0238 is super unstable, is anyone able to help me source RW files? I’ve been trying for over a year at this point.

Australia. We don't have Skoda Connect which I assume is why the Kamiq follows the RW software train. Funnily enough, my Octavia and Ateca both follow EU software trains. Is the Mega upload the RW variant?

Well I've got myself in some strife. I'm stuck on MOI_RW_SKMQB_R23802P. Like the EU version, MOI3_RW_SKMQB_P27801 contains three versions - 0238, 0268, and 0278. Well the update from 0156 to 0238 went fine. But now when I try to initiate an update, it just reboots back into red menu. I really don't want to get stuck on version 0238. Among other bugs, it puts 'pre-production hardware' across the screen while using Android Auto. I think the copy of MOI3_RW_SKMQB_P27801 I've got is missing some files. But that was hard enough to track down in the first place. The copy of MOI3_RW_SKMQB_P30800 suggests I could upgrade from 0268 if it can get it updated at least that far.

Is this display from a facelift Octavia or from an Enyaq?

I have still had zero luck trying to find the rest of the world copies of these files. No one seems to be able to help me. Worse still my local Skoda dealers diagnostic systems are off line for 8 weeks or more - even if they were willing to help me.

I think the parts are too expensive and too hard to find at this stage. Maybe in 12-18 months we'll see some Russians over at Drive2.ru attempt it or JLS MQB in Taiwan - they seem to be capable of retrofits other say are impossible or economically infeasible e.g. 360 camera and CANTON retrofits: Anyway, from what limited information I can find on MIB4, it's been described as basically MIB3.5 a kin to the MIB2 to MIB2.5 upgrade on the Mk3 Octavia. The software base for MIB4 on is largely the same as MIB3.

Some can source the updates for you. But ODIS access is expensive, so not a lot of independent do. I’d be looking for a VAG specialist if you going outside of the dealer network.

You should consider asking the dealer to update the climatic module. It is seperate from the infotainment system - I had to explain this on two occasions before the service team understood. You can find the details here:

Yes. We also only get one version of the infotainment system in Australia - the MIB3 MOI3. The low trims like the Octavia Style forgo the license required for navigation as a way of differentiating low spec from high spec. With the LG manufactured MOI3 units as used in the Octavia IV, Golf 8, Formentor, Leon (MQB Evo) etc... Australia uses the EU firmware i.e. MOI_EU_XXXXXX. However, older MQB based vehicles like the Superb, Kodiaq, Kamiq etc... using the Preh MOI3 have a seperate firmware/software train with RW or Rest of World i.e. MOI_RW_XXXXXX. Side note: the exception to this seems to be the Cupra Ateca (of which I also own). It seems LG make the MOI3 unit for this and so it uses the EU firmware/software train. That causes havoc with tools like MIB Helper as it suggests I try to install 1969 even though 0870 is the most current firmware.

in Australia at least, owners suffering from this issue have been able to claim it under warranty. They’ve upgraded the seat foam to prevent it happening. in Australia, you can get the Leon and Formentor in V, VZ, VZe, and VZx. The V, VZ, and VZx all use versions of the EA888. The V uses the down rated EA888 that was used in the Octavia Limited edition. Whereas the VZ uses the same tune as the Octavia RS and Golf GTI. The VZx uses the same tune as the Golf R but misses out on AWD. the VZ was dropped from the Formentor range. if I were in the position to wait I would. The updated media system is worth it alone. if you compare the current Leon VZ to the Octavia RS with Premium Pack. Then aside from the size difference, you give up the 360 Camera, passenger side electric seat, power tailgate. HUD, and Matrix LED headlights with the Leon. Plus the Octavia has the 13 speaker Canton system. Whereas the Beats system is only 9 speakers - the facelift Leon gets a 13 speaker Sennheiser system. I’m considering the trading out other car - a Focus wagon in on a Leon VZ. I love my Octavia and it was such a big upgrade over the Kamiq Monte Carlo it replaced.

Just checked the parts list and the facelift Octavia uses the same display as the current Enyaq with matching part numbers 5LA 919 606B: Based on that, I'm fairly confident the display will physically fit in the dashboard - as the dashboard hasn't changed from pre-facelift to facelift. That leads me to my next question, are displays (not the media unit box) component protected?

These are almost identical to the sills on my Kamiq. Which looked like new after two years. I believe they’re for the Octavia Sportline. You should consider upgrading to the ‘grey line’ premium floor mats. They’ve got a grey piped edge. the carpet quality is also better then the factory fit carpet. I helped my mum to source genuine Copper stitched ‘premium’ floor mats and cargo to match her Kamiq copper stitching.

I installed these when I got tired of fighting Skoda to replace my RS sills.

if you’ve the Canton sound system, you’ll have an amp/audio module under the passenger side seat. This will require an update of it own to have any affect. I had my system updated to fix audio dropouts. It’s also worth mentioning that some menus are produced by the multimedia unit and some by individual modules. Radio, Navigation, Smartlink, Voice Control, Settings = Multimedia Unit 5F Driver Assist settings, vehicle settings, ambient lighting = Central Electronics 09 (but also relies on modules like Driver Assistance A5 to be coded correctly to display certain menu items) Climate Control = Climatetronic Module 08 The climate menu is probably the best example of how updates to the multimedia module have no effect. Despite Skoda upgrading me from 1896 to 1941, then 1949 to 1969 myself. It had no affect on the climate menu and I continued to have sync memory issues etc… However, once they upgraded my climatronic module (there is a whole thread on this) it was fixed. The car would remember the Sync state and the menu responded a lot quicker - similar to the sped increase going from 1896 to 1941. if you look at videos for the Octavia facelift, you’ll see many of the menus are identical despite the new MIB4 infotainment (really a reskin of MIB3 or MIB3.5). That’s because the underlying modules would have similar if not the same software versions as our pre-facelift vehicles despite a whole new multimedia unit.

Looking at the spec sheet, the NZ model is identically specced to Australian delivered models. That means that if you didn't specify the 'RS plus pack' (premium pack in Australia) with the 'Split leather ergonomic comfort seat' then you get those all fabric seats. I'll admit the way they worded the spec sheet - 'RS Sports comfort seats with fabric/alcantara upholstery' makes it sound like they include Alcantara on the seats, but it is limited to the door cards and dashboard - has been that way since 2021 when the Mk4 Octavia launched. For clarity they should have listed the options in the full spec list and used an 'O' or 'P' to mark items that are optional or part of a package.
