Re: Problem updating Navigation map

Have a look at the notes I posted to share the method that worked for me. The crucial pint seems to be reusing the Skoda Sd card.

Re: Tyre pressure monitor

Thanks for your responses. Wow how clever is that. I’ll try to save the settings again as Im not convinced it did save it and Ill watch for the confirmation this time. Thanks again. Nick

Tyre pressure monitor

I recently pumped up all my tyre pressures on my 2.0 SEL 4x4 and then pressed the menu button to set the tyre pressure monitor. But I didn’t seem to get any acknowledgement that it had saved the setting, or that it is now checking that the pressures don’t change. Does anyone know how this feature wo...

Re: Variable Boot Floor option

I’ve had a spare wheel fitted under my boot floor and that raised the boot level to a more comfortable height. By that I mean there’s not so much of a drop when loading items into the boot. The boot floor is now just below the rear hatch sill. So it isn’t ‘variable’ without removing the spare, but i...

Re: 1.5 SEL DEG Random emergency braking

I too have had the scary red warning on my dash several times without any external reason why this should have happened. It always occurred on country lanes when turning gently around flowing right hand bends at around 30mph. I had several instances every week. Since I have reduced the driver assist...

Re: Problem updating Navigation map

I thought I'd post the outcome of my query for others that run into the same problem. Despite what it says on the Skoda update website and many thwarted attempts, I could not get the Navigation system to open the new map files that were downloaded onto either an SD card or a USB memory stick. Eventu...

Re: Problem updating Navigation map

Thanks, I’ll try a USB stick and see if that works for me.

Re: Problem updating Navigation map

Thanks Ian, Yes I too trust my TomTom implicitly, as it has free regular updates and it's speed camera warnings are helpful too. But as the inbuilt unit is there it might as well work as well as possible in my view. Certainly the simplified update process on the Skoda site glosses over some importan...

Problem updating Navigation map

I'm trying to update the maps in the Columbus navigation system of my Skoda SEL 4x4. I've followed the 'apparently simple' instructions on the update portal (http://updateportal.skoda-auto.com/en-GB/Updates), but to no avail. My map version is ECE1. So I've downloaded ECE 1 2019/2020, unpacked it an...
