Skoda's IT lets down the marque on many fronts. It is at best rudimentary. This is a backward step for anyone with a perfectly functional iphone which does not carry iOS 16 or better for whom the essentials app continues to function. To describe it as making the digital experience more convenient it is little short of a joke! Appalling!

My Skoda and Essentials have been basic apps with little functionality. But now the brain surgeons behind the Skoda IT are closing Essentials and the Portal and merging them into MY Skoda app. Only snag is unless your iPhone runs iOS16 or above you will be locked out when Essentials closes in July and unable to communicate with your car. This priceless snippet is from the email "To make your digital experience with your Škoda even more convenient, we are moving MyŠkoda Essentials app and Škoda Connect portal into the new MyŠkoda app for you to have all important information in one reliable place". I have asked my dealer to communicate this to the Skoda CEO.
