Does this work? New Kodiaq sel exec. Connected to internet via phone. However, whenever I try to start internet radio by searching for stations, I get an "internet radio is currently unavailable. Please try later" message. Connect is enabled. Thanks.

Yes I have an MIB3 unit in my LK and it works fine. But it’s nothing to do with the Connect service. You need to have signed up to the data deal to get the internet in the car. You can then access the online stations and podcast and save them as shortcuts etc. Alternatively you can reconfigure the operation to access via a home home WiFi on your drive. I should think you can also set up your own mobile as a hotspot and use that internet - but this will disable the esim in the car for connected services

I understand OP is getting internet through his mobile phone.

If you have phone connected to car via USB cable, disconnect it first. DAB radio glitch, not only on VAG cars.

 

 

Not internet radio, but the DAB reception on both Kodiaqs I have owned is shocking.

I tried this. I disconnected the internal sim by activating wifi and logged into my home internet. I could now access internet radio. I started playing a station and it worked. But I don't spend a lot of time in the car outside my house. I logged off and went back to the internal sim and the regular internet connection via my phone. No internet radio.

The WiFi on the drive check just reassures you the internet radio does work at least but as you hardly of any use. However as I said previously I think you can only access on the go in a seamless way when you have purchased an infotainment data package from Cubix. Sadly You no longer have the option to insert your own data sim on the MIB3 units. I should think you should be able to link it to a mobile hotspot as an internet source but I seem to remember this disables the inbuilt esim and cuts off other services

 

you can of course use an internet radio app on CarPlay or Android Auto

As a work around and for me a much better solution, I recommend the Radio Paradise app which allows you to download an unlimited amount of music into your phone's cache and then play it off line.
