Hello fellow Skodan's!

 

Started driving a brand new 2020 Octavia Combi with the TSI 1.0 110HP. Very impressed with performance, and fuel economy! 

 

I am having the smallest display option (8"). It has the Android Play software on it but the car is too new for the dealer to know how to enable it. They say I should be able to do that using the skoda app after march 2021.

 

I am ok with paying for it if needed but right now I am told they simply cannot do it since it is not done in the dealership anymore (like in the mk3s) but instead enabling these extra modules may migrate to skoda app.

 

Has anyone managed to do this yet?

Any leads?

Title change

I meant Android Auto not Android Play lol.

I have no idea how to edit the topic title on this forum.

If you're on the mobile site then it's the 3 dots on the upper right of your post. For a title change it has to be done on the first post and as a non Freedom member, within a certain time frame.

 

I've changed the title this time though. 

Thanks John! 

As an update from Skoda: as of June 2021, this is still not possible. They say the factories are working very slowly and the software teams have not gotten around to writing the software needed to enable the extra features on our cars. So if you want to get a Skoda Octavia iv with Android Auto enabled, you need to do so from the factory. You cannot yet enable it after you buy it. They say it may be another 6-9 months before this may become available. They told me to call back in 2022! This is disappointing to say the least.
