I'm never going to get around to fitting this so I've put the unit I bought over a year ago on eBay if anyone would like to bid on it? eBay item number: 181629582905

So it seems that it is just the led light in the instrument panel that's faulty? I'll live with that and leave it to the dealer to sort out next service. Many Thanks.

Hi all, I noticed that the green indicator light in the dash was not illuminating when I had the dipped beam headlights on. (full beam/fogs/reversing indicators still work) I then noticed that the 'left lights on' warning chime/beep didn't sound when I turned off the ignition and opened the door. I assumed a simple fuse but can't find any 'blown'? Also no fault warnings displayed. All lights are still working so wasn't going to take it in to the dealer until next service. Any advice please?

Don't buy this to update the remote Yeti key. It is too small, and shows the original badges border around it. No size indicated on the webpage. The original badge doesn't seem to be removeable either. P&P is excessive as only posted with a large letter 1st class stamp in a padded envelope. I will be returning the two I bought, for a refund.

How kind! PM sent. Many Thanks.

New bonnet and hub badges supplied by dealer. I had to go with a 'bigfoot' cover from Supaskoda for the rear until the new logo rear badge is available after the facelift is launched. Looking good. Have to order steering wheel and keyfob stickers from Pastyboy now and that completes the set.

I discovered it's possible to remove the covers without prising off the glass. Just follow steps 1 & 2 of your pdf guide. There were no screws holding the plastic, only clips. Pop off - pop back on, with care. Thanks again.

Caution noted Nigel, thanks. If it vibrated or buzzed, I could always take it off again? I've asked my dealership to look into this for me.

Thanks for advice but maybe I don't want to reach my pockets? Yes, eBay has them but nothing specifically for the Yeti. Would a VW T4 one fit, doest thee know?

I have my driver's seat quite high and (like all Yorkshiremen) I have short arms and deep pockets. Joking aside, I find I have to reach down a little to change gear (manual). Is it possible to extend the gear stick a few inches?

Many Thanks Merlinman. That's just 'Magic'!

I have ordered a pair of covers which are just 'primed'. Don't know wether to paint or wrap? Do I also need a special tool to remove? Any advice appreciated.

No, nothing in writing but it was a gentleman's agreement and it will be honoured. On collection the dealer did re-iterate that they had had a memo to the effect that 'all builds after week 35 would have the new badges'. Nothing mentioned about facelift only? I'm a happy bunny.

Quite right, well half right. Old badge but will change them all, no-charge! Great Dealer in Darlington. Couldn't do enough for me.

I pick my new Yeti up tomorrow (only a month late!) so will see what logo it has. Having been told that it will be the 'new' one, if it isn't do I have the right to have Skoda change the whole set?

I certainly will. It will save a few pennies and time running around trying to swop the old badges myself.

I've just been advised by my Skoda dealer that all Yeti's built after week 35 (w/k 26/8/13) should be delivered with the 'new' logo badges and, if not they would swop them for me! Result! New Yeti being delivered week 37, yay!

Excellent as ever. Thank you. I'll follow your guidance above. I also found a guy in my area who has the vcds cable and software to code the headunit for a very reasonable fee.

Thanks for that DrPinball. I also found this: http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/171046202136?ssPageName=STRK:MEWAX:IT&_trksid=p3984.m1438.l2649 Would you know if that boot handle is the same as in the Yeti? It's intended for a VW PASSAT TIGUAN JETTA or GOLF. Much neater if suitable and not much more in price?

Excellent! I'll order one right away. Anyone in the NE of England with a VCDS cable that can help me with that part? Many Thanks again DrPinball.

Kind of you Eddie-NL but I could hardly be further away! I'm in the frozen NE of England. Thanks anyway.

Many Thanks for your help DrPinball. Most extensive advice but, I think beyond my abilities! May have to engage the services of a wizard. lol I also found this: http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/330683500060?ssPageName=STRK:MEWAX:IT&_trksid=p3984.m1438.l2649 intended for a Skoda Fabia. Would you know if this is suitable for the Yeti too? I will be interested to read of your progress with your project. Thanks again.

I have read somewhere that the Amundsen+ Satnav unit is capable of supporting a reversing camera set-up. What camera does it accept and what is needed to be set/adjusted to make it work please? 2013 Yeti SE Plus 2.0 TDI CR 140PS 4X4 DPF Corrida Red

Discovered that it is fixed with the options it comes with. May have to think again!

http://www.skoda.co.uk/news/Pages/Walk-on-the-wild-side-with-the-new-ŠKODA-Yeti-Adventure-special-edition.aspx New Adventure Special Edition announced 2 days ago! Very little info yet available but it seems it is based on the best-selling SE trim level but includes more than £2,250 worth of additional equipment at no extra cost. This includes metallic paint (silver only or flat white) with a black roof, custom 2-colour alloys, Admundsen+ with DAB and Black Mirror covers. I am intrigued as to what else it will have as I was about to order the SE plus 2ltr 140 with a few extras. May have to 'hold fire' on ordering until more is revealed. Sale date for this special is 22nd July 2013.
