Skoda Octavia 2018 – MEN2_EU_SKGPX_P7381L Firmware Update & CarPlay Activation

Featured Replies

Hello,

I own a 2018 Skoda Octavia with the current infotainment system MEN2_EU_SKGPX_P7381L (MU: 8740).
I am trying to activate Apple CarPlay, but although the license appears to be present, the menu shows it as inactive.

Additionally, I would like to update my infotainment system to the latest version. I am looking for advice on:

  • Latest firmware or patch files

  • Safe SD/USB update methods

  • FEC flag / SmartLink activation

Any guidance, resources, or step-by-step instructions from experienced members would be greatly appreciated. Thank you in advance! 🙏

Hello, the patch version available is very old. Do you have any updated versions?

nope

Hi,

I’m from Spain and I have a Škoda Fabia III 2019 with Swing / MIB2 Entry.

My unit details are:

Part number: 6V0 035 871 J
Hardware: 690
Current software: 8740
Android Auto: S1.3_A8740
CarPlay: 210.81

My current train should be MEN2_EU_SKGPx_P7381L.

I’ve seen that the firmware MEN2_EU_SKGPx_P0080L_8755 is used to fix CarPlay / Android Auto issues on Fabia units, but before installing anything I would like to confirm if it is safe and compatible with my exact unit.

Could someone please confirm whether MEN2_EU_SKGPx_P0080L_8755 would work on a Spanish/European Fabia with part number 6V0 035 871 J?

Also, is there any risk because my car is from Spain, or is the firmware valid for European Škoda units in general?

Could you also confirm the correct installation method? Do I only need to copy the firmware files to a FAT32 USB drive, connect it to the car, go to “Update software” on the infotainment screen, and start the update from there?

Thank you very much.
