Yes I know yet another post about the infotainment, I spoke to my local Skoda dealer and they were useless and said they could get me in for a check in September?

Anyway, I recently bought a 2015 Skoda Octavia VRS. I believe it came with the MIB2 infotainment as the glovebox unit only has SD card slots no cd. What is the easiest way of activating smartlink as I would like carplay. Do dealers even offer the activation given how old the car is? Thanks.

That looks like an Amundsen MIB2.

I bought the necessary software for about UK£40 from here: https://www.visioncoding.co.uk/collections/skoda

You need your current SW Train Version, yours looked like MST2_EU_SK_ZR_P0241T

You then need an OBD Eleven Pro to switch on Android Auto and Apple Carplay. Here's the procedure.

Thanks, I contacted vision coding as they were recommend on a different thread but before I went with the purchase I came across this video and I managed to get it working as per the guide, all I needed to buy was a generic OBD reader from Amazon which I no longer have any use for and will be returning 🤣
