Hiya!! I've tried to find help on line before asking for help. My 2017 Kodiaq has stopped supporting Android Auto. I can't imagine I'm alone. I've got a 3 week wait for an appointment at Skoda, so i wanted to update the system myself. I've been through MIB-Helper but i can't find anything that matches. Can anyone direct me to a download of the latest software, or any version that will work Android Auto????? I have my fat formatted usb stick ready to go, and the system searches for an update which it says is an error can't find (assuming OTA) and nothing on the stick yet. Photo of the current system attached. Many thanks in advance.

Yeah. Every time. Same place. They wear evenly across the whole width too. It's got to just be that I drive too fast for a Kodiaq. Never had this issue before, so it's not my driving in general. But the Kodiaq is always struggling for grip at the front end, when pulling off up hill, when pulling off on full lock, if it's wet. Any of these will cause the tyres to scrabble a bit. Not enough for the traction light to come on, I'm not a lunatic, but it just can't seem to pull away normally when on a hill, on full lock, or in the wet. Between that and my generally faster than average driving style I'm just chewing through tyres in a way other cars didn't.

Lanzarote yes Never had unexpected tyre wear before, so is a Kodiaq thing. The caliper, you're right. It wasn't stuck on like I said in the post, it was stuck, and on, but no so much that I could feel it when driving or parking. Couldn't feel anything. Then one day heard the familiar scratching sound of worn out brake pads and found it quick enough. Had to prise them apart and put grips on the pipe so it couldn't put that brake on. Didn't affect the electronic brake at all. Don't know why. Maybe someone will say that's rubbish, but I did about 200km with that caliper locked off and the pads never made contact with the pads, but the hold function worked perfectly. I never use the handbrake as it's a DSG.

2017 1.4, had new discs at 70k km (about 46k miles) put cheap ones on (by necesity not desire) and wow do I regret it to this day. Within a few thousand miles they warped and now they're tinged black from overheating. Only replace with good quality discs. My rear left caliper stuck on until the pads were down to metal, took to dealer under warranty. After a fight still ended up paying for 2 new rear discs and pads. Rip off. And don't get me started on tyres. Every 15k miles have to replace the front tyres, had Riken, had cheaper, had Michelin twice. No difference in longevity. And now the water pump is leaking. And yet. Will still buy another Kodiaq when the time comes. Lovely car despite all this. Thanks for reading.
