This is with Apple CarPlay.

Anyone have any ideas ? The other day I managed to have Apple Maps google maps and skids navigation all working together - I don’t know how but I have not been able to replicate it. ?

Have you got the link to the portal ? Also do you know if you can run the Skoda navigation for a route the same time as your phones navigation say google maps ?

Nice, so you can update maps every time there is an update without the e-sim on but not have traffic data or map updates instantly? Can you guide me to where you can check the latest updates are online and is there instructions on how to transfer to the infotainment?

I have my Skoda app and I can still see mpg,distance etc… and where my car is parked without the eSIM ticked in the Kodiaq. I took eSIM off because it kept doing funny things on my phone like to login and also confused the car/phone as to where it should get mobile service data from, from what I have experienced. Skoda does not make it very clear here.

I don’t have the eSIM enabled anymore and I can still get maps - I don’t have a data subscription either, so why do I need the eSIM ON what’s it actually doing without a data subscription?! I repurchased the infotainment £44 today and occasionally I can get both google maps and Skoda maps working together but not all the time. (Been to Cumbria many times and it’s very helpful if I can get both navigations working simultaneously due to drop outs).

Very helpful - I opted for both infotainment and remote access as I like to know where my vehicle is and honk/flash and mileage data. As to the infotainment I don’t think we pay for any updates if it is purchased yearly is this correct ?

Derek Thanks for the reply, do I need (2) to have maps working and is (3) part of the maps - as I do use Skoda maps (just would like to use both Skoda maps and google maps at the same time - which since the latest update do not work simultaneously - they both did before) - thanks in advance

Thanks for the reply Steve, unfortunately this only began for me since the latest update - It was never an issue for me before that. Also does eSIM need to be checked as it doesn’t seem to make a difference to the issue, what I have found is that no WiFi and eSIM seems to occasionally allow both Skoda and maps to work when connected directly - only sparingly though. Can I also ask - without any subscriptions does the navigation still work as mine finishes tomorrow.

Hi is this the same problem as described below (I posted elsewhere but got no reply). I have a Skoda kodiaq 2023 and have noticed since the latest update 2025 Jan/feb I am no longer able to access the Skoda navigation at the same time as say google maps or Apple Maps - I have reliably been able to use both at the same time before and this enabled me to get from A to B (if navigation fails in country roads for one navigation then I switch to the other without restarting navigation every time) this has worked before but not now. I have tried inbuilt eSIM on and off and use my Skoda app registered and unregistered (I have tried everything - at some point it worked temporary after update but I done know what I did to get that to happen) and I connect via Apple CarPlay with WiFi On and also tried with a direct wired connection - please has anyone had an issue like this and how do I rectify so that I can get both to be on at the same time - I have the care connect and infotainment free plan till 25 Feb but I don’t want to pay for the updates of these until I sort this out. Any ideas ?!
