Camera POI.s
On my Columbus 2.5 it's easy via SD card and Settings > Manage memory > Update MyPOIs (SD/USB). I can't speak for anything else.

Kodiaq 2017 - Strange 9 errors from nowhere
Mine gave all the errors as soon as I touched the Start button. Replacing an ABS sensor fixed everything.

Kodiaq 2017 - Strange 9 errors from nowhere
As I mentioned I currently have the whole cascade of faults (stability control, parking assist, headlight range, hill-hold assist, TPMS and maybe more). Dealer just called to confirm it's an ABS / wheel sensor fault. Glad I have the extended service + warranty package

Kodiaq 2017 - Strange 9 errors from nowhere
Is it right to say: 1) It's legal to drive the car in spite of the warnings 2) It would fail an MOT (particularly for the brake / ESC ones).

Kodiaq 2017 - Strange 9 errors from nowhere
See my post in the "SOS" forum. I had the same thing a few days ago - dash like a Christmas tree and loads of unrelated errors (TPS, ACC, stability control, parking assist and more). If you search on "U112300" one possible cause is low battery in the key fob, and there had been a couple of warnings for that but they'd stopped a few days before.

SOS error call workshop
PS ... I searched on one of the error codes (U112300) the OBD found, and Google AI says one of the possible causes is "Low Battery/Key Fob: A weak 12V battery or dead key fob battery can cause communication errors". Now I did get a couple of "low fob battery" warnings last week but they had stopped. I'll change it anyway. I had no idea it could cause multiple system errors while you were driving (if in fact Google is right). PPS Confirmation here.

SOS error call workshop
Well this is weird. I had a spurious "SOS" error several years ago which I cleared and ignored. Today, at pretty much the same place (A5 westbound approaching Shrewsbury) I suddenly had multiple warnings - stability control, parking assist, headlights, ABS, hill-hold, tyre pressure and maybe more. Car drove normally otherwise. I got home OK and have cleared the faults with an OBDEleven.

Service Plan - All in ... good value?
I didn't check but as the Dealer mentioned it I thought a change was "advised". The old one was quite dirty so I'm glad I did so myself for a few £ and two minute's work. You'd think the "other" service should at least include an inspection of the air filter and a quick blast with an air-line. They don't even wash the car any more. I'll take to the main dealer for its next MOT (while the extended warranty is still in force) but after that, if I keep it, I'll use a local independent.

Service Plan - All in ... good value?
As it says, 2 services, 1 air filter. This was the second service and it wasn't included.
-
Service Plan - All in ... good value?
I was surprised and a bit annoyed that the all-in service plan didn't include the air filter ("additional chargeable option") so decided I'd do it myself. Part about £7 on Ebay and it can surely only be a two minute job... Well it was - until the Torx bit fell out of its holder after tightening the last screw, and is somewhere on the plastic shield at the bottom of the engine bay. Spent ages trying to spot it but gave up.

Ownership review - problems in 3 years of ownership
My car is similar to the op (2019 2.0 TDi 190 4wd Scout). No problems whatsoever.

Request for Firmware Update – Columbus Infotainment System (Škoda Kodiaq)
I don't leave the engine running for a map update. Just ignition on and turn A/C & fan off to save battery. Someone suggested opening/closing the driver's door every 15 minutes or so to keep "the system" awake, which I do, but I'm not sure it's necessary. I really wish you could update by country, which would be a lot quicker.

Apple Car Play Columbus update
I bought a cheap AliExpress dongle which works fine for wireless Android Auto. But then I found - particularly with Waze - that my phone got quite warm in my pocket and it drained the battery quite quickly. So I put the phone in the centre console with a USB lead to charge it, and might as well have run wired in the first place.

Auto Hold + Parking Brake Dash Warning
Low battery voltage can cause all kinds of weird, temporary (and seemingly unrelated) faults. Last winter I had a traction control error and the horn wouldn't work. "Turning it off and on again" after a few miles, and both were fine.

Oil service indication, time or mileage ? reset ?
Lots of videos on Youtube - just search for "skoda reset service". For some reason most hits are for the Octavia but it's exactly the same for the Kodiaq.
-
Oil service indication, time or mileage ? reset ?
How do you reset your trip odometer?
-
Oil service indication, time or mileage ? reset ?
I thought you could simply get rid of the oil service warning by holding down the "00 / SET" button while turning on the ignition.

2019 Kodiaq Scout - Cruise Control intermittently unavailable
Exactly the same for me during the February cold spell. But presumably it's battery charge/voltage on startup rather than temperature. I guess it says something about your driving whether you first notice it's the horn not working or cruise control.
-
Eco (cruising) - how does that really work ?
Same here. As mentioned, DSG 4x4 diesel 190. Car in "normal" driving mode (ie not eco); gear indicator changes to "D" and ECO indicator comes on.
-
Eco (cruising) - how does that really work ?
Googling suggests it puts the DSG gearbox into neutral so the car coasts. Presumably that means it won't happen with a manual gearbox. No idea if it's engine-dependent - I have the 190 diesel and ECO flashes up occasionally.

2021 Kodiaq RS - Towbar
Maybe it's the other way round - if the VIN plate doesn't show a towing weight you definitely don't have the prep package, and some people have claimed it's illegal to fit a towball in that case, even if it's just for a bike rack.
-
2021 Kodiaq RS - Towbar
I thought I'd read (probably here) that if the VIN plate on the door pillar shows a towing weight then the car has the towbar prep option. If it doesn't, some have claimed it's illegal to fit a towbar (UK / EU).

Brake pads replaced after 50k - reasonable distance ?
I don't have ACC, and probably wouldn't use it if I did.
