Brake sticking after parked for long
darkmatterink replied to darkmatterink's topic in Skoda Octavia Mk IV (2020 > )
I doubt this will work with electronic P brakes. Will try it out. -
Hello. It had rained heavily, so I decided to park my car for a while so I wouldn't get stuck in the floods. When I tried to drive today, after releasing the parking brake, I felt that the brake held on, and then I heard a thud when I gave throttle, and then it released. The car is a 2023 VRS. Is this normal? But this happened only once.

There is no harm in just leaving the code yeah? I dont have access to a diagnostic tool at the moment. But everything seems to be working fine.

Hey @aaaaplay Did you get a chance to check?
-
Totally agree. I dont see a logical explanation as to why they wont offer OTA updates for our regions... Im pretty sure there are other firmware updates for rest of the control modules in our vehicles. But we will never know...

Sorry you had to go through this. But can you please tell me where you got the illuminated ones and how did you wire it? -
Hello guys.. I came across this post on a VW forum where some successfully updated but had to do an extra step using a OBD tool to fix software management error in control unit 5F Did anyone here have to do it? Here's the link to it https://www.vwvortex.com/threads/how-to-update-infotainment.9535048/post-116196522

Infotainment System Restarting endlessly
darkmatterink replied to ScottS's topic in Skoda Octavia Mk IV (2020 > )
I too had this issue after 1941. layout got reset. I did a factory reset and started fresh. have not had the issue since. Also I just updated to 1969.. will test it out and revert. Others are enjoying the update as of now, -

So there is no need for a battery charger in this case?

It will probably have the 4th gen EA888 engine with a bigger turbo. As I recall they have moved away from the IHI turbo. So there may be mechanical differences.

Can I update my car software myself?
darkmatterink replied to Dandesc's topic in Skoda Octavia Mk IV (2020 > )
Great. I was all happy that my car is up to date 😂. But the rest of the car works as it’s supposed to. So I really shouldn’t worry about having the latest software for all modules, unless new features were introduced. Then I’ll be missing out. The problem is, in my region, I don’t get OTA updates, nor does the car have internet connectivity. So there is no way to really see what modules need updating -

Sorry, how are telematics and infotainment updates different? I assumed the updates are all under one package...? How do I know if my telematics are up to date? I recently got my software updated via the dealership to version 1941... Attached is system info.. -
Hey, I had a similar issue with a genuine iPhone cable. Unplugging and replugging it a couple of times solved it, and I haven't had the problem ever since. Lol, I know it's a weird fix, but hey, it works

Hey guys, I've got the Columbus infotainment system. You can see the altitude by going to the home page. Add the 2X3 navigation widget and you'll get a compass. When you swipe, it will display coordinates and altitude.

I checked if there’s a UAE specific portal. There isn’t any. It’s just tied to vin. I guess you’re right. Maybe they haven’t updated it here. There are only a handful of Škoda cars here 🥲

Tested and working coding Octavia mk4

Hi @Markeknows, I followed your instructions and sought some help from @RobL50 to update my maps. However, it simply did not work. I plugged the USB in for an hour, but there was no activity. I bought my car in 2023, and the map version currently installed is 21.11. Unfortunately, the dealer in my region is not very helpful when it comes to software support; they claim their system does not show any map updates available. Another thing I found very strange is that when I went to look for FEC codes, there were none! Both supported codes and installed codes were blank. I don't know if this has something to do with not being able to update the maps. I went searching for the codes because I read somewhere that maps need to match the unit's region and FEC/SWaP code... So now I am confused.

How do you update maps yourself? In my region, we dont get OTA updates. I tried to download the maps files from the skoda update portal but there was no sign that it was getting updated. IF you have done it, can you please explain what i am doing wrong? -
