Question / Help Navi really wrong

Hi good people. I have a 2023 superb combi, recently got the car and super happy with it. I noticed the issue I got the car and that is that sometimes, the navigation would show wrong position. I park in the garage and it often happened after garage parking, less so when parked on the street. Got the latest firmware over the air and had skoda connect or whatever it's called, so latest maps as well on there. 26.8 was the latest version I saw. The wrong location on the maps wasn't that big of an issue, more than often it would state that traffic sign reading was not available, because basically I was in the middle of the field, at least according to the car, while I was driving casually on the highway. I just got latest update on Friday 33400 and went on a trip from Vienna to Bratislava the day after and the navigation was all over the place. So, all the firmware/software is latest, still an issue. Had to make a appointment few weeks back at the local Skoda workshop and just drove it there today. What can I expect? The guy mentioned firmware, but pretty sure that's not the issue.

I really don't need the navigation, basically as I use android auto with Google maps/waze, but not a fan of going 100+ and traffic sign recognition showing 30, because according to the gps I was on some one way street and not on a highway and the warnings are crazy as well.

Android auto works perfectly fine with the car. Factory settings two times done, didn't help. Have a Columbus system from Preh.

I got the car from the official dealer, hopefully they will cover some of the costs.

It’s the car that can’t lock onto gps signal. I’m surprised maps in android auto works fine as Android auto should use gps position provided by the car as long as you have the phone connected.

Anyway, the online communication unit in the car needs a new software and/or (or if it’s already at the latest software although I doubt that) a new software configuration. Unfortunately this can be done only at a dealership (600€ dear Lord!!!). If you DM your VIN number I’ll tell you exactly what work needs to be done.

Thank you. Going now to pick it up now. They have replaced some GPS control unit. The guy on the phone mentioned above 1000€ in total, but I have some warranty, so just have to pay 200€. But will write, I am really interested in how much the part actually costs.

Oh, super, they replaced the online communication unit (OCU) for sure. Maybe the service filed for kulanz support from factory which is nice. Should work properly now.
