Superb is using h8 but you will need canbus h8 otherwise it will throw error
I tried 2 type and love the one on the left
-
I repeat again, you need to recode 37:navigation using Vagcom or ask the dealer to do it via vas.
If you are not convinced, go and run another firmware
-
Only happen when you used a factory firmware, most of the other version don't need a recode.
Always read before you pop a cd in there.
-
Find someone with Vagcom or to your dealer. The car need to be recoded.
-
4120 is a factory firmware. You will need vagcom to recode the car after running this.
-
So in that case then am i right in thinking the 4020A firmware for older European units is ok. Were you talking about the 4020 FW rather than the 4020A FW when you originally commented before?
Cheers
Dave.
firmware in the 4 series suck big time in my opinion.

My change of fog light from 4300 light bulb to cree LED.
had to use an inbetween canceller for the LED bulb as i have tried a lot of canbus free H8 but it doesn't work that week.
and DRL:

Hmmmm might go for 3980 for Damo's unit as this would get past the missing button bug..... I think.
Cheers
Dave.
If i'm not wrong, Ver A and B can only go to 3810A. do note that it's with A behind.
3980 doesn't not support the older chipset.
after 3810A, the next final update is 5238.
This have much faster touchscreen response but being an old unit, i wouldn't do it unless one is desperate.
Do not fog an old horse unnecessary
-
It's a firmware corruption. just run an up to date firmware and it will solve the problem. but do have a map on standby as certain firmware will need to load in a new map.
-
Just an update on Damo's Columbus. Looks like he has a revision B and i suspect HW Radio 0004. This would mean an update to 4020 only. I'll double check it for myself before updating it though but from what i've found online it's looking that way.
Must say it does seem like a real bum deal that his 2012 car has a Columbus in it that was manufactured between May 2008 and October 2009!!!!!
Cheers
Dave.
i recommend a 3810A instead of 4020 which is slower and response for touch screen to be more retarded.
only issue with 3810A is one more bug on a keyboard button under Phone but that's not a killer.

Hi Sony,
With regard to being able to automatically retract the drivers seat wheh getting out of the car you say to refer to post 76 for more details.Could please tell me how I get to post 76. Its probably very easy when you know how but never having used this forum very often I just do not have a clue.
Thanks for all the useful information you have provided.
Regards Keith
Hi,
Apologies. I ported this from another forum. That function was hot linked to another post where I provided the steps
Too Tall have since provided u the steps
-
Was your engine turn off when you try the window switch? The one touch up and down only work when car is turn on.
If u off your car but before opening the door, u can still wind up and down the window but it's not one touch.
Once the door is opened, the window can't be wind anymore til the key is turn to on.

I had this thread in another forum and i tot i bring it over here to bring awareness of the small but interesting thing which we might not know about our car. Applicable to other cars that shared the same function.Let me start with a few:-1) Paddle shift. Hold the + and it will switch back from manual to Auto shift2) Auto Zoom on map for Columbus. Press the zoom buttom and set to auto "A". Map will zoom in and out depending on your speed when navigating.3) Dimmer adjustment next to light cluster not only does light intensity of instrument cluster but also the 2 cat eye near to sunglass holder and the led light at the door opener.4) both side mirror are heated mirror5) holding the lock / unlock button on remote auto wind up and down all window. Those with sunroof will be tiltup as well.6) hold lock button on remote control and side mirror will auto fold7) Auto Park Assist: to parallel part on left, turn signal indicator to left. Default is right side8) For Superb combi. Sunblind will auto close after car is parked for more than 2hours9) Comfort indicator. Default is 3 blink when you flick the signal stalk instead of pushing it into the gate. Can be turn on or off via MFD/Maxidot.10) combi rear door can only auto open. Cannot close using button inside car or key fob but can be vagcom to enable auto open and close11) steering column can pull in/out and up/down12) switch to M and instead of changing gears manually via the paddle controls, the GB will automatically upshift once you hit red-line and downshift when the revs have dropped below the gear's range13) Torch Light inside the boot of Combi have magnetic base. can be attached to car body during repair or tyre change14) Umbrella slot on rear (left) passenger door have drainage for wet umbrella. Umbrella is also automatic that does open and closing. Self charging when you retract the umbrella.
15) Footwell light control (Not all Superb have this enabled) Adjust the light intensity of footwell light when all doors are close so that footwell remain lighted during your journey
16) Corner fog which turn on according to where your steering wheel is turning. So don't be alarm when friends tell you one of your fog light is down. Either Left and Right fog will also come on when Left and Right signal light is triggered.17) Regular Intermittent wipe available one notch up from auto wiper.18) SD card only play MP3. doesn't play video files. want to watch video, use DVD19) alternate speed display in mph. unclick that in MFD and it will show outside temp.20) Horn cannot be use until ignition is on. So shout loud loud if you are parked and someone reverse into you.21) MY12 Superb, the fuel flap cannot be closed if the car is locked while the fuel flap is opened.22) Service wiper (for car wash or to change wiper) For non kessy and kessy car, turn the car on without firing the engine, push wiper stalk down and wiper will move up. For myself on non-kessy car, i will turn the car on and off, then push the wiper down. See which one work for u.23) Memory seat auto retract when leaving car. Need to enable this in Vagcom. (see Post 76 for details)24) Headlights will automatically switch on when car reaches 160km/h, and stays on even when car has stopped. (Switch need to be at Auto mode for this to come on).25) Can pre-lock car using key fob once driver door is closed. All other doors will lock automatically as and when they are closed. Indicator lights will blink once when the last door is closed.26) Signal light will override hazard light27) Hazard light will come on or blinking brake light if you do a hard E-Brake28) For those that experienced wing mirror not able to fold upon pressing constantly on the key fob, or that 1 of the window is not able to wind up (the other 3 moving ok) upon pressing teh key fob, you can reset it but "manually" pressing the non-moving window down all the way and up again. There after try on the key fob again and thing shall be back to normal.29) when car is lock using key fob, door is deadlock and cannot be open via door handle even if your passenger pull from inside the car.Please add on if you have other self discovery.Nothing is too trivial in this thread to shared, so open up and post what you know

