I’m experiencing 'ghost touches,' random menu sweeping, and frequent infotainment restarts during hot weather. The system crashes constantly when it’s warm, yet works perfectly on colder days. Is there a way to cool the display, perhaps with a specialized screen cooler? I saw one on Temu, but it was designed for magnetic screens, which I don't have.
I'm looking for some advice or shared experiences regarding a major infotainment issue I encountered today. My car is a 2020 Skoda Octavia MK4 Combi (1.0 TSI), currently out of warranty.
While driving, the infotainment system started "acting possessed." It began with random reboots, followed by severe "ghost touching"—the menu jumps around, music turns on and off, and I hear constant phantom clicking sounds as if someone is tapping the screen rapidly. Eventually, the system overloads and crashes again. I also get a "Park Assist unavailable" error when this happens.
I've read that this is a known issue with early MK4 models, but I'm curious about the fix. For those who had this: was a software update (e.g., to version 1941) enough to solve it, or did it require a full display or 5F module replacement? Since I'm out of warranty, any information on potential costs or goodwill repairs from Skoda would be greatly appreciated.
