My swing radio needs to be updated since there is a problem with apple CarPlay. 
 

How can I do this without going to the dealership? 
 

see picture for the current old software version… it’s now 8742 and should be at least 8755 or even newer perhaps…

Thanks for helping me out in advance!!

 

Note; the update button says there is no update available; 

 

So I guess i have to put an usb stick with an update file in the usb connection??

What is your CarPlay problem?

Thanks for the link! 
The problem is there is a disturbing sound after a while… if you press pause it’s gone for a while but it always comes back 

Update succeeded! Thanks!!! 😊 

@pab567 Do you maybe also know how to get the radio logos in? There all empty! 
 

 

Just re-save the stations and they should appear again

They don’t 🤨 Any tips how to solve??? 
Thanks in advance! 
 

If your swing is similar to the early version I have, the station logos are loaded individually from SD card:

 

Station logos

 

The station key of a preferred station can contain the name and the station logo.

Assign a station logo

› Tap on the Radio function surface  → Station logos.

› Tap on an occupied station button and select the data carrier (SD card, USB).

› Search for and select the desired station logo on the respective data carrier.

 

Remove station logo

› Tap on the Radio function surface  → Station logos.

› Tap on the station button from which you want to remove a logo.

› or: Tap on the function  All to delete the logos of all the station buttons simultaneously.

› Confirm / cancel the removal.

 

It's slow and tedious process.

 

Attached is an old UK specific file.

 

You can probably download a current file here:

or even VW or Skoda may have them somewhere.

Address 37 was valid for PQ based cars, e.g. Octavia 2, for Octavia 3 you can connect only to 5F (Infotainment) and Swing has no built-in navigation and as far as I remember does NOT support RVC. Pls share part number or VIN to check.
