Thanks Chris, What I don't understand is where the Amundsen is getting the info from. For instance I have organ music played by Ashley Grote at Norwich Cathedral, but no-where in the file does the organist's name appear. The only possibility I can come up with is that Skoda Connect or the Amundsen is interrogating the free music database in the same way that ripping programs do. Anyway it does seem to be working now with the stick in the correct hole and the correct rotation. I do think that the data transfer is rather slow though. When I first try to get music after I have plugged the stick in I get No Readable Files. Leave it a short time and try again and selecting Artist will produce an alphabetic list of artists, but any other still says No Readable etc. Leave it a couple of minutes and everything works - and the quality is superb (should that be with a capital S? 😉 ) We were going to take the car to the dealer on Friday (we are in Harrogate, the dealer is 46 miles away in Huddersfield) but the way the weather is looking I guess it might have to be deferred. Still, I will give them more time to get the parts they need - especially the twin USB-C plate!!

I got the same flash drive as you (the blue one) and it works, well almost. When I enter My Media I get the list of options - Artists, Albums, etc etc, but I get a 'No files readable' (or something like) if I select anything other than Artists. I'm rapidly loosing the will to live.......

Thanks for that but I have problems that prevents me doing so. On the first hyperlink above I have to activate Skoda Connect on the Infotainment system which works until I get to the two keyfobs bit where it always fails as a timeout. The car is (hopefully if there is no snow) going to the dealer on Friday for this (and a number of other issues) to be rectified. On the second hyperlink I am asked to log in - which always fails, so overall I am stumped. Thanks anyway.

Thanks for your help Chris, I've cracked it! I was sitting at my desk an hour ago and suddenly realised that in front of me on the desk was a USB socket tester. It has one USB-A plug, two USB-A sockets and two LED numeric displays. Plug in and it lights up the voltage for each socket. I put the tester into the USB socket of the USB-C interface adapter that I have been using and plugged that into the car. Outcome? The right socket is dead. The left socket works correctly with the USB-C one way round but just causes a flashing blue LED on the end of the tester when plugged in the other way round. I reverted to the correct situation and plugged in my USB flash drive and -BINGO- it was recognised and plays music! One very happy bunny here. I'm now going to buy one of the memory sticks like you use (Ryman and WHSmith stock them in 32GB) and transfer all my tracks from the existing flash drive and SD card. One more thing for the dealer to investigate!

+1 the last paragraph - definitely! I'll have another go tomorrow with a new flash drive. I am currently using a micro flash/SD/USB adapter and cannot be sure if it works as I have nowt else that uses USB-C!!

Thanks Chris. Two questions: is it likely that because I cannot establish myself as a prime user that I cannot play music via USB (it works OK on Bluetooth from a phone)? Secondly, in what structure is your memory stick formatted - I would guess exFAT for one of that size - and how is your music structured? Is it in directories that reflect album titles or types of music, or is the whole lot just one list? Woody

We have just bought a Karoq Sportline diesel and are generally happy with it except for the Amundsen unit. It was ex demo from a Skoda dealer, and was first registered on 29 Sept last year. The car is supposed to have had the MY22 update/facelift but has some oddities associated with that change. We traded in a Passat (18plate) which had a Discover Media (DM) Infotainment unit which is essentially the same unit as the Amundsen - after a fashion! Can anyone here steer me in the right direction to resolve what my wife and I see as issues with the way it works please. I believe my Amundsen is MIB3. The car does not come with a handbook any more - it is "on the Infotainment unit" but what is there is useless. For example where are the fuses, how does one access their hidey hole, and which fuse controls what? I found a handbook on line (more of that in a moment) which shows all of that information (it is 328 pages long!) but there is nothing available in the car. I went digging on line and found a page where I could download a manual. There were three for 2022 - Feb, June, and Nov - but when I enter my car's VIN it shows the relevant handbook as the February version. Eh? For a facelifted model first registered in 9/22 surely it should have been at least the 6/22 ? Satnav: is there any way of getting rid of that stupid bullseye screen every time I select Nav? Also is there any way of getting rid of the residual PoI icons that hover all over the place? How does one update the maps - yes supposedly over air but mine have version 306 which reading this forum suggests cannot be updated. Music: unlike many people these days I do not live on my smartphone - indeed I only have one so that we can interface with various operations that you cannot access without one - e.g. Waitrose offers. On the DM there was a SD card slot in the glovebox and a USB-A in the armrest both of which can be used to update maps, update radio station logos, or play music. There are now just two USB-C sockets where the ashtray would have lived but if I plug in a flash drive with maps, logos, or music on it the Amundsen sees the drive but just says it cannot find any files. This is annoying particularly for the station logos: the logo file for the previous version of the Amundsen (MIB2?) was dated 2020 and contained 679 logos; the last file I downloaded for the DM dated 2018 had 739 logos - including Classic FM and Smooth UK, both of which are missing from the Amundsen file. Why for heaven's sake, they come from the same place after all? Finally, despite trying maybe 50 times, I cannot register a primary user. When it gets to the page where it asks for the keys to be actioned quite often the icon and counter doesn't appear on screen. Repeating the process maybe 6-8 times eventually the key counter comes up. I press the buttons as quickly as I can commensurate with the screen showing detection and they register on screen but then nothing happens for 30 seconds or so when a message comes up saying it has timed out. I repeat the process perhaps three or four times and at some point a message shows saying that it has already registered one key so please use a different key. Er, help?
