No, I didn't. I did do it on a Mac though. Try downloading the zip from another device (like iPhone), and email the ISO to your PC. Usually works for me when I have extract problems. 👍

https://www.drive2.ru/l/465526077448520463/ I used these lot, downloaded 6276 and burned the ISO to a disc, worked perfectly.

It is done. Plugged in VCDS and gave the unit a scan. It was running 6270. One (albeit Russian) forum search later, and it working again on 6276 perfectly. £5 on some CD's + trial and error, all sorted, can't complain!

doesn't matter. looks like mine is running 6270.

anyone have a working link for 5238? seems all links on the site are now down and my head-unit has conked out.

Yeah, it's definitely either the CD or the copy of 5238 I downloaded. Found a copy of 5382 (which I know will probably not be compatible) and it booted up the installed straight away; albeit to an error message but it is working with the installation cds.

Gave it a go earlier. Windows 10 & 11 refused to recognise the blank disc for me so had to write it with a Mac. Downloaded 5238 from a link on the forum, burned it to the disc, loaded it into the headunit, initialised all well and good but I am now presented with this screen. I am assuming it's not liking the disc as I've had nothing but problems with them.

Managed to have a look at it the other day, boots into the BIOS/Software loader so looks like it is a software issue. I've ordered some CD-RW's from Amazon so I'll try to install the software on Friday. We move.

I had read quite a few of that fellas threads/posts and had noticed he hadn't posted in 2 years. Clearly he knew his stuff. There's so many points of failure on these I had no idea where to start on it. However unit will not even boot to the point where I can open the disc drive. (but I haven't even tested to check if it's empty yet 🤦‍♂️) I'll have a good read tonight and get some DVD-RW's ordered. Thank god I ordered a writable external drive last week then! 😁

Hi all, first post on the forum. I recently picked up a 3.6 Superb Estate and I'm rather enjoying it. When I bought it knew it had a faulty head unit, and was always going to take a look at it. I know they are a very common failure point so thought I'd document my 2024 experience with it. Whilst I don't have any experience with OEM head-units (outside of 3rd party Chinese ones), I do with PC electronics, I'll try to pull the unit sometime this week and test the various parts. I'll attached a video below, it either does this in a loop, or just stays on the Skoda loading screen; which I'd assume is possibly some sort of CPU/motherboard failure but I am holding in hope that it could just be a faulty drive. I'd certainly take and appreciate any suggestions/tips from someone more experienced though. 😅 -Laszlo headunit failure.mp4
