2017 Yeti 1.2 Outdoor, whilst trying to select some radio stations the the touch screen doesn’t work !

any ideas ?

Is it just radio stations that the screen has a problem with?

Yes that’s all I use, I could never get on with the sat nav !

How about using it to see if it's just the radio station logos or areas of the screen!

Just remembered touch screen works for phone use

Try forcing a reboot of the entertainment system by holding the power button down until the Skoda logo appears, should take around 10 seconds.

 

I need to do this at least once a week because the touchscreen becomes totally unresponsive regardless of what I'm trying to do with it - something about the DAB antenna having a ground fault according to the diagnostic tool.

Muppix, no didn’t work, it rebooted but no difference 😕

Hi Paco,

I’ve just fixed our one. 

On our 2017 Yeti outdoor the centre of the screen (top to bottom) wasn’t responsive, the visuals were still there but the touch part didn’t work. I tried all the tricks but in the end decided they touch panel was broken. Just over week ago I bought a new touch panel on EBay For about £50 and connected it last night and hey presto, it works. 
we had been quoted over £500 for a new stereo or up to £300 to repair the old one so I figured it was worth taking a chance with £50. 
Feel free to message me if you need advice in the fitting as I almost removed the old touch screen when you are meant to leave it attached. 

Paco, was this a 2nd hand purchase or did you find a supplier???

Jamieframer, looks like I have the same problem as you have had.

Can't get the satnav to work as the letters disappear from the screen.

Just been quoted £500 + for a repair. 

Not going down that road, so will check out the replacement screen thingy. 

Can you point me to the item number for ebay,

Ta.

Just a follow up question here.

Has anyone been in touch with Skoda customer services & vented there frustration respects these VW group radio satnavs?

The car, yes now six years old, has a faulty radio unit that costs 100 of £ to have repaired because of a known fault in their equipment.

Just tried this on mine for a journey I need to make tomorrow and it seems to have worked! Fingers crossed it still works tomorrow morning when I set off. 🤞

It did work, so that was a big help in getting there on time. Thanks again for the tip. 😉
