Happened to my 21 plate MC and a simple software update fixed it.

Agreed mate, simple innit🤷🏻‍♂️

Typical VAG glitch mate, you’ll get used to it. Every manufacturer has issues, luckily Skodas seem to be infotainment issues and not engine like some.

Like 99% of issues here just take it back to the dealer if it’s under 3 years old.

Trust me, in the very unlikely event that you should ever be involved in an incident whereby the emergency services need immediate access they WILL get in, no bother whatsoever. It really isn’t the death trap scenario you seem to think it is. BTW, this post is meant to be reassuring, but I bet I still get some stick for it🙄

My neighbours think I’m great Davey boy. And no I haven’t read that, a slight clunk when moving off doesn’t ruin my life😂

Absolutely, I’m frankly bored of seeing umpteen posts about disc corrosion when actually 99% of it is normal vag characteristics. Literally seconds after you drive the car again and use the brakes the so called “rust” has gone. It’s normal. I’ve had VAG cars for more years than I can be bothered to remember and not once have I ever faced near death because of a bit of surface rust. Chill, Jesus😂

Put it this way, compared to the VW app the app for Škoda Connect is wayyyy better. The Mrs has the VW app for her Polo and I find it buggy as hell, whereas Skoda Connect seems way more stable (especially since the major recent update).

Your nearest Škoda main dealer is 200 miles away? Take it to any Škoda main dealer……surely there’s one closer to you than 200 miles?

You’re welcome🙄

Mate, go to war with them. Your car is under warranty, there is a fault with it therefore they HAVE to resolve it. DONT let them fob you off with the classic “it’s normal” line. I’m on my second Kamiq and I can categorically say it is NOT normal. So, you get hold of the Dealer Principles contact details (preferbaly email~easily obtained with some digging) and give it to him/her about how you will not go away until the problem is resolved. At the same time you log an official complaint with Škoda UK. Trust me, it WILL get resolved. Never ever let these stealers off the hook, persue them until it is sorted. They love you pre sale, and couldn’t care less post sale.

Always happy to oblige👍

Trust me, I won’t be looking because I couldn’t care less if I tried. Oh, and I’m not a “know all” mate but I do have opinions on things, and I will voice them…..that ok with you? I didn’t “sneer” at the OP at all, I just offered up my opinion on reverse cameras that’s all. Apology accepted. Mate, I’ve been on this forum since 2004, I doubt I’d have lasted this long if I was a wind up merchant. This is a forum mate, where big boys and girls come to seek help and offer opinions etc. If it’s a bit too edgy for you then I’d suggest subscribing to something far less offensive. Oh, and there was no need to quote my last post twice, I read your reply the first time. Idiot😂😂

You find them helpful and that’s great, I’ve just never seen the need that’s all. Nobody is right or wrong here, it’s a forum where help and opinions are commonplace, it’s really no big deal and I’m not sure why certain people are getting all worked up about it😂 My last car had reverse cameras but I literally never looked at the screen when reversing, I preferred the old fashioned way of mirrors and the sensor beeps. If it works for you then all is good👍 No dramas whatsoever.

Forums are indeed designed to offer assistance where required, but you’ll also have plenty of people offering plenty of opinions too, that’s the nature of a forum mate. The trick is to accept that different opinions are absolutely fine, there will be heap loads of things that you disagree with me on…..and that’s absolutely fine. No need to get upset. Jesus🙄

Fair play mate, at last someone who recognises that we all have different opinions. It’s nice to have an adult debate👍

I’ll guarantee that if I looked hard enough I can find plenty of posts from you whereby you’ve voiced an unhelpful opinion…..but I don’t care enough to even bother. Wind your neck in mate.

It wasn’t intended to be helpful mate, but this is a forum and like it or not opinions are commonplace, so I voiced my opinion. You’re welcome👍

Reverse cameras are a pointless luxury if you already have reverse sensors (which most new cars have). The sensors will accurately tell you how close you are to something, thus doing the same job as a camera just without the visual aid. If I buy a car with reverse cameras fitted that’s fine, but I wouldn’t dream of chasing wires and drilling holes into a car to have one retro fitted. Even if it didn’t involve drilling holes I still wouldn’t bother, pointless. Only my opinion, if you disagree then all good👍

I recently traded in a 2021 Monta Carlo with a full size spare wheel for a brand new 73 plate Monte Carlo with a pathetic tyre inflation kit. You should have seen the look on the salesman’s face when upon collecting my 73 plate I proceeded to swap the inflation kit for the spare wheel. He wasn’t impressed, and I didn’t care. Guys, next time you go and order a new car make sure that you insist on a full spare wheel instead of an inflation kit. You’ll be surprised how willing they will be to accommodate you if the deal hinges on it, that’s what I’ll be doing next time. OP, call the dealer and tell him/her that the deal depends on them providing you with a full spare wheel.

I’ll answer mate, I hate seeing someone left hanging. However, I won’t be much use as I’ve never heard of that model phone, so I have no idea. Hopefully someone may come along soon to help.

Everyone seems to be missing the point, it shouldn’t be up to us to navigate a successful update, it should be as straightforward as pressing a button and letting it do its thing. We pay a lot of money for our cars, and to have the added stress of worrying about an update should not be a thing. Put it this way, if it was me and I was unable to successfully update the system I’d be straight to my dealer demanding that they sort it out, and I certainly wouldn’t be trolling the internet for which update is current and whether I should update to the previous version first. This is why car manufacturers get away with things like this, because they know the average person will move heaven and earth to resolve a problem before bothering them. Not me, why should I?

You are right, it could be just another VAG gremlin or it could be something like snow obscuring the sensors (I’ve had this). My point is that is is usually temporary and nothing to worry about.

I’ve had this, then it disappears the next time I’ve driven it. Another VAG gremlin.

You’ll love it. Put it this way, in over 30 years of driving everything from Audi to Peugeot to BMW etc this is the first time I’ve ever replaced a car with exactly the same model and spec. Love it.
