Hi,

 

Long story short on this one ...

 

Had one of my keys stolen (but not the car) so insurance insisted I change locks and keys.  This was done by the Skoda Dealer.

Since then, the Smartlink, Sat Nav, Bluetooth, Online systems all now no longer work on my columbus (to confirm, all these worked the morning I took the car in).  I didn't check them until I had driven away unfortunately.  The earliest appointment they can fit me in to do a "diagnostic" check (which I may have to pay for, even though they broke it) is a month and a half away.  I'm assuming its something to do with the key reprogramming removing a link between unit and ECU or something?

 

Part No: 565035021E, SW ver: MHI2_ER_SKG13_P4526 (1440)

 

Sat Nav says: "Navigation data in infotainment system not valid. Check data."  Navigation database shows up as N/A in System information.

Smartlink says: "you can activate the function by means of an activation key. Please contact your dealer"

Bluetooth says: "Unable to switch on Bluetooth"

 

in the service menu, Installed Codes, every single one of the Function Enabling Codes states:

"Temporarily rejected"

 

Am I just going to have to wait for the dealer appointment and have no phone, no sat nav and no personal music (i know I can put on SD card etc but its not the point) for a month and a half?  Or is there something I can do with odbeleven (which I own) or can something be done with VCDS to save me waiting and having to listen to god awful commercial radio each day?

 

Thanks,

Stephen.

Quick update, after leaving a crappy review on the Skoda "Would you like to review your experience at Skoda on Tuesday" email service, got a call back from the Assistant Manager yesterday and its being looked at today.  Fingers crossed.

 

Ste.

It does sound like they've messed up the FeC codes on the headunit whilst doing the key coding

 

They should be able to fix it pretty easily once connected to their diagnostic machine.

Yep, all sorted in an hour or two when they picked the car up on Tuesday.
