I still havent got my Infotainment system CPUs replaced for a few thousand pounds . The unit was always unreliable since I took delivery of the car , as so many other posts have stated and I worry if I did replace it a failure would reoccur . I wouldn't buy another Skoda without extended warranty to cover issues such as those reported . Seems like the infotainment systems are a knows problem with the brand . I was offered £500 as a discount for the work but so far have decided not to bother with the replacement

My Skoda is 2020 and I didnt have an extended warranty. The system therefore wasnt covered by warranty . The Infotainment system has regularly shown a mode where it wont communicate with the SIM or external systems , since I bought the car three years ago and the system regularly went into a non operating mode since I bought it . it regularly happened on a journey longer than 100 miles. In hindsight I should have flagged it as a warranty issue sooner.

My Infotainment system is still permanently locked and always trying to connect to the registered users . I am planning to spend £1300 to replace the 2 units which apparently may be the failure.

It was in for another recall they announced when I arrived but not sure which recall. The main issue is the unreliable Infotainment system , which has constantly failed when trying to do a software update (or so I believe).

The one issue with Skoda cars I have is the infotainment system. I have a 2020 Karoq rather than a Kodiak

The Skoda Karoq 2020 has been a very good car except for the Infotainment system. I am hoping with your industry knowledge you may have some suggestions , other than what Skoda are asking me to do There seem to be regular issues with the Skoda infotainment system. I believe the control units rely on a sim card for regular updates , which often mean the system becomes Un operational for 24 hours or longer. My theory is since we don't have a mobile signal here it does the updates when we drive to the South East., when it regularly resets On the last trip to maidenhead the system failed again whilst doing an update . I thought I had disabled updates unless asked but it still had an issue. This time the system hasn't reset. I took it to the Skoda main dealer who also weren't able to get the system to reset. Seems like they are unable to wipe the software and try reloading but I was still charged £225 for them to try . There are apparently two control units the MIB and the SOS and they don't know which is the problem Skoda have quoted £225 labour plus £1303 to replace the two units and cant even guarantee this will solve the issue. The proposed solution is to spend the £1,528 , hope that provides a solution and then pay £38 a month for a service plan that would cover future failure. The technician acknowledged it is a wide problem with Skoda cars . The VW units are apparently easier to reset and reprogramme than Skoda . I think I understood they can only try to reset Skoda systems using an SD card . I would welcome your suggestions.
