In my old Fabia I used to have a ton of music-files on an SD-card, permanently mounted in the SD-card reader that was hidden away in the glove compartment. Since that is not an option in the Octavia 4, I have copied my music files to an USB-stick, and put that into one of the two USB-C ports. However, I can't seem to get the mediaplayer in the infotainment system to work with the stick. In the beginning, after some lengthy fiddling, I did manage to play some tracks. But the next time I tried, it would only show the tracks, not play them. The files are flac and mp3, both of which should be OK according to the manual. I've tried to reformat the stick, the first time in exFAT, the second time in NTFS - both of which should also be OK according to the manual. The first didn't help, the other just made matters worse, as the whole infotainment-system now reboots every time I try to access the media-files..... It could of cause be a faulty stick - but it is completely readable from two different PC's and even when plugged into my Android phone. Anyway, I shall get hold in another USB-C stick to try out. But meanwhile, I would like to hear: What are your experiences with playing media-files on the infotainment system?

I have had mu Octavia Combi iV+ for just under a week now, and have had a change to drive it in the city, small roads in the countryside and a longer trip on the motorway. It's my 3rd Skoda, and after having been completely content with the two before, I have to say, that I have quite mixed feelings about this one. As a car, I think it performs very well. The hybrid system functions just as it is supposed to, the DSG-gearbox works very smooth, it handles well in general and have all the power needed. The interior is nice and comfortable. But the infotainment system is a shamble. If it worked flawlessly it would have been quite OK. But it doesn't. In the way of stability it resembles a cheap chinese toy - not a 45.000€ car. Anyway - since the car in itself is very good, I shall stick with it for now, and hope that updates will take care of the software issues.....

Just to be sure, I downloaded the manual before purchase. I says wireless AA is there - with no exceptions 😠

I have a component number ending on B, and software version 1668 - and wireless AA is not working, even with a phone running Android 11 and capable of 5ghz wifi. And yes, I have to say I feel a bit screwed :-(
