Thanks, it did start happening when I added albums. I'm sure I tried reformatting and copying everything again, perhaps I've just got too many albums on there for the Columbus to cope with, but I'll give it another go. They're only on the card once as I can prove when I view the card on the computer.

I had to resize all my album art images too to make them smaller. I had issues when I had the Amundsen unit in my previous Octavia where they had to be no more than 200x200, but the Columbus in my current Superb doesn't seem to have this limitation. Fortunately I've got dbpoweramp and it comes with an image resizer that does batch conversion so it wasn't too painful.

I've ripped all my CDs and have put MP3s at 320kbps on an SD card for use in the car. Each album is in a separate folder. All's been fine for the last couple of years and I've added a few CDs every now and then. Recently albums have been appearing twice in the menu and they'll play track 1 of the first one then track 2 of the second, then track 2 of the first and track 2 of the second and so on. They only show up once on the computer. I've even tried formatting the card and recopying the mp3s onto it with no change. I've got about 400 CDs on the card and it's nowhere near full. Anyone else experienced this or have any solutions?

Hi, I get the same issue with my SD card. All my CDs ripped to FLAC and mp3. FLAC for use on the hifi at home, mp3s on the SD card for use in the car. It's a function of the playback software in the unit, not all players support gapless playback, I find it really annoying when listening to a live album or one where tracks blend into one another. I haven't checked software version but it's a 19 plate Superb SEL Executive.

I suffer with gaps between tracks too, ripped all my CDs to flac and mp3 and put mp3s on SD card. Very annoying.

I find this a right pain too. I just don't bother using it. Surely a single touch reset shouldn't be too difficult to implement.

I'll give this a try. Thanks!

Anybody know if it's possible to mute the satnav voice announcements? I often would prefer to just have the visual guidance. I can't find anything in the manual. I can set the volume to zero, but this doesn't work as it still reduces the radio / media volume when the voice announcements (albeit silent) are made.

No 1 colour is grey.... silver's effectively grey.

No, not me. Must be someone else with a good taste in colours!

I've never owned a monochrome car. Black is for hearses. Grey / silver is so boring, looks ok in isolation but on the road in a line of other black / grey / silver it's just monotonous. First Octavia I had was rio red, then an Arctic green, then a denim blue. Now got a superb in Velvet Red. Yes, expensive, but worth it in my opinion, absolutely gorgeous colour.

I'm afraid you get the kangarooing to an extent with the dsg, most notably after start up. The 1.5 engine doesn't feel as eager as the 1.4 imo.

E.g. at a junction or roundabout (with poor sight lines) I'm approaching it slowly and the engine cuts out while I'm still moving because I'm not under throttle, no autohold as I'm not stationary; I see there is a gap I can slot into but, as the engine has stopped, there is no immediate response and the approaching vehicle is now much closer and I've already committed myself. Maybe exaggerating by saying 1 to 2 secs. Mine is the newer 1.5tsi 7 speed dsg, I had the 1.4 tsi dsg Octavia before and the Superb is much smoother in the way the start stop operates.

Stop start is irritating and not a little dangerous if you see a gap and want to nip out only to find a second or two delay as the engine restarts. I find only a little movement of the steering wheel will restart the engine, often do that to get it running as traffic lights change to amber.

Mine's been doing the same thing. I just push the button on the driver's seat my profile us assigned to to get it back, but really shouldn't have to do this.
