Skoda updates infotainment systems of the Enyaq and Elroq

Skoda has updated the infotainment systems of its all-electric Enyaq (with software 4.0 and higher) and Elroq models, adding new on-board entertainment features. These include the AirConsole gaming platform, the Skoda Play video service offering personalised news and learning content from a wide range of authorised partners, and native Spotify integration.

The AirConsole gaming platform is developed by Swiss developer N Dream and launches with 15 games, including Tetris, available exclusively in Skoda vehicles. 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. To use AirConsole, customers need a Skoda ID, an active MySkoda account, and an internet connection on their smartphone. Gaming is available only when the vehicle is parked.

As for the Skoda Play video service, it is developed with the 3Ready Automotive solution from 3SS and integrates content from Euronews, NASA+, CNN, Reuters, Bloomberg, and more. Content is tailored to user preferences and the specific vehicle. Video playback is available exclusively when the vehicle is parked.

Skoda drivers will also be happy to note that Spotify is now 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. Spotify content is accessible at any time. All media-streaming applications are pre-installed, so the service is available immediately after signing in.

All three infotainment features are included in the Media Streaming Package, available free of charge for the first three years in new vehicles.
