I got it working at the end with my Skoda Superb iV, but only after creating a new Skoda account. The AC just couldn't be turned on, while other functions worked. The application and infrastructure behind has too many bugs, insufficient or misleading info if something fails. E.g., the 15 request limit, which I only know from the Home Assistant integration. Also the UI could be more intuitive, with proper explanation of features, especially at AC control. Sync between car and app could be faster.

Generally good concept, unfortunately slow data refresh and buggy app ... car and servers communication unreliable, car parking position almost never correct or unavailable, and around new year everything resetted for some reason. Skoda vehicles in my opinion are the best for the money, extremely reliable and safe ... experience from owning 3 new cars all RS, now Kodiaq RS ... enjoying fully :)

I don't get it. You buy a car for 30k, including Smart Link, and then most app features still won't work, because I am supposed to pay additional 40€/month??? Outrageous! How much did it cost you develop this laggy app? I'm pretty sure my purchase alone covered the development, as well as 5 years of non-stop running services. I have an app on my smartphone. The phone connects with the vehicle. The app recognizes the car. The car has all its data. Yet I cannot get the data to my phone.
