I had so many spontaneous reboots this week with even 4 occurring on the same day that the infotainment system was practically unusable. That’s why I decided to go ahead and install 1941 yesterday.

Hi all. Maybe this will give some of you guys some hope. I copied this message from German FB group from a respectable source. Translation might be a little bit off since this is FB automatic t

No, with the specific original file.    I will post the link. I don't know if it is OK by the forum rules. If it isn't please tell me to delete it immediately.  Update size is almost 10

Bought it.. Before install I change Climate to OFF and Auto Start-Stop to OFF..

 

Then all went smoth.. it takes about 25min..

 

After update my phone connect and give hotspot to my car and minor updates were automatically found - almost instant..

 

PS. Infortaiment is compared to 1941 super smooth and fast..

Has the problem with media apps not starting up properly in Android Auto been resolved?

For me personally I cannot see any point in updating immediately - when the OTA update presents itself then I’ll accept it but for now “If it an’t broke…..”.


Version 1941 has proved to be a very solid software release, is smooth and quick to respond so what’s the motivation to update - it’s not like I’ll suddenly get a whole host of new features.

Andoid Auto media app bug is a big one that I'd like to see fixed.

Fair point if they have fixed that - I’m on Apple CarPlay O that bug doesn’t affect me but if it did I would likely be more keen to update.

Never had that kind problem ever.. As I understand working of car infortaiment OS this can not be the Skoda or any other VAG group problem but problem only on the phone on which AA is running..

Infortaiment do not control how graphics rendering is working and if apps is running correctly under AA which is completly other independent OS. Infortaiment only supply audio/video passthrue to itself.. all other is guilty of AA..

Does 1969 load faster at first start of the car too? I like 1941 compared to all previous versions but the time it takes to load when car awakes is sometimes just ridiculous.

I’m curious how Skoda roll out the OTA updates.  Obviously they would do it in waves but what criteria do they apply that dictates when a specific car is offered the update?  Also, what happens if, at the time, you decline the update - do you go to the back of the queue?

 

Likely no one actually knows the answers to these questions apart from the relevant Skoda team responsible for the roll out.

From what I read before, only cars with newer hardware are capable of receiving such OTA updates. Like, cars with H56 (build year 20-21) might not have any such updates at all and only way is to install them via USB. So far I haven't seen anyone proving this to be wrong.

I’m not so sure of that - my understanding is that all Mk4 Octavia’s in territories that support OTA updates are capable of receiving them.  Mine is a First Edition and regularly gets updates OTA.

System updates via USB only. App updates are done by ota.

System updates since the version prior to 1941 have been available OTA as long as a Primary user has been assigned to the vehicle.  I am not aware of any limitations based on the hardware fitted on the earlier versions of the Mk 4.  I would be interested in other owner’s experience.

Never received system OS update via OTA in 3 years.. allways manual update.. in other words.. if new update is ON why then nobody receive new system OS update via OTA, only small fixes..?

Version 1941 would have been the first system update that was offered OTA, so the new system update should be offered OTA.  However it seems pretty arbitrary when your vehicle is offered the update.

Hi,

 i just did the update to the 1969 version. 

Finished successfully. I didn't get to see anything about the new version, I just installed it.

I will update as soon as I use it for a few hours and I have impressions.
