I just noticed on a German forum that there is another owner how is booked in for the same update, 5FMIB3OI1806, on 27th of July. Currently has a device part number ending with B and SW version 1668.

What is interesting is both the German owner and @VAGProfhad rev. B and 1668.
I do wonder if anyone with rev A would be able to get it too or if more work is required for rev A.
 

I booked my RS (mid November manuf. date) for the "June OCTAVIA upgrade" for next Tuesday. I'm currently on rev. C, sw version 1668. Hopefully this is the one that fixes my bluetooth and WAA issues. 

 

I'll post an update next week. 

I have mine spot booked on next tuesday, will also report...

 

@RRovan which dealer did you book with? I am at spc skerjanec. 

@Soko1982, at Avtohiša Klemenčič.

Just picked up my RS and I'm still on software 1668 with device part number 5E3035816C, which tells me the magic update mentioned in this thread is not yet widely available. Better luck in 4kkm, when I'll take it in for an oil change. 

In my case, I have delayed the update for early September ... If I book now the update I am truly sure that I would get the same upgrade as @RRovan here in France.

same here...car was updated, but hardware device part no. remains same C as does the SW 1668. Better luck next time  

The last I've heard is that it will be released on week 30. so next week. 

A little more patience, the update is on it's way!

Any news on this update?

Bumping to follow this topic, when this update is available in the UK for units ending in B, Im calling the dealer!

@VAGProf, any more news about this. My car is in the garage today but they still claim wireless AA does not work on any Octavia... I see you're also from Belgium, at which dealer did you get the update to 1806?

Mines just gone in, got a loan superb IV, not a plug in so not happy but I can discuss the fuel situation with them once they update me tomorrow. 

 

Of course android auto wireless worked straight away just to rub it in 

 

Would anyone be kind enough to do a short video of their Octavia iv running android auto wirelessly, something that shows nothing connected to the USB sockets? 

I'm not doubting anyone, I just want some evidence when I get told it doesn't work on any octavia. 

An update on mine ..

 

Apparently, Skoda are adamant there's no wireless android auto in the MK4 Octavias, never has been and it's never been advertised. 

 

I've got some research to do tonight, i need to find as much evidence as i can to prove otherwise.

Page 134.  Seems fairly clear to me there that it should be.

Absolutely and i've already showed my dealer that but, what they're saying is that the manual is irrelevant, they need to see an actual brochure that advertised it as an option.

Page 12, its their own brochure direct from the configurator.  Its advertised as a feature now for entry level SE cars.  This may prove an issue for me as I distinctly remember the brochure when I bought mine that it was AA via USB only, but if others are getting features like this enabled in updates then I damn sure want mine done too!

Mines an SE L which is annoying, it doesn't mention AA at all??

As far as the brochure goes, everything on the SE L is included as well as whats listed for the SE (unless this is upgraded then it will also state this).

I did think that, unfortunately they're new brochures though so i think i might have to admit defeat on this one. I've just found an old brochure and all it says is ... 

 

> SMARTLINK (INCLUDES ANDROID AUTO & MIRRORLINK)

And effective from 3rd November 2020, which would apply to mine 

 

ENTERTAINMENT AND COMMUNICATION

> VIRTUAL COCKPIT WITH 10.25" DISPLAY

> WIRELESS SMARTLINK FOR APPLE CARPLAY*

> SMARTLINK (INCLUDES ANDROID AUTO AND MIRRORLINK)

This is from the brochure that applied here in Australia when I bought my car back in May 2021.

And also, it does actually work in my car.

I guess it does actually show that the brochures are correct, they only advertised it as having wireless android auto once it was actually available. 

Just arrived from the garage and I can confirm: System ref updated from B to F and software version from 1666 to 1806. For the time being, only tested wireless android auto connection and works fine.  

can you also specify built date of your car?
