Cars without wireless android -> update available!!
VinzClortho replied to VAGProf's topic in Skoda Octavia Mk IV (2020 > )
I see, I thought the cars hotspot needed to output 5ghz I’m afraid I can’t help with that, the router doesn’t output separate channels, and the car is out of Wi-fi range as well. -

I’ve just had my SOS unit replaced and I’m now on hardware version F and software 1806. I can confirm that on Apple CarPlay I now have turn by turn navigation directions on the speedo screen which I didn’t have previously. -

Morning, so I’ve just been fiddling with the system and I can’t see anywhere that says whether it’s 5ghz Wi-fi. On iPhone that information isn’t in the hotspot menu, and it doesn’t seem to be started on the stereos hotspot or Wi-fi settings, am I missing it somewhere? I can confirm that on Apple CarPlay I now have turn by turn navigation directions on the speedo screen which I didn’t have previously 👍 -

I guess it’s entirely possible that the e-sim is within the SOS unit, and may also contain the Wi-fi unit for wireless connection I’m on iPhone and that has always worked wireless for me -

Hiya, so I was told it was an SOS unit replacement, oddly they needed both keys so they could recode them, which would seem to indicate more than just the SOS unit to me (happy to be corrected) but it is listed on the service paperwork as SOS unit replacement after: Before: -
Sure thing. The update reset all settings so I’ll take a look when getting everything back to normal tomorrow .

Is any Octavia MK4 without fault?

T*ssers? -
My car was in for an SOS unit replacement today. I’ve been lucky and this is the only recurring issue I’ve had (1.0 e-tec se-tec). The garage informed they had carried out a software update and I’m now on 1806 from 1688, oddly the hardware has gone from B to F as well ive not had time to try much out but the radio logos are more snazzy. There’s also a hint to the pop out window on that screen too. Some text is smaller and sharper

I think D is set up largely to maximise fuel efficiency over performance so if you need a burst of acceleration manually shifting with the paddles, or moving into sport is best. I haven’t really noticed this in my 1.0 e-tech but previously had a 1.0 Arona and it performed similarly, for overtaking or passing a cyclist I would switch into sport, it becomes second nature after a while.

Google maps directions displayed on Virtual Dash

Thanks - unfortunately, as you say, it doesn’t, it just says ‘route guidance unavailable’ - Maybe if I ever get to 1803… -

Unfortunately it doesn’t work for me either. I’m on 1668 as well using an iPhone 12 - If I select either of the ‘CarPlay’ options inside the Speedo I get the music track name rather than directions -

Great tip, I’ll have to try that for Apple Maps navigation -
Not sure if I’m reading correctly but I have a basic Nextbase and it has a usb on the camera and one on the base mount; the manual says the usb on the camera is only for usb transfer and to use the usb on the base for normal usage.
