Apple Car Play Columbus update
Transferring wired Car Play to wireless one cannot be done with firmware update. Lots of Car Play dongles on market, I bet most of them are worth buying.

Battery coding
About Webasto - I never had a problem at -25 C to work for an hour on the first battery. Like I said,10 minutes at 0 C on replacement battery and voltage went trough the bottom. What I wanted to point out, is that I never met such kind of coding anywhere. The coding provided everywhere in VAG forums just did not work. And this one, never met before, just works. Maybe it`s due to Exide, not Varta, as original. Shouldn`t be, but some kind of mystery is present. P.S. I know the metrics for the AGM battery work differently, but the behaviour: driving constant speed, charging at 12,3 V. Lifting the throttle, charging goes to 14,7 V. Stepping on throttle, 12,3 V again. This is definitely not normal (installed Torque app on the phone, which gives instant readings). Edit: Just noticed, that # to allow regenerative charging when slowing down. #. Makes sense. But regen charging only works on braking, not just going engine braking? P.P.S. Start Stop is disabled from the day one. P.P.P.S. At the moment I can see 12,9 V.Which is fully loaded. Never seen this kind of figure before on this battery. Usual was 12,5 after the ride and 12,3 in the mornings. Which is about 50% of capacity. Meaning the battery management system was living his own life. And finally, why this topic? Was considering to buy a new alternator. OEM alternator costs a cent shy from 1400 euros.

Battery coding
NB! something new to coding. All true, but. Replaced the original battery to Exide AGM 82 Ah in March. As my aftermarket`s Webasto Anroid app monitors constantly the voltage, noticed something odd. Sometimes it charged normaly at 14,8 V, sometimes only at 12,8 V. Ok, summer passed, switched Webasto on one morning and after 10 min received message, battery level low (default Webasto minimum is 11,3 V, but I changed it to 11,8 V before I swapped the batteries.) What the heck? When purchased the battery, the shop coded the car with Exide dongle. Well, connected the VCDS, checked. Battery technology was binary AGM. Which is wrong. Changed to Fleece. All other was good, amperage, producer, all ok. But nothing changed. I am doing every day 1 hour to work and 1 hour back. Once or twice a month doing 12 hour 1000 km day trip. So charging should not be a problem, normally. Checked the battery with a tester, SOC about 30% and battery at 40%. Went finally to the dealers. They did a new coding and everything works perfect since:

Front suspension: top dust cover gaiters
I had just last week replaced: one propshaft cover, both front springs with shock bearings. All in all 370 euros, including labour and parts. I suggest to look for some non official garage. This does not affect on your warranty, no need to feed the greedy.

Kodiaq RS mpg?
According to the guy from the official dealership, who sold me the car, diesel RS is more desirable due to consumption and specially for the the torque difference and there is not much of them on aftermarket.

Kodiaq RS mpg?
Diesel RS has 60 l tank capacity. I do usually 75 km to work and the same back. Some urban driving included. The cluster shows the range 700 - 750 km. Couple of times a month I drive 1000 km a day. In these cases I have reached to the range of 830 km. All this in case you do not exceed 110 km/h. When I tow a trailer, range will vary between 580 - 660 km, loaded and uloaded.

How do I clear the DPF filter on 2.0 Diesel?
Just drive as usually and the car takes care for the cleaning itself. No special effort needed for that.

I have activated also locking via remote. Never heard of doing it via Kessy on Kodiaq.

Columbus 9.2 freeze and reboot
Have you tried soft reboot? Hold the power button for about 10 sec until the display switches off and the unit reboots itself. Or try to reinstall the software.

What do I need to know as the new owner of a 2022 Kodiaq RS?
Here I disagree. It is capable for more than you think. Taken 30 degree wet slopes, mud, heavy snow etc etc. The reason here seems to be the offroad mode. It sets all assistants not to react so harsh and electronically imitates locking the differentials. Makes quite a difference compared to the standard mode. It aslo includes the hill assistant, which is just brilliant.

Kodiaq Diesel 4x4 2017 - Juddering when braking
It did judder quite hard. Changed front disks, no difference. Actually local dealer changed a bunch of stuff, including steering rack (cost me eventually total 2800 euros) until some mechanic noticed that the axle beam bolts are loose.

Kodiaq Diesel 4x4 2017 - Juddering when braking
In my case juddering was caused by the loose front axle beam (no kidding!).

Mystery overheating
If it comes and goes, I would say some sensor is faulty or has bad connection at least. What sensor, hell knows, there are tons of these in the modern cars. Maybe get some OBD11, so you can monitor the faults on the go.

DSG second thermostat failiure caused temperatures not reaching the oprational ones, not overheating. Fan is working?

Oil service indication, time or mileage ? reset ?
My Kodiaq doesn`t have such a button.
-
Oil service indication, time or mileage ? reset ?
VCDS can do it. Not sure, but I guess OBD11 can also. Last one costs about 100 euros with PRO app. Maybe dealer can do it cheaper, but the device will be active forever. You do not reset it - it will give an annoiyng bling every time you start the car until you reset it.

Suggestion for Skoda
Mine 2019 car needed a very good USB cable. Better buy some wireless Android Auto / Carplay dongle, problem solved. Unless you have something different going on there.
