Hi folks,

New member here. I have tried searching but am just getting confused.

This message has appeared on my Columbus screen.

" software download-source activated, searching for SWL image"

No buttons are working and today I have a flat battery🙈

My question is if I can get the correct software update DVD will this fix the problem? I have read about files and burning them to DVD but I'm afraid this is beyond me. Any help appreciate

I sent you download link in PM. Pls do not use DVD but CD-R.

Thank you so much, I'll get my son on to it

Are there any instructions on how to install this?

Burn it as iso image and just insert into the slot

Great, last question, does ignition need to be on or car running?

Got the update done, all went well. Thanks @pab567

As I had read, updating the software has wiped the maps and now asks to insert maps DVD. I believe the last version is v17?

I went online and checked a couple of sat nav stores who list the DVD but their last reviews were about 10yrs ago so I am wary. Can anyone recommend a trusted current supplier of the DVD?

Many thanks.

Yes, V17 is the latest version, it was released I belie in 2018 or 2019.

I have 2014 Yeti - Columbus infotainment system stuck in boot loop, never gets beyond Skoda Navigation splash screen. <> SETUP key combination makes it ask for SWL-CD. Does anyone have software or link that will run on this system?

Hello - I have just come across this listing as the same thing happened to my Skoda this morning ‘Software upgrade message on Columbus screen and a flat battery’.

Wondering if @pab567 or @pat339 can assist with the download link?

Much appreciated! 🙏

Need part mumber of your Columbus first - remove it and check on thr label, something like 3TO O45 680 C
