Boot light upgrade
It started to disappear with model year 2021. So anytime after Skoda did a revamp of the Karoq back in July 2020. I was keen on this detachable flashlight and the manual does still explain its usage in my case, however, there is none anymore since then. To get a better light in my trunk, I've exchanged the previous gloomily bulb with a single LED on the right side, but it is still to dark, especially on the other side.

Reversing camera image - can you see the car's own number plate?
Absolutely 👍 High view comes mostly with area view and as far as I know, in all Kodiaq models. So the basic low view has static lines while the high view cameras have adapting lines which change while steering.

My rear view definitely changed sometime in the past with any of the software updates of Amundsen infotainment. My MY21 Karoq intially had the view without seeing the number plate and switched to the view with the plate view. I can't say for sure which view is now best, however I cannot switch the current view back or forth. Don't have area view with MY21, btw.

MIB3 map update
As far as I know certain VW models use the same infotainments devices, with slightly different covers, but use the same maps. VW offers an appropriate download page for them.

Split hose Karoq
So you mean this knocking comes indead from a split hose, the one above? I had this noise starting some time, in my brand new Karoq. I untied the black box (with the white sticker on it) from the car's chassis and the noise stopped, at least it was more silent inside when the car was idle at the traffic lights. So, after reading here, I must have a second look to the hose of there is a split or so....

The Camera Parking System Is Currently Unavailable
Pressing the appropriate button in middle console does not switch on the rear camera either, when this message appears?

Traffic reports not being received
Are you sure about RDS and FM band? As far as I know traffic announcements come in via an active Skoda Connect subscription, see https://www.skoda-auto.sk/o-nas/skoda-connect-nove

Auto dimming mirrors only on driver and centre?
It's quite common that Skoda drops advertised or ordered parts without any communication towards their customers. This circumstance is left to the local dealer that will give you a small rebate and leave it to you to retreat from the contract or bite the bullet.

DSG & autohold/handbrake
They do stay on. Could see them various times mirroring in the following car's wind screen...

Software Update...?
What is so special with 0324? As usual, there is no change log, I suppose?
-
Software Update...?
Out of interest: we are in the Karoq forum. Will the same updates for Skoda work, too, for VW like @Xerpexowns? Discovery Pro is comparable with a Columbus from Skoda, right?

Software Update...?
I noticed since the update to 0306, my Amundsen MIB3 boots up more often instead of awakening from standby. Anyone seeing the same?
-
Software Update...?
I took the challenge and all went fine. After using the Resume option the MIB3 restarted and is running as expected. Right after this restart, I was offered a second update which also installed w/o any issues. Thanks!

Software Update...?
So, basically the update has finished, but not fully as it seems. The infotainment now shows below pic and I don't know how to proceed. Should I press the item which reads "Resume"?

Software Update...?
Thanks for this reply: I do have a charger available so I would prefer this way...
-
Software Update...?
Thank you 🙃 So you mean start the engine and let it charge the battery, correct? I meant, when e.g. I got a new steering wheel (because of those annoying travel assist issues, recently), the complete process of swapping this part, is documented in Skoda's internal software. This obviously applies, too, if one of the control units are exchanged because of a hardware failure. The aim might be to document the car's complete life for reference or in case of any global recall.

Software Update...?
Hi! Just registered here because of this interesting thread about a possible software update for my Karoq! I wonder, if it would be possible to update my Karoq's software, MY 21, too? Which is the currently available software version? 306? Hardware level is H22 and software is currently 0276. Could not really follow the vid above 'cause it's in Italian language 😁 The steps necessary to update using an USB stick are clear, though. Anyway, would it be recommended to update myself? My car still has a valid warranty till the end of year 2024, nevertheless the dealer will only update upon a valid complaint about a software failure. I heard that one should have the car's battery connected to a charger to avoid any blackouts during the update. If a dealer will update a car's software, will the new version be registered at Skoda, similar if you change any hardware parts, or doesn't it matter at all? cu, Michael
