Skoda Rapid Central Locking Issue

I am experiencing an issue with my Skoda Rapid built in 2022 with a gasoline engine. The mileage is 156662 km. There is an error stored in the error memory and the unlocking/locking is not working properly. Also, the engine can only be started with the key in the ignition lock. The likely cause is a defective cable or plug connection of the component. Has anyone encountered something similar?

I had a similar issue with my Rapid. The symptoms sound very familiar. Have you checked the vehicle antenna connection? In my case, it affected the car radio signal and remote locking.

Could you elaborate on which cable connection was defective and how you identified it? Was it related to the fm antenna specifically?

Yes, in my case, the issue was with the cable connecting the bumper antenna. It seems like the radio signal was weak, affecting the central locking system. I would recommend having a workshop check the automotive antenna and its connections.

Thank you for your insights. It appears that the cable connection was indeed the problem. The repair cost 95€. Now everything is working as expected.
