It's Software Update:1941. Just chased it up with my dealer today and it sorted out the seat issue etc. I also saw the list of other 'items, that it was meant to fix, some that I have experienced on my car, and others not seen on my vehicle. (MY23 R Hatch)Quote:

Yes it is true that the dealership can't determine what is the correct version for a particular car until they scan it.
A few points to note. I asked a few direct questions of my dealership, who I consider from my experience to be one of the better ones...
- do you check for the latest up to date software version when you pre-deliver a car (mine over 6 months from build to delivery) - NO
- do you check for the latest up to date software version when you carry out a 15K, 30K etc, service - NO
I was told they will only search for an update when a customer flags a problem, which in my opinion is wrong and shows poor customer service. You have a seat problem.....and not at any stage did I think that the dealership would not sort it out under a minor warranty item, even though they had no idea what 1941 would fix (I did tell them though:)). Good luck!
Yes your answers from questions to the dealer are correct. They will only update IF there is a problem with the unit. Why would they waste time fixing something that isnt broke. Also sometimes latest isnt always best.Quote:

Even managed one on a Passat that the dealer said was impossible. Some of the guys further down the food chain at the dealers sometimes know but arent allowed to tell you.
Also only have to go to the information screen to find the software version you have. Dont have to scan anything.
Hi to all learned people here.
Is the infotainment software region specific? Just want to check if I can use a file from overseas to update.

I did update on my 2023 Life with overseas 1941 version. No issue at all.
Thanks Golfie.Quote:

The latest release is 1969. Cupra/Seat got it first, then Volkswagen, and then Skoda.Quote:

I've seen mention somewhere of version 1985 or 1989 on its way, but I'm yet to see a screenshot of anyones system info.
Any pointers on where to get the versions so I can update my Kamiq
Thanks in Advance
In short, Google "MIBSolution" - its a massive repository of VAG files.Quote:

The MOI3 Preh (Panasonic) is the older style MIB3 found in the cars like the Kamiq, Scala, T-Cross, Tiguan, Passat, Ateca and many more.
Unfortunately for us in Australia, Skoda's RDW markets are Australia and Russia. So finding Skoda specific RDW update files is difficult. It won't let you proceed with an EU file on an RDW unit, so no need to worry about bricking your unit.
What complicates it more, is you can't always go direct to the latest firmware.
Case in point, my Mum recently bought a MY20.5 Kamiq which had version 0156 - basically the original release, finding the next update after that has been very difficult. So we're reliant on our Skoda dealer for the time being - which has been torturous. The current TPI from ErWIN doesn't even reference a version this old - "If SW 270/276/278/302/304/306 is in the vehicle, you must first update to SW308, then update to SW324."
See here for the process on how to update: Kamiq MY20 MIB3 Update - Škoda Kamiq - BRISKODA
^^Just regarding this thread, ignore all the stuff regarding SWAP codes affecting Navigation. None of our Australian delivered Kamiq's and Scala's are old enough to be affected. My Mum's July 2020 built Kamiq has the nav SWAP code installed.
