Skoda Connect & MY21
Posted: Mon Sep 14, 2020 6:13 pm
Hi folks
Just taken delivery last weekend of a Karoq SEL 1.5 Petrol, which seems also be the MY21 release.
Just thought I'd share some observations and I have a question...
There are no SD card slots anymore, but there are now two USB-C ports in the covered console infront of the gear shift. Also no SIM card slot that I can find.
My question is regardiing Skoda Connect - is there a way to make the car 'offline' to the internet?
I'm just wary that my new car is only as secure as Skoda's data services, and if my account is compromised, the location, and the ability to unlock my car is just a click away. If i could hide the car from the Skoda connect, go 'off grid' as it were, I would sleep easier.
Regards
Jerry
