Skoda Superb my superb' infotainment suddenly cuts out, then pops back up when going over a bump or similar, then is off again. does it need to go th the skoda garage to be checked with their diagnostics machine (£108.00 by the way) ?

Car: Skoda Superb
Variant: Elegance
Model Year: 2013
Categories: Electrics, ECU, Warnings & Lights
Radio/infotainment suddenly shuts down & may come back up for a bit, then shutting down again. Does it really need the Skoda diagnostics hook-up or what could be done ? Radio comes out easily enough. Thanks.

You could try charging the battery first before spending £108 possibly to be told the same thing .With regard to going over bumps , double check plugs / connections to radio and double check radio fuse is secure in fuse box Skoda Superb (2013) – fuse box diagram Year of production: 2013 Fuse box in dash panel Skoda Superb - fuse box - dashboard Skoda Superb – fuse box – dashboard Number Power consumer 1 Diagnostic socket, engine control unit, fuel pump relay, fuel pump control unit 2 Control unit for ABS, ESP, switch for tyre inflation pressure-control system, brake sensor 3 Switch and control unit for airbag 4 WIV, parking light, dimming rear mirror, pressure sensor, telephone preinstallation 5 Control unit for headlamp beam adjustment and headlight swivel, control unit for parking aid, control unit for park assist 6 Instrument cluster, control unit for electromechanical power steering, Haldex, selector lever lock, power supply for data bus 7 Valve heating, air mass meter 8 Control unit for trailer detection 9 Relay for auxiliary heating and ventilation 10 Adaptive left main headlight 11 Adaptive right main headlight 12 Not assigned 13 Diagnostic socket, light switch, rain sensor, clock 14 Central locking system and bonnet lid 15 Central control unit – interior lights 16 The air conditioning system 17 Not assigned 18 Phone 19 Instrument cluster, windscreen wiper lever, and turn signal lever 20 KESSY 21 KESSY ELV 22 Air blower for Climatronic 23 Front power window, central locking of the front doors 24 Selector lever lock, AG 25 Rear window heater, relay for auxiliary heating and ventilation 26 Power socket in the boot 27 Fuel pump relay, control unit for fuel pump, injection valves 28 Electric boot lid 29 AG, Haldex 30 Ventilated front seats 31 DVD pre-installation 32 Front power window, central locking system of the rear doors 33 Electric sliding/tilting roof 34 Alarm, spare horn 35 Front and rear lighter 36 Headlight cleaning system 37 Heated front seats 38 Heated rear seats 39 Rear window wiper 40 Fan air-conditioning system, relay for auxiliary heating and ventilation 41 Not assigned 42 Light switch 43 Control unit for trailer detection 44 Control unit for trailer detection 45 Control unit for trailer detection 46 Switch for seat heating 47 Telephone preinstallation 48 Preparation for the aftermarket radio 49 Not assigned Fuse box in engine compartment Skoda Superb - fuse box - engine compartment Skoda Superb – fuse box – engine compartment Version A Number Power consumer F1 Front right main headlight, right rear light unit F2 Valves for ABS F3 Not assigned F4 Not assigned F5 Horn F6 Not assigned F7 Not assigned F8 Not assigned F9 Not assigned F10 Not assigned F11 Not assigned F12 Not assigned F13 Control unit for automatic gearbox F14 Not assigned F15 Coolant pump F16 Not assigned F17 Instrument cluster, windshield wiper lever and turn signal light lever F18 Audio amplifier (sound system) F19 Radio F20 Not assigned F21 Not assigned F22 Not assigned F23 Engine control unit F24 Data bus control unit F25 Not assigned F26 Not assigned F27 Fuel dosage valve F28 Engine control unit F29 Main relay F30 Auxiliary heating and ventilation control unit F31 Windscreen wipers F32 Not assigned F33 Not assigned F34 Not assigned F35 Not assigned F36 Not assigned F37 Not assigned F38 Radiator fan, valves F39 Clutch/brake pad sensor F40 Lambda probe F41 AKF valve F42 Lambda probe F43 Ignition F44 Not assigned F45 Not assigned F46 Not assigned F47 Front left main headlight, left rear light unit F48 Pump for ABS F49 Power supply for terminal 15 (ignition on) F50 Not assigned F51 Not assigned F52 Power supply relay – terminal a) F53 Accessory F54 Not assigned a) In order not to drain the battery unnecessarily when starting the engine, the electrical components of this terminal are automatically switched off.
