Skoda Kodiaq Keyless Entry Issues

I'm having a weird issue with my 2019 Skoda Kodiaq (gasoline engine). I'm getting an error stored related to the bumper antenna. Now the keyless entry is acting up, and I can't start the engine without the key in the ignition. Could this be a defective cable or plug connection? I'm estimating around 95€ for antenna repair. Any thoughts?

Whoa, sounds familiar! I had a similar problem with my Kodiaq. Check the connection to the fm antenna in the bumper. It might be loose or corroded. Is the signal interference really bad?

Where exactly is the fm antenna located, and how difficult is it to access the connection? I'm reasonably handy, but don't want to break anything.

Yep, same symptoms! The error memory, the keyless entry... It all points to that antenna. I'd suggest getting it checked out at a workshop, unless you're really confident with car electrics. Could save you some hassle. For me it was definitely the vehicle antenna causing the signal interference.

The cable to the antenna mount was faulty. 95€ at the shop and everything is working again. Thanks for the heads up, I appreciate it!
