So bad, oh well will have to make do without I guess

All, I've tried all of this and I get a "please insert valid media" when I put the SD card in. It's not a Skoda proprietary card (but surely shouldn't have to be?), maybe I've got the formatting wrong? Any advice gratefully received.

Just dowloading the files now (although the first one could take a while as MEGA set quotas). The bit I'm not sure about is:4. Check/configure FEE BASED TRAFFIC INFO is set to 1023 using VCDS/OBD11. I don't have access to VCSD/OBD11 so guess I'm still screwed?

Ok so I need to ask (for those of us that don’t get the technical talk). What do I need to do to sort my Amundsen unit (assuming that’s what it is as it take map data from the sad card)?

Ok for those of us who have zero clue what some of the techie answers are can you break it down into layman’s terms

Anything that relies on Trafficmaster for RDS-TMC

My unit can use Carplay no issues and no licencing (just works). In other news I spoke to Skoda Customer Services today, the chap was nice but clueless as there's NOTHING on their system about any issues, so does make me wonder if ANY of the calls we've made are actually being logged?

Err isn’t the point that we CANT use the inbuilt sat nav because of this specific issue (or rather we can but won’t be able to route around hold ups)? This that answer has fallen short of the mark

And in the meantime, any Skoda dealers selling used cars affected by this are passing on vehicles with a known fauls. If they fail to inform buyers then there's a whole different set of implications.

Thing is it’ll be affecting units that are much newer than this and will still be for sale on Skoda forecourts. Wonder where they stand if they don’t point it out to potential buyers?

The matter of charging an interesting one and may well spawn a separate thread when it comes to it. To my mind, this is an issue created by Skoda (or VAG) themselves and should therefore not be a cost passed on to the customer base. It may mean a call to Trading Standards when the time comes

It's interesting to note that this message hasn't filtered down to dealership level yet. I just spoke to my local Skoda dealer (who I have to say have been very good and accepted that a diagnostic would be pointless), and they've checked on their internal bulletins and there's nothing. But, it does appear to be a step in the right direction.

@STV16L were you receiving those channels via DAB or FM? Worth noting that RDS-TMC works off an FM signal

not quite true, INRIX still transmit on FM.

Yep, from Skoda UK's Facebook channel, not great is it?
