Skoda Octavia Sunroof Issue
Summary of the thread
The issue with the 2021 Skoda Octavia hybrid's sunroof involved the sunblind being stuck and the convertible top not functioning, likely due to recent coding changes. An error message indicated that the sunroof wasn't initialized, suggesting a problem with the sunroof control module. The recommended solution was to have the system re-initialized by a workshop specializing in Skoda or VW cars, which resolved the issue, confirming it was a coding glitch rather than a mechanical failure.

Thanks for the quick response! Yes, the error message does point to the sunroof control module. I haven't tried any resets myself yet, as I wasn't sure what the proper procedure would be and didn't want to risk making things worse. Was your issue exactly the same, with the sunblind and convertible top both malfunctioning? Did the convertible top stop working completely as well?

Yes, the convertible top stopped functioning entirely, just like you described. The sunblind was the first sign of trouble. Given the error message and the coding you mentioned, it's almost certainly the same root cause. I'd recommend taking it to a workshop that specializes in Skoda or VW cars. They should be able to re-initialize the sunroof control module and clear the error. It's likely a coding glitch rather than a mechanical failure of the car sunroof itself.

Just wanted to say that I took my Skoda Octavia to the workshop. They re-initialized the sunroof system, and everything is working again. The total cost was 75€. Thanks again for your help and confirming it was a coding issue!

I had a similar issue with my Octavia's sunroof operation after some coding was done. The sunblind got stuck, and the convertible top wouldn't budge. Does the error message specifically mention the sunroof control module? Did you try any basic resets yourself?
