Hi I have the Skoda app on my iPhone.. And it certainly seem to have its flaws (as well as Skodas infotainment system..what is it with Skoda and software?) Every time I want to get into the app I am logged out so I must log in again..why?? When I get into the app its never synced recently.. Most often it states the car is unlocked...which it is not... To start the diesel warming system is basically not possible (it has worked once..) The app states its not allowed to access the car very often and if I go out to the car and check in the infotainment system it clearly states that it allows for remote access...IE the app is wrong... And lots of stuff like that...I assume more people have issues with this app? Now its for free the first year but with such a bad function there's no way Im gonna pay to extend it...It work so bad that I simply don't use it... Whats your experiences?

im on a iPhone 8 with IOS 14.3 so the latest one. Maybe its the Spotify app on Apple Carplay then.. Oh havent had that happen to my Waze yet but... I also notice how slow MIB 3 is compared to MIB 2...Did they not test the software before putting it in cars.. Since Im a System Architect its rather strange to me to se a software 2021 that doesnt work better then its predesessor.

Hi Ive had my Kodiaq 2021 since 28th of December. I did the latest system update to the MIB 3 system which don't seem to have done anything really. Anyway I have the Columbus nav + MIB 3 plattform on infotainment. And to be really really nice I think it could use some TLC from some friendly programmer.. I use Apple CarPlay with iPhone 8..And what I see is that if I play music on Spotify it hangs the system as soon as I do anything else in the menus..like change color on ambient lightning....or change the bass in the equaliser..anything.. And then I need to reboot... If I only play music then after a while reboot needed as well... Sometimes the sound is totally dead and nothing can be done about it other then shutting of the car and wait for an hour or so.. I had a Tiguan before with MIB 2 and there was never any issues....so did VW fire all good system developers and kept the ones no one else wanted..or dud they cut the budget for that department or.. I have seen many commenting on the flaws of mib 3 and I can only agree... I don't understand how a company like VW can release a product that has so many flaws...didnt they test it at all? I really love my Skoda Kodiaq so far on all points except this...If this don't get better real soon then this was my first and my last Skoda and probably vw product ever..Since I really want a car where I can rely on that the stereo actually is capable of playing music when I want to hear it and not when it feels like it.. Take Care all

Hi when I started my car a message appeared automatically on the screen that there is a system update available..with a button "update" and disclaimer that the car must be stationary when updating.

Hi I just got a system update on my 2021 Kodiaq with mib 3 and Columbus Does anyone know what the system update did and contained?? It went really fast to download.. It only stated that it was error fixes and minor functions which doesn't say much..Anyone that know more?

wow...insane how sensitive these systems are nowadays..pretty vulnerable to say the least...perhaps the old stereosystems of 90s where better in this sense...even though they of course lacked and had no streaming and fourth...oh well...

Hi Filip Unfortunately it sound exactly like my problem...even if it only happened once so far..But I have not been driving much since last so... And no smar****ch here either... However even if I would have a smar****ch...really?? I mean if the car stereosystem can not handle that a passenger or driver have a smar****ch then it should be back to the drawing board I think..

Hi and thanks for the tip. I have Apple Car Play but I guess one can assume its about the same... My stereo did play sound as usual morning the next day..very strange.... So I guess something in the car was reset during more hours time - but what?? Actually when it was silent..removing the apple car play clicking on the "Skoda" app and dissconnect the phone was one of the things I tried-without results... And if it was due to the phone I guess that should have done the trick but..no.. And the radio and everything was silent so.. The reseller did not have any answer on this at all either... So now Im just hoping for it never to happen again I guess... best regards Micael

Hi all and thanks for feedback and tips... Strangely enough today this morning the stereo system worked again like nothing have happened?? So was something reset during the night... The only thing I can come to think of is if there was a system update of some kind yesterday... But I actually did look for that in the settings yesterday and could not see anything..(since the mib 3 have automatic updates of maps and systems according to the manual and it also states that the columbus should not be used when updating) As answer to the question on navigation and phone...none of that had audio either yesterday...now it works as it should... I guess I need wait and see where this goes...I would not like it to go silent on a long trip for sure.. I have emailed the reseller so I hope he might have a guess..Then again the Columbus MIB 3 seem rather new so perhaps hoping for to much.. Anyway thanks and take care

No sorry that did not help at all...The system rebooted when doing as you say..but the system is still silent...Thanks for the tip..

Hi Yes I have the Canton system... Where would I find the fuse for the amplifier?? Actually I haven't had issues with fuses for some 18 years with other new cars so that never even crossed my mind... But the system display shows up and i can see radio channel settings and such...would that not be the same fuse as the amplifier then? thanks for the tip

Hi This afternoon when I was to go home and started the Kodiaq there was absolutely no sound coming from the radio or apple car play or anything within the infotainment.. Even on full volume nothing... I have tried rebooting the columbus system about 10 times without any improvement at all... Tried to restart the car..nothing.. I have rechecked all settings so nothing there could keep the system silent (then again it worked fine when I parked the car and nothing was changed... So Im a bit without clue... Anyone that have experienced this or have any good tip on what to do?? It is a new Kodiaq 2021.. Best regards Micael

yes this is what i will try...thanks

Ok..actually it seems as an account was automatically created for me..so I could get logged in on my laptop using waze on the iPhone..again thanks so much

Ok thanks..as stated I will try Waze out...By the way is one supposed to create an account for it as well or just download and use?
