“The OTA update system uses the vehicle’s built-in mobile network connection to communicate with Škoda servers.” This should be explained more clearly. Vehicles with and without a navigation system have the SOS system connected to the mobile network via an eSIM with 2 GB of preloaded data, which should last 10 years (Proactive Service). What other connection is there in the vehicle to the Škoda servers besides a Wi-Fi connection to the home network—which is reserved for vehicles with a navigation system—or purchasing data from Cubic Telecom? I’m very curious to find out if carrier pigeons could do it!!! Translated with DeepL.com (free version)

Only traffic purchased with Cubic Telecom allows OTA downloading of updates, the 2 GB loaded into the eSim are exclusive to SOS and Proattivo for 10 years

OTA updates, as written on the Skoda website, have some restrictions, which I see you're already aware of, and in my opinion the most important is the battery charge level, which must be above 50% and therefore in excellent condition. Charging/maintenance of the battery is not permitted during OTA updates, and the system must be online via Wi-Fi (2.4GHz) or a Hotspot. Thank you, and feedback is welcome.

CarPlay and Android Auto require FEC and SWAP activation. For wireless connectivity, this is only possible with Amundsen (Wi-Fi), using the AAW2+ dongle or Carlinkit with a cable for other devices. Press and hold the menu button for 5 seconds to access the engineer menu and view the valid FEC codes.

And inside You Have THIS

Only Amundsen with WIFI capability have wireless

Hello, the litmus test is to hold a flame “away from the car” close to the oil dipstick, as it is made of metal. DPF (EURO 6D temp) was introduced in 1000 and 1500 cc cars following the 2022 restyling, and therefore only in the event of regeneration failure could gasoline be found in the engine oil, as is the case in diesel engines with diesel fuel. Certainly, in a worn engine or one with imperfect carburetion, there may be a smell of gasoline, but the engine oil level will not increase. Translated with DeepL.com (free version)

Strange, very strange. Amundsen with SW 0156 and connectivity pack was wireless with CarPlay and became so for Android with SW 0278. Without purchasing the package, it is very easy with CarScanner or OBD11 to activate wireless MirrorLink, as FEC and SWAP are active in MY20.

Hello, as far as I know, this update method is for maps. Updates via USB with data and meta folders are complete when the word “resume” appears. For maps, it is important to activate the navigator to start and, when finished, the navigation database will be more recent.

Hello, if you have a Wi-Fi connection in the Setup tab and a recent SW with Android Auto, what version of SW and HW do you have?

In Amundsen, I know how to access the engineer menu and check the function codes in service mode, as they are enabled in the packages purchased with the car, but in retrofit they are difficult to install even when purchasing a dongle (AAW2+ or Carlinkit) because the FECs are not enabled and even with the cable the Smartlink does not work. In MY20, they were enabled in all versions in the Style with Amundsen, and it was also wireless, in the Ambition with Bolero, but only via cable with the appropriate coding.
