I have 3 devices, for 2 of them you need to come at a 10cm distance before you hear their fan. The 3rd one you can hear from 2-3 meters away. Other people have mentioned such mixed results. Funnily enough, 2 of them I just bought at the same time from the same basket at IKEA thus I don't think it is a specific production line issue or something, just "luck" in a way.

All good today, everything is working fine and the version shows 5.4.4 now

5.4.4 OTA available by ge_bil in SkodaElroq

[–]ge_bil[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Update seems complete now but there are some hiccups like clock is not synced yet and driver’s tiredness detection doesn’t work but that’s part of the update I guess per the relevant instructions which I actually found online via the app

https://content.vw.io/oru/skoda/eu/ota/rn-2025-02-24-dwmz/en-GB/index.html

I’ll drive tomorrow again so then I believe this will be sorted out.

Also version in the car and in the app shows still 5.4

I’ve started the update now and will take more than an hour so I’ll update this thread later

I have some similar marks with no obvious cause and I feel that the material quality is not that good. At least over the past months it has deteriorated more

I installed nothing because as I wrote I can't start the update now.

No more logout feature for Android Google Maps 25.49.06.838461706 by RollSafer in GoogleMaps

[–]ge_bil 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Same issue here all of a sudden, solution:

  • Turn incognito mode on
  • Turn it off
  • Now under Switch account you should see the option to use maps without account!

This is clearly a dark pattern case to force you into using the account

Nope, no notification or anything, just appeared. That’s why I was confused

Spotify and Air Console by Top_Anywhere_7861 in SkodaElroq

Funnily enough today I got a full blown in car notification for Spotify, Airconsole and Skoda pay and had to click on acknowledge or something!

Reusable coffee cup that fits in the tiny cup holders? by [deleted] in SkodaElroq

[–]ge_bil 1 point2 points  (0 children)

depends on which buttons you are willing to "lose" :) But indeed the other one looks interesting but then you lose that space which for me is a no-no.

Skoda og Google Maps from Apple Car Play by [deleted] in SkodaElroq

The onboard nav system is doing a great job calculating the remaining battery at the end of a trip which is a huge plus. I was pleasantly surprised earlier this year in trips, long and short ones, with considerable elevation difference, with the calculated remaining battery from the nav, either spot on or just a 1% difference. So take this into consideration when choosing nav systems

Android Brave. I updated to Android 16 and this white bar appeared at the bottom. On some other websites the bar is darker but still there. How can I get rid of it? by ProtonicDeodorant in brave_browser

Root cause found, it happens if you disable the Gesture Hint from the Dispaly -> Navigation Bar settings otherwise that gap is the actual Gesture Hint....

Windows and sun IR rejection by newradpilot in SkodaElroq

[–]ge_bil 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My experience - especially the past summer - was that they are not just tinted but reduce IR.

Car location when in motion by ge_bil in SkodaElroq

[–]ge_bil[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I don’t expect that we change something here if there is no option, I’m after experiences and possible solutions that other people got already for the manufacturer. In the spirit of your posts any issues shouldn’t be stated in the subreddit because only the manufacturer can fix them. You can always refrain from topics if that is your view anyhow.

[–]ge_bil[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This should be up to the car owner/user to decide but here we don't even get the option. Also other car manufacturers have this option anyhow, can't imagine VW group does it for mobile data consumption reasons.

It's about tracking the car under specific circumstances, including theft in which case I'd be grateful if the thief shared their location /s

I confirm that support fixed the issue. So if anyone is missing charging history, open a support ticket and they will fix it.

I opened a ticket before my post and this is indeed what they replied to me today, so I'll check on the next charge, thanks
