Skoda Roomster Smartphone Connection Problem

Interesting. Incorrect pairing could definitely be the culprit. Does the error memory give any more specific codes? Have you noticed any other electrical malfunctions, even seemingly unrelated ones like issues with the steering or brakes? It's always worth checking the basics, too, like the battery voltage. A weak battery can sometimes cause weird communication errors.

The error code was pretty generic, something about a communication fault. I haven't noticed anything else acting up, but now that you mention it, the car did take a little longer to start this morning. Could that be related? The steering feels normal, and the brakes seem fine.

A slow start could indicate a battery issue, which in turn can mess with the car's electronics. It's still uncertain if that's the primary cause, but it's a factor. Given the communication error and the pairing problems, it might be best to have a workshop take a look. They can properly diagnose the issue and ensure it isn't something more serious affecting other systems. It's better to be safe than sorry, especially with modern cars and their interconnected electronics.

Thanks for the input. It turned out to be a simple pairing issue, just like you suspected. A quick reset and re-pair of the phone did the trick. Cost me 45€ at the shop, so not too bad. I'll keep an eye on the ignition system and fuel system just in case, but hopefully, that's the end of it.
