Skoda Octavia MK3 2.0tsi petrol estate - infotainment screen (with Canton) locking.

Featured Replies

Hello all

My 2918 VRS estate with Canton sound upgrade, infotainment screen keeps locking. I have to turn it off and on again (push main button for ages) to get it to reset.

Is the a proper hard reset I can try?

Thank you

Andy

Is that a Canton system with an Amunsden or Columbus system? I would first try a factory reset; then speak to @pab567 about firmware (once you've identified your system) and then take it from there....

Thank you. I’ll do some looking and post back.

Okay, I've looked at the build sheet for my car which says

Radios I8F Standard radio (Gen2 GP)

and there is an untitled entry that says

RA3 "SOUND SYSTEM CANTON" (10 loudspeakers, digital equalizer, subwoorfer)

but nothing to tell me which brand.

I've tried Google and looking at images but can't work out what I have.

Date of production was 15/12/2017 if that is any help?

Or can I just take a picture, so one of you can identify it?

Thank you


Andy

PS - apologies for the typing errors in my initial post, I'm very upset with myself!

Amundsen & Columbus are not brands, they are different models of the infotainment system.

If the in-built sat nav needs an SD card inserted to work then you have an Amundsen, if the glovebox unit has a CD/DVD drive and the maps are stored internally on a hard drive then you have a Columbus.

I'm at work but will obviously look later. This is from the build sheet again:-

Attribute Description

CD-ROM/DVD/SD card 7RE SD card (Europe)

Thank you

Andy
