Hello folks,

I am a new Skoda owner and largely quite happy with me well cared for 2015 Fabia SE L 1.2L automatic.

But I have one issue, the solution to which totally eludes me.

The infotainment system is obviously quite dated but I am happy enough with it having Bluetooth, as my previous car lacked this.

However, when connecting to my Android phone, I am having all sorts of issues, namely:

• Often, but not always, the car auto plays music from my phone on starting up the car, even when there has been no music playing for a long time (hours). This occurs with various audio apps

• Now, again quite sporadically, when I have Google Maps directing me, following an instruction ("take the second exit"), music starts playing after the instruction from Maps. This is even more infrequent but still happens numberous times per journey

I appreciate it's quite an old model, so I've tried adjusting my phone Bluetooth's AVRCP version. Also tried to create "routines" to mute music when connecting to Bluetooth, pause music, and then increase the volume - again, this doesn't work consistently.

Any support appreciated! Hoping I am not forced to get a new infotainment system to resolve the problems.

VIN of your car or part number and software version of your infotainment unit?

You have the most recent firmware so I'm afraid there is no solution - unless you want to retrofit the infotainment reader with another, capable of Android Auto and Apple CarPlay.

Thanks for letting me know.

Do you know if there would be any settings to adjust to help with the issues? Or is it just a case of the system being outdated, so these kinds of things inevitably happen?

Unfortunately I don't have any change logs so I am not able to answer your question :(

Ok, thanks nonetheless!
