I don't use my 2015 Octavia's navigation system (preferring online mapping) and in any case there has never been an SD card in the unit since I bought the car three years ago.

Lately, when turning on the ignition, the Infotainment system starts in 'navigation' by default. The dashboard screen displays a permanent message requesting insertion of a suitable data card containing the necessary mapping for the system to work.

To remove this permanent message, and to have the Infotainment system start up in the switch-off mode last used, I have tried the following, all to no avail:

1. Leaving system in an alternative mode (e.g. 'media') when switching off the system/removing ignition key

2. 'Soft' reset (holding the power button until system reboots etc)

3. Restoring to factory settings

4. Pulling Fuse 12 (causes loss of power to Infotainment system) and waiting 10 mins before replacing fuse

Any suggestions to prevent the (unwanted) navigation mode from starting up - or removing the 'Insert data Card' message - would be appreciated!

Sorry, wrong Forum, have reposted to correct one.