Hi Justincombi or any other helpful soul,
do you happen to have the TSB on the recommendation of changing piston ring when there's excessive high engine oil comsumption?
-
That depends on the dealer. You got to ask them.
-
Driving with DVD playing is an offence is quite a few countries. Not sure about yours but all these are considered illegal modification.
I tot you would know.

What most vim disc does is that it's a firmware cd that is strip of all content except the header and one liner that rewrite the speed cut off for the screen from 15km/h to 300km/h.
So if you want to revert back, just amend that line and burn a new disc
-
The only benefit to upgrade to 5238 is the faster touch screen response.
So far, there's little review on the 6xxx series of firmware but like you said. No major changes to give the push to upgrade.

We are all here to help

I'm with silver on this. The corner light is a feature that light up the side of your car at low speed. Especially useful in dark location.
For those unknown jokers, you will need to educate them on what is known as cornering light.
It's the same in the olden days where people ask where is the clutch pedal when yours is a automatic or dsg car. Doh.....
-
Ya. Sort of supervise the installation while my guys do the work of removing the panels.
It's a bit different from other reverse cam where reverse light signal are tap to trigger while this cam is activated via canbus signal to the controller box
-
Actually if you are on 3814, I would recommend 5238. It's stable and apparently the touchscreen responsiveness is faster.
Google for it to download
-
Afraid my direction wouldn't be on the way for you as I'm not based in Europe
But you will definitely need to run the wire from the cam to the controller box then to the Columbus.

Those from china are original as well. I presume yours got knock somewhere and broke the seal thus water seep thru.
As for those from superskoda, it's different. The Combi have reverse and fog light in the same cluster and the twin door have theirs in separate cluster.
You have done the wiring, I suppose u should have know better.
I've emailed Superskoda to ask if the new KOPACEK (KI-R) modules that they now list as a package together with the combi LED rear light clusters are compatible with the limousine (twindoor) LED rear light clusters.
Here is the listing for the combi LED's and modules...
Note that it says that they are NOT suitable for the limousine (twindoor). This is strange as when you watch the 'install' video the connectors appear to be physically identical. I can only assume the functionality of the combi rear light clusters is different to those of the limousine (twindoor) rear light clusters, although again I'm not sure why, the only LED functions on both body shapes are the tail (night) lights and brake lights.
The reason for my renewed interest is that my limousine (twindoor) LED clusters are letting in water. When they arrived (from China) the outer lens on the nearside cluster was not properly sealed. I closed the seal with silicone sealant but moisture is still entering the cluster. The plan now is to buy genuine clusters from Skoda and the LED modules from Superskoda - if I can confirm that they will work in the limousine (twindoor)!
Columbus firmware upgrade
in Skoda Superb Mk II (2008-2015)

When you swap to a new module, there is a need to recode the module and disable voice command, then you can get back the voice command on the Columbus.
For those without ad2p originally, there's also a need to run 2 more wire, otherwise music is to one side only
