I have just taken delivery of my sixth Skoda, a 10 month old Enyaq 85 having owned a Karoq for the previous six years.

Technology has moved on a bit in those six years and the few annoying infotainment issues I had with the Columbus on my Karoq have been magnified 10 fold with the complexity and apparently poor intuitive nature of the Ver 4.0 system in the Enyaq.

1. I found out the hard way that any music files have to be stored on a USB C enabled flash stick rather than SD Card. This seems a backward step as the flash stick has to stay connected in an exposed area.

2. It will now only play my music files in alphabetic/folder order rather than random

3. I set up the My Skoda Connect to reflect the outgoing Karoq and Incoming Enyaq. This worked for about 20mins and then I got an email telling me it had deleted the Enyaq???

4. The online owners manual is a waste of time for any infotainment related issues and the online tutorials aren't much better.

I would consider myself relatively up to date on technology and assumed that human machine interface on a new car would be straightforward. I wonder how some owners get on if they aren't familiar with modern systems???

Overall though, the car is a huge step up from ICE and the Karoq.
Power is amazing albeit a heavy right foot uses lots of battery.
The quality and driving experience are also extremely good.
Interior space is massive.
Matrix headlights are outstanding

I'm waiting on Octopus to give me a date for the installation of an Ohme Pro wallbox (I have read numerous horror stories on this regard)

welcome to the Enyaq, I am on my 2nd, best cars I have ever owned. I think the USB thing is because most people don't do that any more, they just stream everything, I must admit I have an SSD from my Tesla days with all my music on it. Do I use it? not really. Can't help with the other points as I haven't encountered them before. If you want some tips on how to get better efficiency then check out my youtube channel www.youtube.com/@enyaq_gorm I did a couple of videos recently whcuh seem to be very popular with people goign by the viewing figures. 

 

Newbie too.

 

I have a usb stick in mine and it does play random

 

 

I have managed to resolve all of the minor niggles I had with the vehicle over the first five days of ownership.

A mix of YouTube help videos, time sat in the driveway and a £6 USB-C memory stick from Amazon have sorted things.

 

My only very minor issue that I am left with is an inability to turn off the Easy Access seat function.

I am over 6ft tall and don't need this function but it seems that you can only switch off Easy Access if your Enyaq has electric seats for both driver and passenger.

My car only has an electric driver seat.
