Re: Voice Enhancement

I remember reading about this feature, but can't remember it ever being offered as standard or an option for the Karoq. And with the removal of electronic assist systems from the face-lifted Karoq (due to chip shortages) it seems unlikely to be available for the time being. I can see that it has/was...

Re: SOS Error: Emergency Call Workshop!

Hi Chris, How do you know it's fixed permanently? I’m thinking of buying a 21 reg Karoq 1.5 ACT SE L from a dealer. Is there anyone in this forum who managed to get it fixed permanently? Please help as I do not want to buy and later regret. Thanks in advanced There's no way to guarantee any fault h...

Re: SOS Error: Emergency Call Workshop!

No, I only had the fault appear after driving my new car for several months. I think it's triggered by some combination of factors, and is fairly random for the 0270 software variant. Since being updated to 0276 last November I've been fault-free.

Re: Software updates.

Correct. On my old Golf there were 2 SD card slots at the top of the glovebox. One held the map data and the other was free for music SD cards. On MIB3 cars you can play music via the USB-C ports instead.

Re: Software updates.

The main car software update has to be done by a Skoda registered workshop as the car needs to download a lot of date from the main Skoda servers. (I believe it takes several hours.) The map updates and radio updates are offered on the Skoda Update webpage, but I've also found that plugging a USB st...

Re: SATNAV loses position

The SOS error problem is a known software fault which your dealer should be able to cure. In my case, the MY21 car's software was updated from v0270 to v0276, and the problem hasn't reoccurred since. The latest cars are fitted with newer software, so you may well find that you are updated to a highe...

Re: Skoda connect, infotainment, updates and user profiles

Normally the car uses its pre-paid e-SIM connection even when you've paired your phone to the car, but you can change this by going to Menu / Settings / Data connection / . When I first got my car I could not get the Web Radio to download stations because that was not permitted within the Skoda data...

Re: Skoda connect, infotainment, updates and user profiles

There is a built-in SIM since MY21 cars to enable the emergency call system (which is licensed for 10 years). I don't use the Android apps but presume they will connect via your phone's SIM and so use your phone's data allowance rather than the car's? I can't see Skoda allowing unlimited access to d...

Re: No boot release button in 2021 SE L ?

OK, having checked an old brochure it looks like the powered tailgate was optional for your SE L car, and according to the handbook for my car (admittedly a year older than yours) the button on the driver's door was only fitted when you have the powered tailgate. My previous cars never had an intern...

Re: Skoda connect, infotainment, updates and user profiles

You can get details of the Skoda Connect system at https://www.skoda.co.uk/owners/skoda-connect If you have a valid licence, then your car should download updates the the map database automatically when it finds an update. You will not get any indication of this however except that the system inform...
