🔧 System Compatibility

Designed specifically for compatible Škoda Columbus MIB2 High systems.

The Columbus name has been used across different navigation generations. The complete software version and installed hardware must be checked, rather than relying on the system name or dashboard appearance alone.

🔎 How to Check Your System

Open:

MENU → Settings / System Information → Version Information

Menu wording may vary. Please send:

✔ Clear photo showing the complete software version, navigation database and device information
✔ Škoda model and year
✔ Required option: Maps / Maps + Smartphone Activation / Wireless Adapter
✔ Photo of previous map update media, if available

Keep the full software identifier visible, including all letters, numbers and revision details.

🚗 Vehicle Compatibility

Suitable for selected Škoda vehicles equipped with the confirmed Columbus MIB2 High system, including compatible versions of:

Octavia A7 / 5E, Superb III / 3V, Karoq / NU and Kodiaq / NS.

Vehicle model and year alone do not confirm compatibility. Other factory navigation systems require different products.

📷 Speed Camera POI Database — 2026

The included database adds stored camera locations on compatible systems.

Depending on software and settings, supported functions can include:

✔ Camera locations on the navigation map
✔ Visual notifications
✔ Audible proximity alerts where supported and enabled

This is a stored POI database, not live radar detection. Camera locations may change, and warning behaviour depends on the infotainment configuration.

📱 Optional Apple CarPlay & Android Auto Activation

Add supported smartphone applications through the original Columbus display, including:

✔ Apple Maps through CarPlay
✔ Google Maps and Waze
✔ Spotify, Apple Music and YouTube Music where supported
✔ Calls and messages
✔ Compatible smartphone voice control

The activation provides wired smartphone integration through a compatible USB connection. Software and USB hardware compatibility must be confirmed.

Smartphone activation is not included in the Maps Only option.

📡 Optional Wireless USB Adapter

After the corresponding wired CarPlay or Android Auto function is working, a compatible adapter can provide:

✔ Wireless smartphone connectivity
✔ Automatic reconnection
✔ USB connection to the infotainment system
✔ 5.8 GHz Wi-Fi and OTA firmware updates on the supplied compatible adapter

Compatibility depends on the phone, adapter and infotainment configuration.

The adapter does not activate CarPlay or Android Auto by itself.

⚙️ Firmware Requirements

Some systems may require an appropriate software update before map installation, POI installation or smartphone activation.

Firmware should be updated only when necessary for the confirmed unit. Send the complete Version Information screen before making any firmware change.
