After suffering system reboots for 3-4 weeks and complaining to dealer, they updated software from 1896 to 1941 two days ago. Seemed to take them a few hours but no issues yet - still early days. Skoda Octavia vRS iV estate January 2021 15k miles.

Bit annoying tbh especially if trying to get fresh air to the face. Not a dealbreaker. Am 15 months in and used to it.

Had left this for a while and checked recently and seats and steering wheel climate control settings all working fine. Must have been an OTA software update as I didn’t have to hard reset.

I’m out and about for a few weeks now will try the hard reset and let you know how it goes.

Raised this with my dealer and physically demonstrated the issue when in for a recent 10k service. They hadn’t heard of this. When collecting later said it had been fixed with software update to 1896. Checked next day and still happening. Not spoken to dealer again but will raise it again.

I’ve noticed exactly the same thing recently and haven’t figured out why the toggle for heated steering wheel keeps defaulting to off. Weather hasn’t been cold enough to check if wheel actually comes on.

Maybe time travel is the way forward 🤔

Good luck @almarote. Hoping for 2022 for you. Worth waiting for 👍

I’ve not posted on this topic for a while but had one previous instance of a flat 12V battery and being locked out despite the Hybrid battery being fully charged (and unplugged). I have since always left the main charging cable plugged in, sometimes for days, with no further problems. I also had many instances of rear red side lights coming on and going off, both with charging cable connected and also not connected. I’ve since sold that car and a week ago picked up my new 22MY vRS iV estate. No issues at all with software, batteries or lights but very early days. Fingers crossed.

Collected my VRS iV estate/combi this evening ordered end of July in UK. Looks great in Race Blue at night but not had chance to get a proper look or drive yet. Options fitted are DCC, Canton, blind spot/side assist, rear camera, wireless charging, front and rear winter pack with tri-zone climate, virtual pedal. Picture taken in near freezing conditions and car starting to ice over. Good luck to forum members on getting their cars quickly. Worth the wait.

Update: Arranged collection of vRS iV estate for Monday. Dealer has said all ordered options fitted, waiting to see for myself

Dealer advised on Friday that my car is now in the UK (code 40). So awaiting transportation to dealer and PDI. 1-2 weeks maybe?

Close to start of August. Order placed 27 July, order confirmed by Skoda 18 August. No updates from dealer (no build date info) until 17 December when told that car is built and recently arrived in Germany awaiting ship. Will be chasing again this week as no further update since. Hope your order is processed and car at least in production.

If it helps my dealer is honouring the 0% finance deal from July. Likewise, awaiting shipping from Emden or possible update that car is now in the UK.

Nice one! Mine was ordered at same time and was told it was at Emden awaiting shipping 2 weeks ago so hopefully here soon.
