  1. I have a Monte, but do not appear to have the ambient lighting. Oh well.
  2. Apparently there is a sensor that turns in on or off. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Sn6Bbhcep18

    If no physical Off switch is fitted then it is not intended to be switched off. "But the fact is that you can switch it off" Only if you use and are competent with VCDS

    Someone pointed out that turning it off could have legal implications. It is fitted as a safety feature and, I assume, approved by whatever bodies governs these things relating to car safety. If no physical Off switch is fitted then it is not intended to be switched off, as the auto braking was on my Yeti.

    I had my first event with the Lane Assist, a car and a half wide road in Wales. With a white line marking the nearside edge and a broken white centreline, the lane assist kept me safely on my side of the road as tractors and utility vehicles hurtled very closely by my car. I can understand some people taking fright as "a ghostly hand" takes the wheel to guide away from a road line but after a while you should get used to it surely? just as you get used to the width of a car when you first started driving.
  6. Is it possible for the Kamiq drivers seat to gradually go down? is there anything in the mechanism that can leak, like the gas strut on an office chair.
  7. DAB can be very fickle, in some places around me its existence is very sharply defined i.e on or off around built up areas. I had to install an aerial at home as reception was limited to the RH side of my kitchen window, nowhere else in the house.
  8. Might it be that your battery is low?
  9. Has anyone tried this? https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1DjBucrBZMs
  10. Hello, it's a Nextbase 312 GW that works really well. I had noticed many cars have these dashcams on the dash top rather than up behind the interior mirror.
  11. Up until now I have plugged my dashcam into the 12v dash plug and just pressed the wiring into the trim joints. This worked for two Yeti and a Fabia Monte but this Kamiq has me stumped. I don't really want to hardwire it but I like the look of the Black Vue kit, if I must.

    Did you find what you wanted?
  13. I had an accessory arm rest with one car I think it came from either Amazon or e-bay
  14. I cannot get to my Kamiq at the moment so what is the boot dimension (rear seats in situ) L x W x H, please. Everywhere I have looked just gives the volume.

    I don't actually want you to do anything, The lane assist being cancelled by indicating is merely for information.
  16. gumdrop replied to TJP's topic in Škoda Kamiq
    Indicate before moving out of lane, this cancels lane assist fot the current maneuver.

    Other makes are available https://www.travelsmartbootliners.co.uk/skoda-kamiq-car-boot-liner-and-bumper-flap/
  18. Still "running in" short to medium trips around 30mpg to 45mpg at the moment.

    I think you may be after a boot Liner the boot mat, generally, is tailored for the boot interior area.
  20. That is very true, I was very (fiercely) possesive of my seat settings, if it went in for a service . I told the driver that collected the Yeti not to adjust the drivers seat on pain of death!
  21. I have had two Yeti 2L 110ps front wheel drive, and towed Eriba and Bailey vans within their weight limits, beautiful drive (often as quickly as possible) I am 6' 2" and about 15 st. with long legs 33"good luck with your search.
  22. I bought Anker usb A to usb C adapters to use with my memory stick, later I noticed there is a usb C sandisk memory stick, provided your computer has usb C ports..
  23. I picked up my new Yeti hitched up my caravan and drove to Norfolk. I have sciatica (and always take my wallet out of my back pocket!) we stopped once at a services. I put my seat heater on at the start of the trip. Oh, and I had three discs removed as these were major contributers of Sciatica. Apart from the normal need to stretch my legs it was fine.

    I have a bag in the loft, we used it twice it was in my book very good. it rained (surprise!) both times and it stayed dry. Down side, once loaded it was difficult to remove and the access to it to remove smaller items was a pain. Hauling the softer bulkier items like bedding and extra clothing was much better. I changed to a rear opening top box which due to the 3 pre-packed internal bags was much easier to handle (I think it was an Ocean 80) The big bag went into the boot for overnight stops.
