The latest update to the MyŠkoda app (version 8.0) is now available, bringing several useful improvements and new features. This major release focuses on better status visibility, optimized messaging, and an enhanced route planner.
Improved Vehicle Status Overview
The option “Automatic vehicle activation” can now be toggled directly in the status screen
A new timestamp shows when the vehicle last sent data to the app
You can now immediately see if the vehicle is online or in standby mode
Explanation for “Battery Protection Limit Exceeded” Warning
The last known battery state of charge is still shown, even when this warning appears
There’s now a clear explanation for this previously confusing message
Optimized Route Planner
Known limitation: Charging stops are not transferred 1:1 to the vehicle’s system
Better visualization of charging stops, including more precise charging time estimates
You can now adjust starting and target SoC levels directly within the route
“Fire-and-Forget” Climate Control
Note: Climate control still starts with a delay in the background
