Not heard of many issues surrounding the facelift models (mk4.5), plenty of problems with the first phase of mk4's though. I own a mk4 SE L and find it really well equipped, has everything I require really although I too like the look of the new sportline. For practicality though I'd say you can't go past the SE L. One thing I noticed about the 4.5 sportline is that it doesn't have front fog lights. As I have the front fog lights on my mk4 SE L coded to come on with my high beam, I'd miss those personally. Have only ever seen DSG sportline's on sale too, do they do a manual version? I know they don't with the latest VRS..

No, the search function is located at the bottom of the screen when viewing on mobile. Click on the magnifying glass icon and then type in 1989

Are you referring to the infotainment software? If so, the latest version is 1989, and yes, there are links posted on here to D/L it. Search for a thread with 1989 in the title and you should find it

Can't answer your question but I can confirm a very similar thing happened to me. I used to leave my key in my work jacket, which I'd put in the car as I walked past before heading in for debrief / wash etc. But then one day when I went to my car afterwards it had locked itself, and I had to go home and get my other key. I replaced the batteries in both of my keys afterwards, and it hasn't happened since. Mind, I've never left one unattended in my car since either... 😆

Just you mentioned Bolero above...

The links in this thread are for Columbus software I believe, not sure if Bolero updates have been posted, or even if they carry the same 4 digit reference as the Columbus updates (such as 1941)

Has your vehicle recently been serviced? It wasn't a Skoda, but I once had a car beck in to the dealer for an issue which was present when I'd bought it. When I collected it, apparently fixed, I noticed a metallic rattling coming from under the bonnet. I pulled over and checked, to find they'd left a spanner under my hood! It was Snap-On branded though so I didn't make too much of a fuss, just kept it 😂

I get the changing user settings message every time I start up, always have

Have you checked the setting for automatic colour select or something like that? You might need to turn it off

The only time I've had a similar email was after I'd done a factory reset through the infotainment settings, which I did after performing an update. Could be Skoda are messing about with something, who knows? Seems odd that it's happened to two of you around the same time...

Have either of you recently been prompted to install an OTA update?

Is it a full sized wheel though? Or space saver which most spares are these days...

I've got a space saver spare wheel, which, along with the polystyrene tray which holds the jack and wheel brace, only just fits perfectly underneath the boot floor. Not sure a full sized wheel would fit tbh, as I did consider doing this myself originally

Have you tried doing a factory reset in the infotainment settings?

I was like the other user, would leave the usb plugged in for days but no change... 😕

If it's still like that tomorrow, you could try disconnecting the negative terminal on your 12V battery and leave it for 10 mins or so before reconnecting. if it's a bug that may well clear it. But it could be it's fine tomorrow, the bugs on these things are totally unpredictable. I had a similar issue to that once, but it didn't last for a long, just a lot longer than it normally would (the loading settings screen) Had another one once where my car's time and date changed to 2047 or something 😆 I can laugh now, wasn't laughing at the time though... 😒

To be fair I have infotainment online too, that must be where I get the map updates from, I thought it was traffication

I managed to update my infotainment software via usb but the one thing I could never manage was to get the map updates to succeed, no idea why, I tried the process just as it was suggested. Caved and paid for the traffication app which means I get map updates OTA

Sorry, I did download it from a thread on here a while back but I can't remember which thread. Might be worth trawling through any of the threads that mention updates with version numbers in their titles to try and find it though

I have 0144 on a 2020/21 Octavia and no, I can't do either off those things within the app

I updated my infotainment software straight from 1896 to 1985, not sure if you can go straight to 1989 but as going to 1985 wasn't an issue my guess would be it'd be fine. Tutorial and link for 1989 is on the main page of this (mk4) forum

From 1896 you can go straight to 1989 I believe, I went from 1896 to 1985 in one step anyway, when that was the latest software release. Tutorial and link for 1989 will be present on the main page of this (mk4) forum

@audiexp Did you manage to go straight from 1803 to 1989? Great news if so, will possibly help others to know that's possible if they're in your situation...
