Škoda updates infotainment and connected services in Enyaq and Elroq

Škoda has updated the infotainment offerings in its all-electric Enyaq (with software 4.0 and higher) and Elroq models, adding the AirConsole gaming platform, the Škoda Play video service with personalized news and learning content, and native Spotify integration.

All three infotainment features are included in the media streaming package, free for the first three years in new vehicles. The Traffication app for existing Škoda models now also includes an emergency vehicle approaching alert. These updates offer passengers onboard entertainment during charging breaks, seamless audio streaming and relevant safety information.

AirConsole

AirConsole from Swiss developer N Dream offers 15 games available exclusively in Škoda vehicles. When the vehicle is parked, the infotainment display becomes the gaming screen, with the user’s smartphone acting as the controller. The platform supports both single-player and multi-player modes, and the vehicle’s audio system is integrated for in-game sound. Additional titles will be introduced over time.

Customized video content

Škoda Play adds a video service that delivers structured news and educational content. Developed with the 3Ready Automotive solution from 3SS, it integrates content from Euronews, NASA+, CNN, Reuters, Bloomberg and more. Content is tailored to user preferences and the specific vehicle.

Spotify integration

Spotify has been built directly into the infotainment system. Users log in with their existing accounts and access music and podcasts through the vehicle’s data connection, without relying on a paired smartphone.

Traffication application

The Traffication app now includes an emergency vehicle approaching alert, developed with HAAS Alert. Emergency vehicles with active warning lights share real-time position and travel direction data, which Škoda’s backend processes to provide on-screen notifications showing distance, direction and animated guidance for forming an emergency corridor. The cloud-based feature is active in the UK and the Netherlands with more countries set to follow; Škoda vehicles will be the first to support the solution in Belgium. The Czech police is also set to join.

MyŠkoda app

The MyŠkoda app has optimized its AI-supported route planner with more detailed options, including selecting charging stops near specific locations, limiting stops to Powerpass stations and setting a minimum battery level on arrival.
