Hey @varooom, If I'm reading correctly you have access to Skoda software updates.

 

My Skoda Fabia's Carplay works fine, except that callers don't hear me. It is not the microphone as Siri and Bluetooth calls do work, and other phones face the same problem. Maybe a software update will help. Could you help me out? My current specs:

 

• Bluetooth: C190
• Android Auto: S1.3_A8780
• CarPlay: 210.81
• MirrorLink: 8780_ml_2016_11_01
• Device part number: 6V0 035 869H
• Hardware: 696
• Software: 8780

 

Anyone else facing this issue?

 

Kind regards,

Pentelikon

Yes. It appears to be phone specific.

IPhone SE2 with the latest firmware works fine.

IPhone XS works fine with the latest firmware

IPhone 12 suffers the problem you describe

iPhone 16 suffers the problem you describe

 

All iPhones are using the same latest firmware from Apple. The headunit was updated to the 8755 firmware you may see mentioned elsewhere on the forums.

 

I've worked with Skoda, Apple, a car audio specialist here in Perth and @pab567 and the result was the same. 

 

At the moment I use the XS and the iPhone 12 I bought sits in the drawer gathering dust.

 

This community has been great but we all had to accept defeat.

 

Other options I've considered

 

Sell the car and buy one that just works - too expensive

Change out the swing radio - my installer can't find a suitable mount or headunit that retains the car functions

Use a wireless adaptor - bought one - it stopped working after a month

Continue to use the XS iPhone - my current solution
