Hi everyone,

I’m having problems with my infotainment freezing, especially after the new 2025/2026 map update. During a cold boot, maps take about 30–45 seconds to load, and DAB takes around 1–2 minutes to initialize. If I do anything else, like putting the car in reverse or navigating through the menu, the system freezes. It’s not instant—I can see the GPS following the maps for a few seconds, and then everything stops and freezes.

Firmware and everything else is up to date (1440 AIO from MIBSolutions).

Has anyone experienced this problem, and how did you solve it? I’ve read a lot about eMMC degradation or internal SSD issues. Is there a way to fix it? The official Skoda dealer just wants to replace it for €1,500.

So the main question is: Is it fixable with software reflashing (clearing a bad cache or something), or does the eMMC/SSD need to be replaced?

I saw @pab567 mentioned a lot on the forum, but I can’t PM you because I’m new 😁

Part number: Columbus 565035021E
VIN: TMBJH9NP3K7075373
Car: Skoda Superb 3V5 2019 2.0 TDI

Forgot to add: when I forcefully restart the unit by holding the power button for 10 seconds, it usually boots normally while driving. I haven’t tried using the rear camera in reverse after the reboot yet.

It seems this is your factory installed unit - why have you used modified firmware instead of original one?

I recommend you make a full reflash:

1. Enable "developer mode"

2. Restart the unit

3. Insert SD crad with original firmware

4. Go to Service Menu and select Manual SWDL

5. Insert SD

6. Select All

7. Start update

Hi,

Already had official 1440 flashed on but it was the same.

I forgot to tell my previous steps.

I was on 1382 firmware when it started and it became way worse when updated maps to 25/26. Then i flashed 1440 from mib solutions (clean version). Everytime i did full factory reset.

DAB initialization is a problem from the start. 1-2 mins till audio starts playing.

I flashed 1440Aio becouse i wanted to try Mib toolbox and inredible bash 😅

Will try again again and flash official FW.

Ok so i flashed the firmware you sent me through swdl. The problem is still there. If i turn on the rear camera too fast or change radio stations afterwards the system freezes. Its not instant freeze. I can still se maps moving and then after few seconds it stops and freezes.

Any other advice?
