May be the answer to my question...I've also has the SOS spontaneously launch (not fun doing 70 on themotorway): https://www.theguardian.com/money/2021/may/01/vw-audi-and-skoda-owners-angry-over-fault-in-sos-warning-system . So much for Skoda's lies they know nothing. Sadly not the first time...

Sent video, collected car...Skoda are investigating. Under warranty, and in this day and age sat nav is imho a safety issue (ie if it stops working in the middle of a busy city). So let's see...

Skoda Superb iV 2020...Every five to ten minutes my radio/sat nav/infotainment shuts down and restarts. Takes a minute or so. At first I thought it was updating (I have the e-sim internet pack) but it's a regular thing now - so predictable I was able to video it. Only started last month (I've changed nothing), but today it's in the garage to get sorted. Service have just rung to say Skoda say 'never seen this before' which is a pretty usual response - so anyone else had it please?

Same issue with iV power flap at front...resolved with judicious use of a kettle of warm water.

Aha...many thanks.

Has anyone managed to remove the blanking plate which is now in the glove box where the old SD / CD player was? As pictured its there if you have the new MIB3 radio...frankly I miss the ability to use SD and my own SIM card. Whatever! One of my few gripes is that the Superb glove box is small and I was hoping for extra space...but I can't remove it, and this week my garage (in for first service on iV) said they couldn't either.

Thanks both, won't work when charging , or just battery, box ticked to allow this, on various charges to100 %. I can lock/unlock car etc...just this function is fouling.

One appeal of the iV is the ability to remotely start windscreen heating and car heat through the Skoda Connect app om Android phone. It worked when I first got (and tested) my L&K Combi, but not now...when it's needed. Phone app continually returns 'not successful, try again' after a couple of minutes. App itself is connecting to car (I can see real time data such as charge and lock status). Any ideas?

If you replace, and have a camera (traffic assist, dynamic cruise control) the camera will need recalibrating. Autoglass say they can do it, but mine ended up going back the dealer three times with errors coming up. Insurance paid but it was a faff.

Is it every time? It may be linked to catalytic regeneration?

Could be model specific...mine do this on an L&K iV. What does the dealer say?

Skoda Customer Services are both dishonest and inefficient. You've total sympathy, but it comes down to dealers. Ours in the New Forest is fab, not just for owners but as part of the community. Part of your difficulty is having two dealers involved...I'd hammer the Derby end and find a time when they can take the car and fix it. Otherwise get an independent engineer report, and go through small claims court. But not all dealers are like that you describe.

Clever people, technologists, ICE buffs - help please. Just got our new iV L&K. Lovely car, sat on the drive through CVid19, so playing and continuing the set up. Very different to our previous Mk3 L&K - took me ages for example to work out the seat settings - buttons are the same but previously you held down the memory button and the number you wanted...now hit one after the other. That was halg an hour wasted! And totally foxed by the Columbus system. Spec'd the phone charger option for purchase (in case it's relevant, there is no other ICE option such as Premium WLAN). In the glovebox there is now a blank plate where the old CD, SD Card, SIM car went in for Columbus on the previous car. But I have activated web via the eSIM so that's fine, we've got connectivity and can set up a hot spot and so on. Now want to put music onto the built in storage (which I assume it still has...). Have a load of albums (11Gb) on a USB stick, I can put the USB stick in the USB socket by the phone charger, and it plays on the system, sees the albums and so on. But I want to transfer this onto the Columbus storage as I could before (from SD card, but as I say no SD card slot...). Does anyone know how, what settings, where in the menu please? There is not a word about this in the manual (book or on-line). If I remove the USB, it does seem to show storage - but of course it's empty so it simply says 'no tracks available'. I'm feeling very stupid. Or by paying more for the WLAN option have I actually downgraded my system - no CD/DVD, SIM, SD Card, internal storage? Daft if I have and should have been told of this I feel!

Colleagues, three exhuberant post football lads in the back had resulted in a broken rear passenger air vent (air outlet between the front seats, above the temp control and cigarette lighter). It pulls out, that's one piece of good ness and the light wire is simple to unclip. Also none of the broken bits fell inside. Does anyone know the part number please...or where I can find it? Any recommendations for a good source?
