I took a heap of videos from both inside and outside the car whilst locked showing the red flashy light in the door showing it was locked and showing the screen cycling on and off. As a by product of wireless AA, was also playing music. The videos and the explanation that it was 10 times worse when hot + advising what others on the forum had gotten done (swapped screens) seemed to do the trick nice and easy to get skoda to agree to swap the screen. Spoke to the dealer at length who advised that 1 guy at the dealer is on his 3rd screen swap so possible there's a bunch of crap screens prone to going on Fritz when the temp goes above 20 degrees. I won't be waiting for the 3rd screen. Have been back 4 times now for the same issue so will be pushing for a buyback. Pretty stupid to have a car whose electronics can't cope with a 20 degree day. We get into the 40's here....

Had to get a new screen to fix mine. It's winter in aus atm so far so good but haven't had hot weather to test it properly since the fix. Mine was killing the battery so dealer wouldn't release the car until it was fixed. Skoda were great and easy to deal with in organising a loan car though which was a bonus. Big thumbs up for Kevin Dennis who diagnosed and fixed with the minimum of fuss. Big comparison to another dealer who couldn't even be bothered to update the software which they were saying would fix it (said they did but car hadnt been updated since being built despite being back 3 times to the dealer for the same issue). All down to getting a great dealer... Good luck with yours!

I'm interested in this too. Howd you get on?

That's exactly what's been happening to mine since I bought the car. Mainly when hot. Tried all the software upgrades but didn't fix it. Skoda have swapped the screen and have said this will fix it. Theyve tested it and apparently works. Couple of people on here have had the same fix but whether or not it's worked will remain to be seen on the next hot day. I guess based on this that I'll know in 6 months.. Fingers crossed Just be careful too as mine was a pretty big parasitic drain on the battery...

Just out of interest, did your faulty screens cause a parasitic drain on the battery? I have to have my car on charge 24/7 . Skoda didn't want to release it to me but I need a car until they give me a hire car. In an hour of not being charged, battery loses 2/3 charge. Almost feel like the alternator has crapped out too. Maybe even battery not holding charge? Dunno how long the drain has been going on..

Update on mine - they're replacing the screen which they think will fix the issue. I think agree given that it's worse when it's warm outside. Fingers crossed, will update in 6 weeks

Very helpful, thanks Primoz. I don't use GPS so wouldn't know if my gps is faulty but the rest of your errors line up with mine. I was already on 1941 so suspect it's a hardware fault. Especially given its the warm weather that does this. Cars in the workshop now getting diagnosed so passed on your info to them. Did skoda test your battery too as guessing getting discharged so much by being on o/night is less than ideal? Fingers crossed the fix works for you!

Hey all, I had this to the point where I couldn't make calls (I'm on the rd a lot) or use GPS as it was doing it every 30 seconds. Got upgraded to 1941 and the problem was fixed - so I thought. Just started again today. Now the head unit doesn't switch off when the car is locked and ive had low voltage warning a couple of times. I have noticed though that it seems to do it way more when the temp is > 25 Celsius. Or at least seems to kick off the period when it does it. Anyone have any ideas why? Off to the dealer to get them to have a look but since tomorrow is cold, $ to donuts, it won't do it tomorrow.. Driving me bonkers! Cheers, Steph

Yep, I've just had mine back last week with all available updates applied. No difference. It's not a biggie, just that it's stumping me as to why..

Hey, the directional arrows on my HUD are reversed when getting directions from Waze via android auto. Its not reversed 100% of the time bit way more than half the time. I've turned mine off as they pretty much useless but wondering if anyone has a fix?

Skoda says that the new vrs has a proper sports exhaust...me wonders if that means that it'll actually make it a proper sports exhaust and exhaust note? And more pertinantly, can it be retrofitted to the my22???

Given my issues with software etc without having played around with coding, I'm hesitant for now but once off warranty...how expensive is expensive ballpark wise?

Yep, I only found out once I'd driven off. Pointed out to the dealer that at time of purchase TSR was all over their website. They didn't give 2 sh.ts though

I get that too and mainly when cold and rainy but am in Australia so don't get the cold snaps you guys do. Hope I get the hot fix too

Have had this happen a few times but mine won't start for hours weirdly. Dealers have never heard of the issue which this thread gives me further pause. They've swapped a relay each time as well as installing anew start button. I now have instructions to video the errors next time and film myself pressing the brake pedal and of the stop lights when doing so. I had literally every system bar 1 have error codes so something was/is definetly having a fit. Good luck!
