Skoda Octavia mK III INFOTAINMENT system keeps switching on and off

Featured Replies

Hi guys and gals. Not posted on here for a while as my 2016 Skoda Octavia estate, has been issue free since I bought it 6 years ago. Just recently though, the infotainment system has been playing up. It switches on no problem, but takes ages to load from the sd card 2 where I store my music. It also turns itself off and on when I am driving, meaning that I have no sat nav. This happens every few minutes now, but it turns itself back on again straight away, only for it to repeat the same operation minutes later. I have checked YouTube and performed the reset by pressing and holding the on off button until it switches itself back on, but it’s still doing it. It’s driving me crazy. Any advice would be most welcome. Cheers Skiprat.😉

I had a similar issue with my previous mk3 facelift Octavia, the info screen would intermittently turn it's self on & off whilst I was driving. I never got to the bottom of it, but I found pulling the dash fuse (behind the glovebox), usually stopped it from turning on & off for around a month. I can't offhand remember which fuse it was, but it's within the owners handbook. Maybe worth a free, try. Mine turned off & on, less often than yours, mind. Still enough to drive me crazy when it did.
