Amundsen MIB1 Map Update 2020-2021
Has anyone found the 2021 MIB1 Amundsen map update? I've been looking on the Skoda and VW websites but they're both still showing the 2020/21 update from June 2020. I've found part numbers for the Audi equivalent 2021 update on a new SD card (8V0 060 866 N and 8V0 919 866 N) but so far only a dealer in Denmark lists it and my local Audi dealer says it's not yet in stock in either the UK or Germany.

ECE 2019/2020 maps are now available on the Skoda Update Portal
Are you 100% sure you downloaded the correct/same map? A 2016 Scout will likely have a MIB2, and since you mention SD card you likely have an Amundsen? Are those correct guesses?

LED COURTESY LIGHTS
Since you're in Greece and I'm in the UK, my answer about shipping fees may not apply to you! Why not go to their website place the LEDs in the shopping basket and go to the checkout to enter your location when you'll see the shipping fees that apply to you (you don't have to buy them yet!)?

LED COURTESY LIGHTS
I fitted the white Superskoda LED lights in the version with a projector that shows 'Octavia' onto the ground - they are really bright and look great with no errors. Yes, they not the cheapest but the build quality is so much better than the cheap ones I got on Aliexpress - which were so badly built they went in the recycle bin.

MySkoda support ends 10th December
Had a reply from Dean Goodwin (Skoda UK Customer Relations Manager) who seems to think that I was complaining about the loss of Digital Service History on the Skoda Connect app: So I have replied making it clear that my complaint is about the lack of Digital Service History on the Skoda Connect Lite app: I get a distinct feeling that we are all being fobbed off...

NEW MYSKODA APP - DEC 2020
I too have had a reply from Dean Goodwin - who seems to think that I have emailed regarding the same issue but I have not. My issue is that as I cannot use the Skoda Connect app (my 2015 Octavia does NOT support Connect+) my issue is the lack of access to the Digital Service History on the Skoda Connect Lite app, and I have replied to him making this clear:

Copy Amundsen Satnav Skoda 16Gb SD card to 32Gb
That's poor documentation - a Skoda SD card is essential with an Amundsen.

Not sure I 100% believe their reply to that: I can feel I'll be getting in touch with Skoda Support CZ again...

Upgrading Headunit to Columbus?
I also have a MIB1 Amundsen and have been told by the experts that you cannot just change the display with a MIB1 Amundsen - they've tried it and you get multiple images not one better image.

Upgrading Headunit to Columbus?
If you had/have Navi then it's not a Bolero, looks like a MIB1 Amundsen to me in that case. BTW .heic files need a special app to open them, far better to post .jpg pictures

Copy Amundsen Satnav Skoda 16Gb SD card to 32Gb
The CID is not car specific, it's common to all Skoda (maybe even VAG) map SD cards. I've got 3 Skoda SD cards all purchased off eBay and all of them work with my MIB1 Amundsen - even the 5L0 ones. I've recently got an Audi SD card and when it stops raining(!) will try that with my MIB1.

Greetings from Finland.
Sadly I don't - only went to Helsinki, Oulu and Tampere on business and once to Kuusamo for some snowmobile fun!

VW ID.4 SUV EV
Probably not - the ID.3s currently being delivered are having huge software updates (over 8 hours) with an even bigger software update already scheduled for February. VAG are definitely using customers (not only ID.3 but also Golf 8 and Octavia IV) as alpha/beta software testers

Hello from New Zealand
My Octavia has an Amundsen not a Columbus so I don't have a jukebox and will have to let someone with more expertise than me answer what formats are recognised and how to load them onto the jukebox.

Greetings from Finland.
My wife used to have a 2005 Fabia 1.2 - which we traded in for our current 2015 Octavia Elegance 1.4TSI Combi. I used to travel to northern Finland regularly for business (Oulu - so I guess you know the company I used to work for!) until 2003.

MySkoda support ends 10th December
Almost.... here's the reply from Skoda CS: I've replied reminding them that Skoda UK Support say they can't do anything as the app development is lead in the Czech Republic so it seems pointless referring me back to Skoda UK

I got a reply to my email to Skoda support complaining about the loss of functionality (no Digital Service History) between the old MySkoda app and Skoda Connect Lite (I can't use Skoda Connect as I have a MIB1) - asking for the VIN. So I expect to get a reply saying tough, you're stuck with the useless Connect Lite.

Auto lights high beam assist useless
I only have the basic camera (20 not A5) in my Octavia and find that HBA works 'almost' perfectly - it's late dipping maybe one time in a hundred, so we use it all the time.

Oil change after only 450 miles
Service intervals are based on time as well as mileage, was it pre-registered? 2020 models were being built at the factory from around August 2019 until July 2020, since then they've been building 2021 models.

Hello from New Zealand
Welcome! Does the infotainment rip the CDs into the jukebox itself or can you load your digitised files from a USB stick? If the former, what format does it rip (I'd bet MP3 which isn't lossless)?

Done that just now

MySkoda support ends 10th December
My point exactly, the 'new' app has been badly written - but maybe that was deliberate? Why do I think that? Because owners of an older Skoda have lost features of the MySkoda app so may be tempted to trade-in to a newer Skoda, and owners of a newer Skoda may be tempted to pay the £100 to get all the promised features of the new app - so is it a deliberate marketing plan to sell new cars? Yes I AM an old cynic

Not me, I just downloaded the 'Skoda Connect' app, clicked on Check VIN and on entering my VIN got this message: Unfortunately, your vehicle is not equipped with the "SKODA Connect" and "SmartLink+" technologies.
