Hi, I bought the yeti 2nd hand just before lockdown and all was fine. Last week (on the first couple of miles of a 630 miles journey - typical) the infotainment head unit started playing up. To start with lots of random touchscreen virtual buttons pressed with physical fingers nowhere near the unit (it kept ringing one person whose details were right in the middle of the screen); the physical buttons around the edge stopped responding and judging by the green outline it thought someone had their finger permanently on a part of the screen. It has now settled down so everything works apart from the far left hand 'column' of the touchscreen (1/4 of the screen in a vertical column on the far left hand side) which remains totally unresponsive. Which makes the whole thing virtually useless. I've rebooted it with engine off and on countless times. I've cleaned it carefully with window cleaners and let it evaporate I've left the car alone to think about what it's done We've had stern words Nothing has worked.....so I fear next stop is a trip to a Skoda garage which I can't see ending well (save a huge bill for a new head unit). Any other tips and trick to try first? I have no warranty left to fall back on. I was thinking about getting a can on compressed air and squirting it around under the bezel to see if there is anything lodged in ther but must admit I'm unsure of the tech used for the touch element - if I approach with my finger from the left it does not 'see' me coming - around the rest of the screen it responds before your finger touches the screen). Many thanks.
