Trust me, this is really the case with automotive supply chain as of now. Suppliers are taking Auto manufacturers for a ride and this has become the time where the manufacturer has to listen to the supplier. I'm not talking about Skoda but a different manufacturer and it's come to the point where the manufacturer has to take what the supplier has to offer, just to ensure that the production keeps going and demand is met. Its not about the complexity of the technology that is causing this issue but rather the different tiers in this supply chain and their own priorities and bottlenecks. So the manufacturers are literally left to scavenge on what's provided to them. Unfortunately I cannot elaborate further, but it's a very alarming situation.

Since Kodiaq is set to continue in 2023 and Octavia, Superb are getting discontinued by Q1- 2023, this sounds like a move to increase the margin on these models as much as possible.
Fortunately, no such removal on my March’23 delivered Superb L&K. That sound system truly is worth the extra money.
