In that case VC is useless without amundsen :(

  • @Scot5 I really don't know what your problem is ,but you should respect more the other's around you. Furthermore as  a MJ21 Kodiaq MIB 3 Amundsen owner i know what I am talking about. pictur

  • Short answer - no. But if anyone knows how I'd like to know as well!

    Only standard navigation software can show a map on the VC.  ive not seen anyone crack using Waze or Google maps yet.

In my experience until now. Using MIB3, MY21, Columbus, right hand drive car:

 

connect AA wireless to car (using smartlink).

  • AA Maps shown on center console

 

now start navigation to destination in center console

  • AA maps with directions shown in center console
  • In VC you will have two options (on op of voice announcement coming from center console maps):
    • turn by turn announcement (text display) in Skoda map shown in VC
    • turn by turn announcement (text display and visual display) in reduced mode (screen which shows only range and speed)

Hi guys, reviving this topic with a bit of a strange behavior for Waze with VC. I've collected all info I was able to find, and it seems that Waze cannot be displayed directly in VC, I'm ok with that.

 

So I bought my Karoq from dealer show room, it was available on hand and I couldn't add any new options, it came with Bolero Plus package, meaning that the headunit has the same HW with Amundsen but without navigation software, ie Skoda maps. Navigation for it can be bought for 370EUR as a function on demand in  Skoda Connect Shop. The thing is I'm not sure that I want to buy Skoda Maps Navigation since I mostly prefer Waze, but also I really like having directions displayed in VC since on longer trips the central screen is used to play kids cartoons (with AAAD and Fermata Auto). So I have 2 issues with Waze and VC and I'm unable to solve them:

  • first issues - my usual config for VC is with the classic dials, in the left dial I have multimedia info, in the center trip information overview, and on the right I have ACC. In the central display I have Android Auto connected wirelessly. Whenever I set a destination (first time of the day or trip), on the VC in the center I get the message - "Busola nu este momentan disponibila" meaning compass temporarily unavailable, and I have to change screens (either by holding the "views" button on the steering wheel or by hitting back to information category, scroll up/down, and then back to navigation) and then I have the guidance displayed. I get this could be due to the fact that I don't have the navigation software purchased, but it's strange since I have the hardware available.
  • Second issue - is regarding how turn by turn information is displayed visually, this is more comparing Google Maps with Waze. So when using Google Maps indications are displayed OK, roundabouts exits are shown correctly, intersections are shown OK. But when using Waze al roundabouts exists are displayed as a return arrow and streets or indications are not displayed in a readable manner, missing text etc.

Is anyone experiencing the same issues? I have attached some pictures to show how my setup is. I have checked in another topic here in briskoda with a forum member to see if there are software updates for my unit.

I bought FL Kodiaq MK1 (2023) and it has exactly the same behavior with Bolero.
