Picked up my ex-dealer Monte Carlo Edition a few weeks ago after coming from a 2019 Octavia vRS. In general happy with the car, performance is ok, but MPG much improved as you would expect. Cabin is a nice place to be, albeit with a few vibrations that makes it feel like its not as well screwed together as the Octavia....

However the navigation is driving me mad... has sent me off in completely the wrong direction, not told me at all and sailed past, not done anything when selecting find petrol station then sending me back on myself to go back to a station when the junction I turned off of to turn around actually had a station....

Anyway, that is not my main complaint. There seems to be no granular control of the map scale on the steering wheel control. One notch of the dial and the scale goes from 150 feet to 700 feet or even out to infinity. Same when zooming in, a couple of notches and I am down at 50 feet (or whatever the most zoomed is). I am used to one notch equating to one scale i.e 150 to 300 to 700 and so on (scales may no be correct, but you get the idea). I don't think this is an issue with the physical button/dial as it works in other modes fine. Maybe a later software update improves.

It seems I have the 9.2" infotainment and am on:

MOI3GP_EUSKMQB_P516OJ

Also, I have noticed that the nearside rear door speaker is popping and farting, but not repeatable, though does seem to do it more on radio that media. I did wonder if there was a drop in upgraded speaker set from another VAG platform but have not found anything yet. Guess I will be taking it to a dealer to change out the door driver.

Try resetting the infotainment. (You should be able to do this with just the on /off button but this is what I do on all our VAG cars:)

Turn it off using the on off button, ignition off, exit the car, lock the car, wait a little while.

Then re-enter the car, ignition on , infotainment on.

Thanks, will try that. Car went in to dealers, and predictably they could not repeat the speaker issue and suggested that this is the quality level to expect (when compared to our old vRS). But when it does go you can clearly tell its that individual speaker that is farting..... They also said that there is no later version of firmware for the infotainment (which I will take with a pinch of salt).....

Just wanted to update on this. Got so frustrated with the infotainment and the car literally creaking (sounded like it was flexing rather than plastics) that I got rid and got a new Octavia vRS. Sad times as really wanted the Scala to work for me, and was really happy with the performance day to day and MPG.
