Would you mind telling me where you found a PDF version? On the Skoda site, I can only find the online version and like you, I would prefer a document.

Just to check @SkOmk4 - does that mean that you can put the files on the root of the USB and it doesn't matter that there are other folders alongside it ("Music")? You don't have to use a blank USB?

@Dmpsousa So you cannot do what is shown in this video? https://www.skoda-auto.com/services/octavia-videos#virtual-cockpit

OK thanks, this is exactly the kind of knowledge one gets from this forum and which is not available in the wild (or with most dealers...).

I think there are 2024 model year mk4s that are pre-facelift, but I could be wrong.

I am wondering if there is a way to determine from a VIN number whether a car is facelift or not. If the VIN has "NX" in it, does that mean it is pre- or post-facelift?

I did some more digging and on the Belgian Skoda site, the wheel 5E3601011B (18") and the kit 5E3093860B are listed as compatible with the mild hybrid IV, so it seems I have my answer.

I am not sure this refers to the mEHV mild hybrid, as the 48V battery stored under the passenger seat should have no impact on the space available in the boot for a spare tyre. But, perhaps it is rather the 17" wheels on the mEHV that makes the 18" spare unsuitable - this is exactly what I am trying to establish. Interestingly, while on the Czech site they mention two exceptions (hybrid/CNG and sound system), on this site they only mention the sound system as preventing the use of this spare: https://shop.wingsskoda.co.uk/products/skoda-spare-wheel-set-octavia-iv

Thanks @headgaar. I am new to the world of OBD; are there many parameters that you can change without having the ability to unlock SFD? I assume to unlock SFD, one needs to have both the OBDEleven OBD connector and their Pro plan. Perhaps you are lucky because your Kodiaq 2019 is old enough not to have SFD lock?

Just to make sure, is this the correct spare wheel even when the normal tyre dimensions are 205/55R17? (I am aware that some Octo IVs have R16, some R17, so want to be clear whether the R18 spare fits both.)

@headgaarThat sounds interesting! Do you have some OBD apps to recommend that you have used with the Vgate device?
