Skoda Yeti 2015 L&K Amundsen player

Help!

Just after my warranty on my Yeti ran out I suddenly got a message "emergency update - insert disc" then "disc not found" which repeated over and over until the battery went flat.

I took it to two dealers who said needs a new head unit. £1000.

I read that someone took their car in to a dealer in the midlands and they repaired it.

I've seen a similar post to this before so I'm wondering if the problem has been sorted and it is possible to get this update.

Failing this has anyone got any suggestions to fix without spending so much? I heard that another unit has to be keyed to the car.

Strange as the 2015 Amundsen II does not have a disk.

Sorry it has 2 memory cards, the left one for MP3 music and the right for the map drive. It may also be an Amundsen 1. I don’t know the difference. 

So, two SD memory cards, Amundsen2.

Left Free Choice SD Card for Music & Images, Right Official Skoda Navigation SD Card (ref nos. like CW 45/2015 or CW 48/2019)

Presumably you have had them working at some stage?

Could the cards have been removed and inadvertently switched around ?

 

Yes it worked perfectly for about 4 years. I started the car one day and that’s when I got the emergency update message. The radio system hasn’t worked since. I’ve had the car from new in 2015 and it’s now done 42k miles, has never let me down and apart from a cam belt and air conditioning repair it runs perfectly apart from this radio problem and I’m determined to sort it so any advice is most welcome as my wife’s advice to just buy a new car is giving me tinnitus! I love my yeti!

Maybe a solution?

So it ceased to work in 2019.

Maybe it doesn't really bother you that much?

As your radio also has not worked either, think 'back to source'.

Undo the aerial and check for rust/water which might be the cause of no signal getting to the head unit.

 

(or you could buy SWMBO a new car....think how many points you would score)

Satnav, hands free, music, nothing works. If I plug it back in it will say emergency update please insert disc. Disc not found over and over until the battery runs flat. Can’t switch it off. My first yeti was stolen and I tried a lot of alternatives but I came back to buy another one so another car is not an option. 

sent me a picture of the screen and of the sticker on the unit. Make sure its a clear picture so i can read all the texts on it. Perhaps i can help

That’s it. It then just blanks out and in a few moments it repeats.
