Hi all,

My 2025 Kamiq has an MIB3 Headunit and is updated using a USB Flash Drive. The instructions say leave the Flash Drive plugged in and it will update while driving and if you stop before the update is complete it will continue where it left off next time you drive the car. Hence, how do you know when the update is fully completed?

TIA

Hello, as far as I know, this update method is for maps. Updates via USB with data and meta folders are complete when the word “resume” appears. For maps, it is important to activate the navigator to start and, when finished, the navigation database will be more recent.

First check the privacy setting. Ensure you are "visible" to the big computer in Germany.

Now navigate to check for update, if there are any available there should be an App update button on one of the 3 main menu screen. If not from Vehicle select settings and then updates.

You'll either get a message (after a long pause) telling you that you are up to date or a message offering updates.

Note that if there is more than one then they may not all install immediately, sometimes it takes 2 or 3 restart cycles. Also not all updates will install when the car is moving so you may have to stop and apply the handbrake or simply have the ignition on but the engine off.

As I'm in Australia I don't believe I can do OTA Updates and they must be done via a dealer. Map Updates are find using USB.

The dealer is always an option. The OTA update requires that Skoda have a contract in place with at least one mobile operator in your region.

Note: does not matter if your mobile phone connects to your provider, the car is capable of connecting on its own in some territories and Skoda pays for the data download to the car. If the car cannot connect then the little world symbol in the infotainment will either not be present or will be grey and not white.

Also if no OTA available only the dealer will know if an update is needed. Your car has no way of knowing if it can't communicate with the big computer in Germany. (OK you can also look at software version and ask if is current one.)
