Thanks to all of you who have responded. I am delighted to say that I contacted Aston Bodger from the list of member with VCDS and he was able to change the settings as supplied in your link within a couple of minutes. Can't express my thanks enough to A B for his help and to all of you who responded.. Cheers guys.

Thanks for that. Sorry to appear a bit dim, but this VCDS is new to me. Do many independent dealers use this or where can I get someone who uses one to set my car up? Wouldn't want to get one myself as I only have this one specific requirement to sort out and when I tinkered with cars, they were Bond Minicars, A35s, and Ford Pops !

I asked the dealer to set the option as per your instructions, but he tried and said that there wasn't that option on his system, certainly not in that module. I rang Skoda UK yesterday and their technical people (via customer services who rang me back) said that the option doesn't exist. Clearly you have managed to get it done. Can you confirm the reference you have given and have you the name of a dealer who managed it? And did they use their Skoda dealer equipment or VCDS? I would really like this automatic facility. I know I can use 2 seat settings to achieve the same thing, but it's a pain. If anyone else has this option set, please let me know as the dealer probably thinks I am mad!

Thanks for that. That was exactly what I was looking for.

Good afternoon all. Picking up my Superb tomorrow. I was wondering one thing, though. I am sure I read somewhere that you can set the options to make the seats slide back when you switch off the ignition and forward again when you put the key in. I had that on my Chrysler 300C and found it very useful. Is this something available on a 62 reg Elegance 170 DSG and if so, can I set it through the menu or is it something the service team have to do? If it's the former, then I will read the book to see how. If it's the latter, then I will try to get the dealer to do it when I pick it up. Many thanks.
