Re: software update.

Kenya, Have just been informed by local Skoda Franchise that the promised remedial update for camera issues and general infotainment system has been withdrawn….apparently it has a fault! Not known when re-issue will be made. Told yesterday that it will eventually be issued on a National basis to ind...

Re: Sat Nav!...

Well here we are again 12 months later with the same issues on my new replacement 2022 Karoq with the Sat. Nav. and rear camera issues still a nightmare.

Re: Sat Nav!...

Please see initial postings re faulty rear view camera.b Woe woe & thrice woe....it would appear that my celebrations of finally getting a replacement rear camera fitted was misplaced. Within 24 hours the original fault of reversing camera failing reoccurred...so it was not the camera at fault! ...

Re: Reversing Camera intermittent fault

Hopefully the final episode in this unfortunate situation. Following my ultimatum to the franchise in which I mentioned “Ombudsman “ and legal advice received, I have at last been treated as a paying customer who has a legitimate problem. I am told that Skoda we’re contacted and they authorised a co...

Re:reversing camera update

All, I promised to give an update should there be any developments with my intermittent camera fault. I had already produced a video indicating reverse gear selected and camera not working to the franchise. In turn they promised to contact Skoda and let me know the result. Despite two mails no respo...

Re: Sat Nav!...

Hi Colin, Much obliged for the info. I will do as you suggest...the worrying aspect to all this is the dealerships seemingly lack of knowledge about these problems and surely you would have thought that they would be the first to know about any remedial fixes? Hopefully my enquiries and persistence ...

Re: Sat Nav!...

Chris, Thank goodness the vehicle is not named HERBIE.... In so far as the reversing camera is concerned no amount of moving the gear stick produces any change.....I have made a video of the blank screen showing the gear lever in reverse and suggested to the garage that they use that to pressure Sko...

Sat Nav!...

Having been the original owner of an 2011 Octavia 1.8 for eleven years with 66000 miles motoring without any faults, only servicing and tyre replacements I felt quite reassured to exchange for new Karoq 1.5 SE.......which I did in April this year. I have read endless tales of woe within this forum a...
