Very basic question - How to differentiate between 2023 and 2024 models, given that the current calendar year is 2023?

For the style variant specifically, you’ll see

1. Electric seat adjustment for the front seats (2024) instead of manual adjustment (2023)
2. Footwell lamps (2024)
3. Subwoofer in the boot (2024)

Also, 2024 models must have been manufactured starting from September. You can check your VIN to find out.

Off Topic: Update about? Best to quote the query you are asking for a response or with little more of information.

Even after updating my S23 ultra to One UI 6 - its still the same :'(

15,000 KMs Service Update:

• Booked appointment with Brite Skoda (Noida) 2-days prior to Service day. Right after booking a message was sent to me confirming appointment along with SA's name and number.
  
• Day before the service, WhatsApp group created with 8 members (including me). I could only identify my SA, have no idea who the rest 6 members are.
  
• Had booked first slot @ 9:30am. Reached SC at 9:15am. Photos were taken, odometer reading was noted down, I was asked if there are any issues to report and job card was created.
  
• Car was taken in, went straight to service bay first. My request to stand next to the car was denied, however I was told I can keep visiting the service floor and will be called when the oil is drained/changed.
  
• An estimated bill was provided to me amounting to INR 1,239.00 which included WA WB and 1.5 TSI Badge. I have taken SMP so everything was covered under it apart from extras.
  
• By lunch car was ready, handed over to me. I denied washing and cleaning and took it to Sparklers car wash (Great India Palace). Highly recommended place!
  
• Final bill came to INR 1,589.00. They fixed the off centre steering wheel. Oil and air filter was changed. Airbag Module software was updated.
  
• All customers waiting in the lounge were offered lunch! Overall the experience was good.

Yup, the latest update version is 1800 and it finally fixes the issue with Android auto for S23 series.

The first issue cropped up in my 15 day old slavia. I had taken it out for a short drive for 40-50 kms in the early evening and came home and parked the car. As soon as I reached home, I could hear the anti theft alarm being set off. I ran to check the car and the parking lights were blinking. The anti theft alarm is pretty loud. I unlocked the car and checked around the car for any animals (cars/dogs) or rats that might have triggered it. Locked the car again after 5 mins and went up.

The alarm went off again after 10 mins. I again rushed down to the parking and unlocked the car. This time, I opened the hood and checked it thoroughly. I even started the car and then turned it off after couple of mins and locked it. I waited down for around 15 mins and the alarm went off again . Now anxiety had started creeping in as the alarm had gone off 3 times in like 45 mins. I got more worried as it was already 9 pm and was dreading the alarm going off at midnight. I guess the service centre will be closed tomorrow. I have scanned Slavia as well as Octavia thread and have found out that many owners have faced this issue.

I will be speaking to the service centre for this. If this is a common issue, why has there been no software fix for this . I am sure this must be a bug in one of the sensors. Skoda should release a patch for the same too.

Any suggestions on how to fix the said issue? As members have reported that even Skoda has not been able to pin point the exact issue.

I faced the same issue during my first 10-15 days of ownership. Luckily, the issue hasn't repeated itself since last 2 months. I thought it was just with my car.

This isn't a glitch; it's a result of the idle start/stop system. When you come to a stop, the system automatically turns off the engine. However, the car hasn't actually been switched off; it's just the idle start/stop system at work. Consequently, you might think you've turned off the car, exit, and lock it. After a while, the anti-theft system activates to alert you that the car has been left running.

That's a saviour. As it is the idle start /stop system is quite aggressive. I will keep the same in mind next time. Thank you.

In the meanwhile, I had ordered the Pharoah 3d Hexalock Floor mats and received them yesterday. They are of extremely good quality and has a snug fit. Looks quite premium . The packaging was excellent too. Attaching the pictures below.

I use it personally, an S23 Ultra. I'm not sure if the update is already available at the service centre, but you can check with them before booking an appointment. I did the update myself by downloading the firmware from another international forum. I'm not sure if posting the link or the software here is allowed, I don't want to violate the forum's rules.

Thanks again for your very quick revert - do you use 8inch infotainment or 10 inch??
