Answer from Skoda CZ

 

"We have confirmed that some Volkswagen, SKODA and SEAT vehicles are not connecting to some Android OS mobile phone models and Android Auto.

 We are working on updating the car kit's SW to resolve the issue. Once this is completed, we will share details on how affected users can update their SW.

 Actually, we are not able to tell when exactly the update will be available. We expect the release this year.

 Thank you for bearing with us while we work to resolve this issue."

If you get an update on that, would you mind sharing it here? Thanks.

 

Update, tested on Seat ibiza 2022, and it WORKS with S23 Ultra, even without cable. So Skoda you have the answer on Seat's software.

 

 

I have notified Skoda that Seat "has the answer". Not sure how fast will they be in developing an update.

It seems we get closer :

 

Those are finally good news.

 

I purchased skoda fabia this month just to find out that AA is not working with my S23 ultra. But my fiancés cheap xiaomi is working without a problem 😀😪

 

Can you please let us know when you have some news regarding this matter?

 

Thank you. Vlad

S22 Ultra was not even in the list and now says supported with Android 12, also from S23 series we see S23+ but not compatible yet :

Most likely same issue and same fix, mine has 1760. No update i'm afraid Skoda has answered me that the update will be released this autumn. And in the begining they said end of summer.:(

BIG NEWS

 

Should be fixed :

If any of you updates let me know of SW version, I currently have 1760, my car dealer has 1790 but unsure if that fixes Android Auto (they say they were not notified), also asked Skoda reg which is the version that fixes this.

I will come back with updates.

Skoda does not want to specify version number  😡

 

 

It is like Area 51, my car dealer says they do not have the update. So the update exists but you can't get it 😞

 

Friday I am scheduled to visit the car dealership. I will keep you updated.

Also I found a Wireless Smartlink activation license from Skoda that can be activated  in the car dealership for about 61 EUR.

Will let you know if works,

My car is now in service, will let you know. I was notified on my Youtube video that it is confirmed version on cable with version 1800 (currently 1760).

Also waiting for Wireless Smartlink activation, license ordered by dealer.

I have updated my Bolero in Škoda service to version 1800 and finaly successfully upgraded Smartlink to wireless. With versions 1790 and 1798 it wasn't possible to do Smartlink upgrade, infotainment didn't accept coding. Also problems with Samsung S23 have been solved.

They spent half a year inventing functional software. I have no words.

Working via cable with 1800 version. Dealer activate wireless version of Smart link as well but i cannot connect my S23 Ultra, have connected to the wireless hotspot of the car (did not had option on version 1760) but cannot connect wirelessly.

Dealer manage to connect wirelessly with Iphone 13 Pro.

 

So do you have it working on Android ? First image if i click to connect wireless i get an error, second is from phone menu, with phone connected only via BT,

Fixed wireless as well, needed to pair phone again, I got a prompt to use Android Auto and it works flawlesly :).

Here it is

 

 

 

 

I do not want to open a  new topic as it is related. If not I will ask the moderators to notify me.

I now use a S24 Ultra and same setup as before Scala+Bolero+Soft version 1800. Lately it disconnects from Wireless random.

Tested with both Maps and Waze, it simply disconnects and in 3-5 seconds it can be seleted again on the car screen.

 

Phone system and apps are up to date.

Notified Skoda via email but they failed to assist :

 

 

And the answer from Skoda :

 

 

Anyone facing similar issues ?

Via USB cable it works flawlessly.

It happened to me, too. As i'm using beta versions of Android Auto I though it was causing it. Last week I was in Austria and there was zero interruption for 3 day. However, on the way back in Germnay I had a 2-3 disconnects during 3 hours drive.

Thank you for your answer, most likely a bug in Skoda software. Very hard to prove, and also for the car dealership to test\replicate.

Skoda just sent me to the dealer

I just bought a Scala 2022 plate and have a samsung S21. I am worried that the android auto won't work so have been reading all these threads. I just contacted today the nearest Skoda dealership to see if they can install the software.. I am wondering however because as this is a bug, would skoda update the software for free?

It should work via cable, it depends if it is active on your car or not, which entertainment and software version you have.

The Wireless Connectivity costs around 60 EURO. As for the software update if any it is up to the car dealer, if for example the software corrects some issues it should not cost, if it brings new features it may cost.
