It's more a case of how to get that download I am struggling with..if I get anywhere I will update...cheers

I feel pretty thick because I didn't really understand the last fix that was passed..my lad will he home soon and he might be able to offer his old dad sone help.theres no hope for me.

Tried cd this time...unit tells me to put swl cd in ..once in you can hear it whirring round like any cd would...I got nothing on my screen except the skoda splash screen...have tried to do soft reset and the unit does try to do something from within because its making noises..unless anyone has any further ideas seems like I might have to replace it. Cheers Carl

Thanks for input...unfortunately don't really understand it.sorry...

I saw someone attaching ctek to battery to keep charge ...will see how things go this time...car is at my business partners today so hopefully will have it tomorrow. Thanks for your help and will inform.how it goes

My lad has managed to burn one on a cd r Downside is lowest speed was 10 but will give it a go see what happens...are you able to tell me if its ignition on or off.Cheers

A link to the firmware was kindly sent to me (varoom)...downloaded it onto dvd r and not cd although some I have read use cd...then some say ignition key in but not on..some say dont put ignition in and then some say ignition on but don't start car...I decided to do ignition on..pressed the required 3 buttons and got the message to load swl...loaded and radio came straight on onto splash screen and you could hear the dvd whirring away...thats all it did and then kept rebooting...maybe I should try a download on cd as unit .might have not been able to read dvd..I gotno I structures coming up on the screen butleft it doing its stuff for a good 45 minutes.any further help would be appreciated..cheers Carl

Again thanks for help...never had any issues with radios in all.my cars...where do I find the software that pab567 mentions to download.Carl

I really appreciate your help.i read somewhere that one of the units didn't have dab which I am not overly concerned about..its more the sat nav that's important for my business partner...I am more of a google maps person but sat nav does come in handy from time to time.

I don't have a menu key on my unit...nearest I have is a set up key bit I think you are right....the unit loops but none if the keys when pressed do anything.. My unit model ends in a N....some end in A or C but look the same apart from one extra wire fitment on the back...I assume one of the others would work....I think possibly the N is to do with dab.

Thanks for the reply...I did reply earlier but for some reason it never sent..how do I go about loading firmware...having read some stuff I still have no idea . Cheers Carl

So sorry to bring this up as looking through the Web its mentioned a few times...my columbus radio 3to o35 686n started to just show the splash screen awhile ago...did a soft reset and that seemed to sort for a while.then when radio was on one day couldn't turn the volume down...am.in the funeral business so was a tad embarrassing. Unit now just loops constantly and only noise is from reverse beeper.i don't really want to go aftermarket because I quite like the unit..i have a 2012 vrs with no issues.there are a couple on ebay but they don't have N on serial number...does anyone on the forum have any pointers where I might get it repaired..if in fact it will. Car in question is a Skoda superb 11 on a 15 plate. Many Thanks Carl

Squabs removed tonight...many thanks for your input and advice...I have that extra space I needed.Carl

Many thanks for your reply I should have looked harder..car is parked at a different address but will take a look when car back with me.cheers

Hi..just purchased a metallic onyx black superb elegance estate 2015 with 62000 miles...I am.just wondering if anyone has removed the rear squabs thus allowing a flat load space ...the squabs obviously have the fancy arm jobbies that lift the seat out but the arms don't appear to want to come out of the fixings..when the squabs are up against the front seats they take up a good 6 inches which I could do with been able to use..any help would be grateful. My daily is an Octavia vrs which has given 5 years of trouble free motoring ...I cannot believe the space in the superb and so far am.very impressed with it.
