klarky

hi, just downloaded this and paid the 4.95 euros for more space to download all the cameras.it works well.i use pocketgpsworld too. i also use an online file converter that converts files to gpx. https://anyconv.com/csv-converter/ README_Install sat nav cameras.pdf

ah,didnt realise that.my nissan xtrail was the same,update map on card was £140.rip off

hi, for some reason kodiaqs(columbus system) can use almost any sd card(32g) to download update map and use in their cars,unfortunately its not the same for some other models with the amundsen system.there's obviously a hidden file embedded within the card to stop piracy.i have a kodiaq and its so easy to update,why have skoda done this only they can answer.

Yes I use a sandisk 32gb

Hi, I always re format the SDcard deleting everything.you can use any sd card,it does not have to be a skoda sd card,a good quality one is advised.dowload map from portal onto your hard drive,when completed unzip it straight onto your sd card.insert into sd slot in car,and either update the system as you have to with Columbus,or use straight from sd card as amundsen does

go to the update portal,it tells you how to do it there.once youve downloaded it,unzip it to your sd card on your laptop or computer.put it into sd card slot in car, then according to the portal it should work immediately,as it runs off the sd card http://updateportal.skoda-auto.com/en-GB

yes i had skoda assist,the car is only 19 months old with 13000 mls on.didnt think they would accomadate the caravan so i phoned green flag.thing is with green flag, they get you their and bring you back,so i still keep membership up.

hi, thanks for all the replies.they did the car the same day(must have rattled them lol),according to the mechanic on the car it was an 'airlock'.had the car few days now and all seems ok.hopefully it will nor re-occur,i wont hold my breath.towing a caravan ,its not the best thing to happen,and its always going to play on my mind.at least i know how to deal with it now its happened.

hi. had the caravan on the back,skoda assist will not carry the van.skoda garage were no great help,no car available and were going to leave it 3days before they even looked at it,as you can imagine the **** hit the fan...and they looked at it immediately

hi, anyone else had a overheating problem with their kodiaq.mine came up overheating check fluid...looked at the gauge and it was in the red.fluid coming out of expansion tank.topped it up,let it stand for 20 mins.started it up and gauge stood at 90.set off and within 200 yds it did it again.called out green flag,waited 2hrs,after several tests and dignostics he said it was a fan fault(he tried to get it to run but couldnt)i had already suspected the fan.,fan not coming in on mormal running mode,but fan working on ac mode.said i could drive it with ac on full and it would be ok.drove 165 mls like that and it was fine. took it back next day to skoda,after a bit of persuasion the said they would priorotise it and left it with them.4 hours later they said it looked like an air lock problem(skodas are having these problems ive since been told??).i said what about the fan....ok they said..no i said,i was there...it did not work...well its working fine nowpick it tomorrow,,,we'll see.

get this far,copied the file to the folder (windows) 0n c drive....then you say ""RUN A COMMAND PROMP".....as in "run" type in cd\ then enter......it comes up cannot find cd ???? can you elaborate 7. Download the poifix.py file created by Flumpie (above). Copy to C:\windows folder. 8. Run a command prompt on your computer. 9. Navigate to the windows folder by typing cd \ Hit the enter key then cd windows Hit the enter key 10. You should be at a prompt like this 11. Noting that e: drive is my SD card drive with the files on it: At the c:\windows> prompt type poifix.py e:\PersonalPOI\MIB2\MIB2high If successful you should see a screen similar to below. 12. You now have usable files to upload to your Columbus per Rainmakers instructions on page 1 of this thread. Thank you once again to Rainmaker, Flumpie, Hozz and Rifleman and anybody else who has contributed.

hi, having noticed the volkswagen sat nav companion is broken,is there any other way/app that can input poi's and speed cameras

hi, the system will ONLY DISPLAY pois that have been originally imported into the system from skoda...UNLESS YOU IMPORT YOUR OWN pois with the guide on this forum.there will be an additional box pops up ''my pois''you then will have the opportunity to tick them to show on the map,you may well have to UNTICK other catagories to be able to tick yours as the system only allows you to highlight 10 catagories at a time. there is another way,if you connect your phone to the system you can use an app called ''WAZE'',which you can download onto your phone and open it up on the infontainment system https://waze.en.uptodown.com/android

hi only a newbie myself,but the system as far as i can see will only show 10 catagories of poi's at any one time on the map.if you have ten ticked you will have to untick ones you dont want to be able to tick the ones you want to show up....lol

hi jim, it really is very simple,just remember at the end, to substitute the metainfo text file created by the programme,for the one you download at the end of the guide.once downloaded,put it in a folder so you can copy and paste onto the usb,sd card you use to put the pois on your system,that way its always there.

hi rainmaker yes its a bit of a bummer,but as long as youre not putting a large amount on its tolerable lol.

hi rainmaker well done mate,great guide,and it definately works,its a bit long winded to set up,but worth the while.and to anyone else who wants to set up speed cameras on there system,this guide is spot on and really easy to complete. there is a flaw though....lol.....after having downloaded the speed camera files onto the sytem,i decided to add some more Pois.i downloaded the caravan club site files and went through the same process as the guide and they were configured exactly the same,spot on i thought. i inserted the sd card,it picked them up and installed them,brilliant i thought.....looked for them on the system,ticked them ....oops...wheres the speed cameras?????. beware,if you install any other pois after installing the first set,the second set overwrite the first set,therefore deleting them.only way round this looks like configuring everything together in one batch...ie cameras caravan,caravanand camping etc etc,which can be done as i've tried it and it works. looks like i'll have to update the cameras only...or...go through the process with everything again ,is there anyway round this problem?????

hi, have been through this,bought a 2.0ltr kodiaq 7 seat 150 tdi manual out of the showroom,i originally was looking for a 5 seat manual but none available in silver at the time.all my homework on the car was on the 5 seater,as i didn't want a 7 seater(until i actually looked at it at the dealership, liked the boot space).test drove it,as well as an automatic 190 just for the hell of it lol.paid deposit on it ,and was waiting 3 days to collect it.having asked the salesman about towing with the car,as i knew the 5 seat was ok,i thought i'd ask about the 7 seat just to make sure weights etc were similar to the 5 seat manual.he went away to another colleague,came back with figures and assured me it was ok. on asking if they could fit the towbar,he again went away,came back and said they could not actually fit the towbar,but knew a company that did,same one as i always go to so again thought all was ok.as everything was sorted,left the dealership to go home.nothing was ever mentioned about the 7 seat manuals been unable to tow as they were not homolagated for towing(not type approved) the tow bar scenario baffled me,why could they not fit it????.i soon found out why,as it niggled me and on looking at the 7 seat manual versions on all models ,was absolutely numb.phoned the dealership,just caught the manager on way out and explained to him my dilemna....he said he would look into it in the morning,to which i replied i would be there first thing.got there ,everything was sorted,they agreed it had been mis-sold and duly tore up the contract,i ended up buying the 7 seat auto 190 sel. having had a good conversation with the manager,he had found out that skoda had actually scored a massive home goal with these models,it actually had nothing to do with the cars innability to tow....the paperwork for type approval somehow did not go through for these cars,i would imagine they have lost millions and somewhere down the line heads would roll.

hi, i ordered a kodiaq seL silver with metallic paint,no extras and there was a one ready to ship....seemingly waiting for a slot on ship.said it would be about 2 weeks,so hopefully as its not been built at the factory i may get it quick.....i won't hold my breath lol

Cheers

hi, new to this forum,and hoping to find out a lot more about the kodiaq i've just ordered
