How to install speedcameras in new kodiaq with mib3.0

Hi All

I just picked up my new Skoda Kodiaq 2021 Sportline today and is a very happy camper...

 

However I would very much want to add speedcameras into the Columbus mib 3.0 system.

So how is that done??

 

There are no SD card reading capability on the car but simply a usb-c (ie not ordinary usb...)

 

Could it be added by a portal??

 

I have installed the MySkoda app but I cant see that it could be used for this..

 

So any ideas please help out...

I have downloaded the speedcam fles and images from a db so I have that..but how to get it inoto Kodiaq correctly??

I live in Sweden

Best regards and a happy new year.

Hi M, here is the link that is used in Soda Kodiaq UK: https://www.scdb.info/en/?fbclid=IwAR3I53AVoWSXWIjgVA7rjHOkPOs0MUy3BNk7R4-ESg2mQQ0qkrB8ZVHerKo

I subscribed, and it works a treat. I have MIB2.0 though (MY2020).

Hi Alan

Yes I got my speed cam list there as well. However how do I import them to my Kodiaq?? I have the latest Columbus navigation which means MIB3..

And I gotta say that for me MIB2 was a lot easier to understand...in MIB3 they have stripped away a lot of functions that I thought was very good..and added a more (I suppose) stripped down interface..

Just one thing amongst others I don't find that was in MIB 2 is that I can't get a view in view on the navigation..meaning when Im to take off from a highway in MIB2 I could do config so a smaller view appeared which showed exactly where to turn off=super useful..

Another thing I can't find is how I set the system up so I can use my iPhones 4G network if I want to download things or use Skoda Connect services like weather and such...So I sort of suspect that its impossible and that they instead made it possible to purchase data packages for that purpose..

And also..in MIB2 it was rather ok to download POI from portal to the car..mut for MIB3 I still have not found out how it actually can be done..

Then again its my second day of owning my Kodiaq so..

Anyway thanks for your help and hope you get a great new years eve..and a happy new year as well..

Cheers Micael

I have now asked my reseller of Skoda, who sold me the Kodiaq.

And he said that they have asked but no one seem to know at this point in time. In fact he thought that perhaps the forum here may be the best place to find a solution on this...

So anyone that have tried on Columbus mib 3?

 

I also have asked Skoda on facebook but no answer yet..

Is there any other way of getting answers to complex technical questions like this?? Ant place more that I could ask?

Best regards Micael

Not familiar with latest Columbus, but first search the settings if there is a possibility to download personal POI-s.

Hi that's just it...I can't find such a function in mib3...

In my 2019 Tiguan with columbus and mib2 there was a function "manage memory" which I used to import personal POI from the vw portal...

But now with mid 3 and Columbus I haven't found such function or possibility...But Im assuming I haven't looked at the right place since mid 3 should not be with less function then mid 2 (at least one would think right..)..
However right now Im a bit lost of what more I could try or as to what Im missing out on regarding this..

Made quick googling and seems that there is no way to import personal poi-s to mib3 headunit. Strange.

What info did you find on that??

And if so..however where they thinking???

So now I need to bring my Garmin into the Skoda....and that even though I paid for getting the onboard navigation....

Im not as happy with my first Skoda as I would have hoped due to this...and I guess its the same all VW with mid 3 then..

Use Waze and Android Auto instead. All speedcams and coppers on screen.

You paid for onboard navigation -yes. And you received the onboard navigation. So what's your problem?

 

What you want to do is alter that navigation. Skoda or VW Group haven't done anything wrong so no point in being unhappy with them.

 

All manufacturers are going down this route. This article may be of interest.

I've experienced the same thing with MIB3 vs MIB2. My mate has a MY20 Kodiaq with MIB2 and has functions that we don't have in the 'newer' MIB3.

