Skoda Superb Transport Mode Issue

I'm new here. I've got a 2003 Skoda Superb with a gasoline engine, and I'm having a weird issue. The dashboard says Transport mode active. The navigation isn't working, and I'm getting some general electrical malfunctions. The dealer thinks it's because the car is new, but it has some mileage on it! Has anyone seen this before? Any ideas before I take it in for a diagnostic check?

That sounds like the transport mode issue I had with my Superb. The navigation went dead, and the car electronics were acting weird. Does your immobilizer light flash?

Yeah, the immobilizer light is flashing. How did you fix it? Was it something with the car electronics or a vehicle setting I can change myself?

If the immobilizer is flashing, it's almost certainly the transport mode. I couldn't fix it myself. It needs a diagnostic check and a software adjustment. The dealer should be able to sort it out. I recommend a workshop.

Thanks for the help! You were right. The dealer confirmed it was still in transport mode. They made a quick vehicle setting adjustment and a small software adjustment, and now everything works perfectly. It was free, thankfully!
