RobL50 started following Dash cam port C on rear view mirror , Update to Version 1969 , Anyone any good with Apple CarPlay??? and 5 others
-
I have a question about the OTA updates. If I accept the 1969 update when I am on a short journey what happens when I finish the journey and switch off? Does it continue? Does it pause and then restart when next switched on? Does it crash? I was offered the update today but deferred it as the journey was only 2 miles/

You could just temporarily disable WiFi on the car or your phone. You should then be able to connect via a USB cable. -
Interesting, thank you. I had seen the VW announcements and was thinking that an Octavia PHEV with 60 mile range would be ideal.
-
I see that the PHEV version has been dropped which is a pity.

I understood that map updates were part of the Infotainment option at £35 pa. I did not go with this and had no problem downloading and updating the maps myself.

Help can these cars ever work correctly

In my case I was able to have it updated by a different branch of the dealer that was more convenient. -

If you bought it as an official used SKoda then the dealer should have updated the software to 1941 (or the newer version). Mine had not and I had to insist that they updated it as per Skoda's web site. If you bought it elsewhere I suggest you get it updated to the latest software either at a dealer or following instructions on this site. -
What happens if you use the lower power cable and a 13A socket? If the problem continues it is probably the car, if it goes away it is probably your charger box. (If you need to use a 13A extension lead make sure it is fully unwound / uncoiled).

I bought a used car and the salesman recommended against Skoda Connect. I looked at the options and considered the free 1 month offer to update the navigation but updated it using the download files. I do not see any great benefit for my use.

It is the tab on the left.

Dash cam port C on rear view mirror
RobL50 replied to MarkyThornton's topic in Skoda Octavia Mk IV (2020 > )
I have it in stock at Amazon UK. This is the cable I use with a Garmin DC2. -
I haven't used it at night yet.

I bought it from Amazon: 0.3m USB C to MICRO USB, OTG cable, charges Micro USB devices, angled plug, data cable, charging cable, USB 2.0 : Amazon.co.uk: Electronics & Photo I bought the version with the 'right' handed micro plug for my Garmin DC2. If I had ordered the cable with the 'left' handed plug I could have mounted the dashcam slightly higher on the windscreen.
