Hi, I have a 67 Kodiaq and am having issues with Apple Car Play, music whilst using CarPlay is very glitchy. I’m pretty sure over the air updates will not work due to the age of the car. Can someone advise how I get the software updated. Have tried calling my nearest dealer but it’s impossible to get through to them.

 

Thanks in advance  

Whilst our 2018 (18) plate Kodiaq’s Apple CarPlay works well, I regularly keep on top of the software updates.

 

Why do you not think an over-the-air update would fix the issue? What happens when you press the ‘Update Software’ button? I no longer subscribe to Skoda Connect and the updates still work for me. Presumably it uses the same inbuilt SIM card as the SOS system that doesn’t require a paid subscription.
 

I updated mine only last week, it took a longer journey for it to complete (turning the ignition off paused the update, and rather than continuing from where it stopped, it would start from the beginning each time I restarted the engine). It took about 45 mins.

Hello, and thank you for your reply. When I hit the update button it comes up with the message in the picture. I have finally got through to a Skoda garage, a bit further than I wanted to travel but it is what it is, and it’s booked in for an update on Friday, free of charge so hopefully that will sort out the issue. If not I will be back for more help if I may. 

Update - according to the dealer the software I have is the latest available as it’s a basic system. They have suggested changing the usb port to see if that fixes the problem. Part ordered and I will replace it myself rather than pay the £130 they were charging. Hoping this fixes the issue.
