The factory reset was the first thing I did after the update, so I don’t thing it works, since The Columbus MIB3 infotainment unit in PHEV/ iV Octavias has the e-Manager (for charging timers, preconditioning, battery limits, etc.) activated via specific long coding in the infotainment module (usually address 5F). The 1989 update (a performance/stability release that also improves things like SmartLink/CarPlay/Android Auto) overwrites the firmware and resets or deactivates that PHEV-specific coding.

In my case, after the update, the major problem is the eManager app not working anymore (I have a 2021 PHEV Octavia), and therefore it’s stuck on “Reduced charging current” mode, meaning that it takes about 8hrs to fully charge instead of 5.

Create a temporary folder on your PC or Tablet for example MIB3 UG. Then find the zip file and then right click on it or press and hold on it, so the menu appears and it should offer you the opportunity to Extract here or elsewhere, tell it to extract the files to MIB3 UG folder and let it get on with it. When it has finished, format a usb memory stick so it's completely empty, then go to the folder MIB3 UG open it and copy the 2 folders and other file directly onto the memory stick. When it has finished copying the files to the memory stick it should look something like this... THERE MUST BE NO OTHER FILES THAN THIS. Once your memory stick looks like this, remove it and take it to the car. Insert it into a USB port, press and hold the menu button for about 10 seconds and the update menu will appear. At this point it's vital that you have a full or very well charged car battery or a battery charger attached so that the car doesn't shutdown halfway through the process. Ignition needs to be ON, the Engine needs to be OFF (NOT RUNNING)! DO NOT START IT DURING THE PROCESS. Here's a video that shows you what to do, albeit in German, you'll get the English version! If you watch it carefully you'll get the gist of what to do. UNDER NO CIRCUMSTANCES MUST THE PROCESS BE STOPPED ONCE IT HAS STARTED OTHERWISE YOU'LL MORE THAN LIKELY NEED A NEW INFOTAINMENT SYSTEM. Notes. After it has finished updating the system, give it a couple of minutes to ensure that all is well and like it shows on video press resume an wait for about 90s or so and the system will restart just, like in the video. DO NOT START THE CAR UNTIL THE SYSTEM HAS RESTARTED After the update the built-in manual is unlikely to be available for about 48hrs, it does come back! You will more than likely receive another OTA update, it's OK to accept it. Ultimately if you are at all worried about doing it, take it to a VW Independent or Skoda dealer and ask them to do it for you Once it has been updated, there should be no more random restarts or crashes on the infotainment system, the pop pop issue should be gone too.. https://youtu.be/4AsSbGd3caU

You search on this forum for 1941 first, you update it via USB C stick, then you also search for the latest 1989 and do the same. You will also find all the steps here on the forum.

No, I posted in the morning because I kinda lost almost all night (because having some issues with downloading and card formatting etc, not regarding the process itself), and I skipped explaining all the steps. I updated from 1803 to 1941 using the link you provided and afterwards I updated to 1989. So one intermediate update directly to 1941. Everything worked flawlessly, after the 1989 update I factory restored the system directly and reconfigured the primary user setup. Everything works well and it’s a huge step betweeen the initial software and this one.

Thank you sincerely as I managed to update the unit very smoothly!

Thank you sincerely since I managed to update the unit smoothly to the latest version. 🙏🏻

Does it work from 1803 straight to 1989?

Hello! I’m new to this.. I bought this Octavia PHEV 2021 and it has software 1803. I downloaded from this forum your zip for 1989. Can I update it using USB directly? I heard that I have to update to other older versions before this one. Is it right? And which versions exactly and where can I find them? Thank you in advance!

Unfortunately I can’t find the links for the software versions to download, can you help me with a private message please?

Thank you very much! I will search and try to follow your instructions.🙏🏻

Hello! I am new to Skoda, my 2021 Octavia iV 1.4 TSI PHEV being my first one. I bought it a few months ago and I was wondering how to update to the latest software for my Infotainment unit because I am pretty sure is outdated and also because the version I have has a few bugs like freezing and radio issues. I posted the versions that I have and I kindly asking you to help me with a step-by-step update because I am a newbie and I don’t want to break anything here. I don’t even know exactly what type of unit I have (Columbus, Bolero etc) and where to begin. From time to time it asked me for some OTA updates and I accepted them but that’s it, it didn’t changed much. Thank you in advance!