 

As above, I'm sure that they are pushing people to use carplay/android auto, that way, they don't have to spend the $$ on developing MIB3 as much as they used to have. One good thing is you should now have wireless charging and wireless CP/AA, which seems to be the only bonus (would be good if they could change the dash so that it takes a small map from AA/CP).

 

I've never understood why people will pay for onboard navigation.   I guess in the "old" days it was more integrated (but performed worse) than a dedicated unit, so depending on where you were on the performance/style curve, there was a reason.  I always went for a dedicated solution as valued performance.

 

These days though, why wouldn't you just use Android Auto/Apple Car play?

 

Best of both worlds and cheaper to boot.

No no. Onboard navigation is a gold milking goat. Even the annual map update cost has dropped from 300 to 40 euros, they still make tons of money on it.

If you wanted some extra features you had to buy top model headunit. Navigation just comes with it.

And it`s easyer to follow if you have virtual cockpit. I use both of them, mostly Waze though.

Apple CarPlay looks rubbish on the 8" screen compared to the 9.2" due to Apple's display scaling.

Well of course you are free to view it like that and I can even understand that point of view.

However..I have been driving 3 years with my VW Tiguan 2019 with mib2...And I gotta say that Im a bit surprised that mib 3 have less function than mib 2 on the Columbus navigation system...

And I can assure you that that was not in the description...

Besides the lack of function to import personal POI..(which exist and work perfectly in mib 2) the mib 3 Columbus also lack the "View in View" function that would open a separate window when turning of highway or similar and shows the road signs really clear (and yes that also worked perfect in mib 2)

In general I can now say after a few days driving that the Columbus mib 3 have been stripped of some functions that gave good info in mib 2...Like when your closing up to a departure your view in view window would show you more info leading up to the departure..

The mib 3 Columbus simply shows an arrow pointing in the direction that you shall turn off to and the name of the new road..Which could be good enough I suppose...

But the thing is that - that is the way it looked on the first portable navigator I purchased some 15 years ago...

So in my meaning if you develop mib 3...you will get mib 2...a bit strange to me...

 

Having said all that mib 3 have some new things...like that you can set the cruise control to follow the speed on the road signs (so you don't need speed cams right...) however driving today testing that it was rather good for a while..until it didn't work at all since the maps in my Kodiaq (picked up new last week) seem to be to old so the speed on the roadsigns are simply wrong in the navigator...But I like the thought thou so if they get the maps correct that seem like a useful function...

Also the big thing in mib 3 is wireless android auto/apple CarPlay...And to me that's actually the only thing I would like to keep from mib 3...so give me that in mib 2 and I would be a happy camper...

 

And in the end it comes down to that when I buy a new car..and know that the high end navigator have been updated to a new platform..I actually expect it to be able to do ALL that the old one was capable of...and then some...(why else update??)

I also expect it to be more capable then my 8 year old portable Garmin (which it is not at the moment...)

 

But hey that's just me...

Anyway thanks for your feedback and comment..

Have a great new year..

Best regards Micael

Hi so I guess my conclusion is to forget speed cams and navigation using the purchase Columbus mib 3..

 

So what is the best to use instead?? 

I have an iPhone 8...so what app would be best to use to get great navigation and also speedcams?? (Im located in sweden)

And is there something I need to configure?

No only always updated road maps, but speed cams, police hinding in the bushes, mouses walking in the ditches etc.

There might be some speedcam apps available, but no one really uses them anymore.

 

Thanks super..Ive downloaded it now...and will try it...

 

Is there any way I can get speed cams into Apples Maps as well?

Not an apple user. But Waze will do all the job you need. It has almost the same functionality as Google Maps has - search by names, companies,  etc etc. Only thing that is bit off is search for petrol stations (maybe some other POI-s as well, don`t know). Seems they prefer the ones that had paid for advertisement.

Ok thanks..as stated I will try Waze out...By the way is one supposed to create an account for it as well or just download and use?

If you ccreate an account, you can have favorites and home and work addresses and travel history. Does not cost anything :)

But I guess you can use it also without registration.
