentioned? Or maybe more available on the maps you have shared? @Danoid It would be great to get the live traffic reports on the maps too, is this available in Ireland or just UK? Does that update via the RSAP interface to phone, or does it need a the phone to hotspot? Are the traffic reports similar to google maps where it will show delays? I may be able to get access to VCDS, and im comfortable enough with PC and diagnostics but still wary of doing harm with it! 🙂 I will take a look through the forum here, i'm sure someone has an explainer on how to do it anyway. My plan was to use android auto for pretty much everything, but it seems the audio quality is not as good via android auto. I cant understand why it would be, but it's noticeably different when switching from one to the other.
  5. I recently bought a 2019 Superb Mk3 with the Columbus (I think) Head Unit, I don't think it has been updated in the past few years. I see updates available on the Skoda site and a have a few questions before I pull the trigger on updates. Any risks with doing the software updates (maybe leave well enough alone?). Maybe add new bugs in the system etc? Any known advantages to the upgrades? New features, bug fixes, or maybe some features disappearing in newer version? I assume updating the maps should be risk free? Is the only option to download the whole world map? It seems massive, I wont be going much further an Ireland, UK or France Will the navigation system accept eircodes (Irish postcodes)? Am I better off just stick with android auto and ignore the built in maps? Thanks
  6. The driver seat on my 08 Octavia is stuck in lowest position. It seems that there is something broken in the mechanism (rather than it just being jammed). Is this a common issue with the older octavias? Would it be reasonably easy to fix, or do I just need to go out and get another seat?
