I am having difficulty getting this to work now. I’ve already been through the verify ID process and in the past it is worked via the app okay. I know that the app was updated fairly recently so perhaps it’s linked that is anyone else having problems with it? It says sending unlock/lock request a vehicle but then just times out as per attachments

Anyone else still having issues with this? The advice I’ve had from Skoda customer services is to take the car in for another software update? Not really sure that’s the answer as it’s just had the latest software update to sort the mapping out? I have also had one or two over the air updates through the infotainment but it still has not made any difference. Most odd as it was working okay in the past

While I appreciate that this isn't even remotely helpful, I've given up wondering why the technology used in cars is about five years behind that which is commonplace - and virtually fault-free - in mobile phones. It's not as if they haven't got the money to throw at it, after all.

 

My car won't do remote destination inputs to the satnav even though it's supposed to. Do I need it?

 

No, I don't.

 

I've wasted too much time arranging software updates at the dealership only to have them either not fix it or be withdrawn at the last minute because the boffins at HQ decided that it wasn't the answer after all.

 

Wouldn't be the first time I've hankered for times past when we didn't have all of this stuff, and it won't be the last.

 

Twiddling a knob on a radio to change station or winding down a window to ask for directions wasn't that hard, really.

 

Yours faithfully

I am so glad I bought an MY20 car!

No software bugs at all, everything worked bar the SIM card I bought, but that wasn’t Skodas fault and I don’t need the car to be connected now. Only useful feature I don’t get is traffic live updates.

 

More selection of engines, I could not now buy a 190 ps diesel 4x4, which is a really nice car to drive.
