Skoda Octavia Sunroof Issue

I'm experiencing an issue with the sunroof on my 2021 Skoda Octavia hybrid. The sunblind is stuck, and the convertible top won't open or close. The sunblind also won't retract or extend. I suspect it's due to recent coding changes, as an error message says the sunroof isn't initialized. Has anyone had a similar problem with their car sunroof, or have any suggestions? Trying to understand possible causes before I bring the car in for repair. Trying to gauge what I am looking at for eventual repair cost.

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?

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!
