@roottoot The car has been back to the dealership on four separate occasions following the original 'fix' to the 12 volt battery issue last October. The most recent of which was just six weeks ago.

Experienced my forth 12v battery failure, in ten months of ownership, this past weekend. Needless to say I have contacted VWFS to start the rejection process.

As far as I can tell you have to send your events from the MySkoda app to the car manually. These are the steps I've used: Open the app, expand the Trip Planner tile. Swipe up from the bottom of the screen to view upcoming calendar events. Tap an event. Two options then appear at the bottom of the screen. 'Nearby' and 'Show Route'. Tap 'Show Route'. Two further options appear at the bottom of the screen. 'Navigate' and 'Send To Vehicle'. Hope this helps.

I collected my VRS iV from the dealership earlier in the week, after a new control module was fitted. Thankfully no errors, warnings or flat batteries to report of since. Keeping my fingers crossed this has resolved my issues.

Having very similar issues with my Octavia VRS IV, which I took ownership of from Trust Skoda Stourbridge at the end of July. Had an amber warning light on the dash due to 'Vehicle Lighting' and 'Adaptive Frontlight System' at the beginning of September. Which meant I was driving with the head and tail lights on permanently for almost three weeks. When I was finally able to get the car in at the dealer (due to lack of curtesy car availability at Trust Stourbridge) they swapped out lighting control switch with a doner vehicle, the warning lights cleared. Swapped back with my original switch, still no warning lights. 👍 A software update was also completed during the same visit. Dealer has ordered a new light control switch in any case, currently awaiting delivery. This past Friday the car was connected to the 3pin HV charging cable after getting back from work, HV charge at roughly 30%. I use the 'Departure Planner' within the MySkoda app to schedule overnight charging. Leaving the car at home, I went out for the evening. On my return, at roughly 23:45, I could hear that the radiator cooling fan was spinning! The car was locked, the HV charging indicator was not illuminated, nothing displayed on the dashboard. Unlocked the car, fan still audibly spinning. Turned on the ignition, turned off the ignition, fan audibly spinning. Switched power off at the socket supplying HV charging cable, fan stopped a few seconds later?!? The car remained parked up at home during Saturday whist I went out. On my return I had a visit from the neighbor to let me know my car alarm had gone off a number of times during the afternoon. Unlocked the car, switched on ignition. The dashboard displayed numerous error messages and warning lights. Exited the car, pressed 'lock' on the drivers door handle, nothing happened. Pressed the lock button on the key fob, nothing happened. Back in the car, ignition button pressed, nothing happened. The 12 volt battery was completely dead. Visit from Skoda assist on Sunday morning, connected a 12 volt charger and shortly after the car was back to life. Hooked up to diagnostics and the results displayed a number of warnings and errors. I was told that the errors pointed to an issue with charging of the HV battery. But the engineer was not HV certified and therefore nothing further he could do, other than pass on diagnostics outcome to a dealer and recommend I get the car booked in ASAP. The car is now with Trust Skoda Wolverhampton. I'm told a replacement vehicle control module will be fitted later this week. 🤞
