Yep - dash light to show ESC off….

Hi. Is anyone using an ottocast mini cube? I got one recently and it will only work sometimes. Sometimes it will work after a bit but mostly it stays trying to connect with the car. Comes up usb connection failed then trys again and again. Sometimes it will connect straight away. Don't know if it's the car, the ottocast or my phone. Just wondering if anyone had similar issues

Light Goods and HGV,s will be fuelling up with DERV for many a year. as will many millions of diesel cars, and petrol cars will be getting fuelled up for a decade or 2. As to BEV,s, plenty people that can offroad park and charge off the road are still not buying or leasing BEV,s. The wish and dream of Politicians or Interested parties is just not happening at the pace they would like.

Nice colour!

Oil companies gave such power. They do pay quite a lot of tax and collect huge amounts too. Also can threaten moving their listing from London to elsewhere. Only consumers can really punish oil companies to sell at a fairer price. Dont fill up completely I use to do, just fill up 90% or 75%. When their sales fall they will react and liwet their prices a bit. The extra VAT the government collect on these high prices is very signicant and they will welcome in these crazy times of decades high bonds and gilts which is hiking their borrowing. Diesel and petrol sellers in the UK know they only have a few years of selling significant volumes of diesel and then soon after that selling petrol so making hay when the sun shines. Crocodile tears perhaps from government and in a tough situation so pleased to see big VAT revenue on fuel sales even if increasingly losing out on excise duties which peaked at £25B per annum but no rapidly falling to £20B and a steeping slope downwards due to more BEVs and Hybrids.

If you want to know how we are being ripped off by the authorities, watch the YT channel "The Fine Print"

Price-gouging. Three Monkeys Government / Government Agency. Supposedly the Competitions and Markets Authority found no evidence of that by UK Fuel Retailers. Or 'Widespread Price Gouging in the UK'. Obviously they are incompetent and not fit for purpose. I have never understood why only one Competitions & markets Authority, or as the were called Competitions Commission. They have a monopoly on things.

Thanks. I can get the first three stages, no problem. When I get to Software Update, it offers the current, then a second choice. I am nervous of the 'poke and hope' approach, so where do I go next and what card should be in the SD (1?) slot? Can I also ask what you mean by ''then picture"?

Toddington services near Lutton i gather. Profiteering !

Here, they shove the price up instantly without filling their tanks

There are still places at that price but maybe they have not had to fill their tanks this week.

Last week I paid £1.80

It is more than that oop north at some BP, Shell, Esso, Texaco etc. PS. I would rather have a litre of go go juice than a cup of Costa. I do like where charging an EV gets you a free hot drink. But then the electricity is very expensive.

£2.12 a litre, where is that?

Hi, I still didn't find any solution. No idea wthat's the problem. It looks like it's global problem, pleae have a look at: https://www.reddit.com/r/GooglePixel/comments/1r3cznd/psa_pixel_10_vwaudiskodaseat_mib3_android_auto_is/

Fancy a coffee and maybe a few litres of fuel ?

That time again.

Yeah, I have chatted to him now that I have been elucidated and we think he should stick to using CarPlay to show current maps on the screen.

Think it's this FeC that is required based on the more incredible bash documentation 023100EE There is a catch that you have to check that the firmware is applicable for the patch. The project tells you if it isnt. Some Audi drivers in the past have updated the firmware so it gets to a point where the patch has been written. A kind soul wrote the patch for my Seat so I didn't have to update the firmware that was 5 years ago. So there will be a table in the github project that shows which firmware release it works with, failing that it tells you when you come to the back up phase. Anyhow you can see why I don't experiment with this once it's working. ... all about your friends car.

OK, forgive the ignorance. What do I need to do/add to an ordinary SD card to make it work as the Satnav data storage? (that's if it can be done .... )

Thanks guys. I’m glad it wasn’t me missing something obvious. I used to think of my Škoda as a poor man’s Audi, but the more I experience both brands, the more I have a definite preference for Skoda. Now all I need to do is wait for 473.

Here my system data:

Dozens of reports on the Facebook groups. Skoda supposedly deploying an update to fix it.
