Wow! its been a while... but if I recall correctly the Boot lighter/accessory socket has a fuse under the bonnet whereas the "inside" sockets have a fuse under the panel by the side of the fron facia. You need to open the drivers door and ease the end off that panel to get to it. it was a bit of a pain because you cannot see how it is attached. Hope this helps.

I have noticed something strange. I have a new Samsung S8 replacing a Moto G. I also have a Windows Lumia 930 (which is the best phone ever, although I know I am in a minority). When the S8 is connected to the car (Superb 2010 /Columbus), and I get a text, and I read it in the car, the text is then not available/stored in the phone itself. I did not have this very annoying "feature" with either the Moto G or the Lumia. Do I need to set something on the phone? Is it just me? Any info gratefully recieved.

I think what you need is "Android Auto" app. if its available is UK/Europe...

Does it now? I had never noticed that, and had the impression that I always disabled the childrens (rear) windows... I will have to have a play... when I have got this damned cover off !!!

Well its taken a long long time, but the dealer finally relented and took a serious look at this about 10 days before the warranty was up... had the car for 7 of those days, and finally "admitted" (or at least could find no other explanation) that it was down to a firmware upgrade about 4 weeks before I first posted here. They tried (I believe) 4 other firmware versions but none fixed it, so eventually they got the OK from Skoda Warranty to replace the whole Columbus unit ! Works fine now ;-) thepuss

OK.. feeling like a right twit now... Trying to remove the fusebox cover on driver's side dash end... door open, key (instead of screwdriver) in slot at bottom like in the picture in the manual, and... The whole panel sort of flexes, but I can't find anything for the key/screwdriver to actually engage with, and I really dont want to force and break anything. How the hell does this cover come off? Spent best part of 90mins looking for images etc on google and found nothing helpful ! Please tell me how this cover is held on and how to really get it off !!! Thanks and Happy Christmas to all ! ThePuss

Thanks Lee... think it is the Passenger side though... Drivers side has a AirBag warning on it... and picture in my manual shows LHD model. Happy Christmas!

If there is an "inside" fuse box as well that makes sense... as boot accessory socket is on a separate fuse. The one I'm after (I hope!) is F35 which is 25A... ThePuss

Ok, am I being a bit thick here? I don't think it is that clear in the manual, but... Are there 2 fuse boxes? one by passenger side of the dash, AND the one under the bonnet I already checked? (I'm not going out to the car in this rain!!!) ThePuss

My front and backseat cigarette lighter sockets don;t work "all of a sudden"... I suspect "little hands" but have no proof of any fiddling. (I don't actually have cigarette lighters, just the plastic cover plugs, and MP3/phone charger accessories. However, the socket in the boot still works fine. As far as I can see from the manual the fuse would have to be a 50A under the bonnet ( F29 "Accessory Equipment" ) ... but I could be wrong. Anyway this fuse is fine. Is there any in-line fuse on the circuit ? And, is this something I can fix (assuming it doesn't blow repeatedly), or does it need a dealer visit? ThePuss.

Thanks! Seems out of the way from dust, etc. so perhaps its nothing to do with the mic.

Can someone tell me where the mics are on a Superb II please (10 plate)? Recently the unit will not accept/understand voice-nav commands ... it keeps saying "Pardon" on commands that worked perfectly well before, and people have been saying the quality of voice on phone calls has deteriorated. Any other ideas? Thanks

Does anyone happen to know if I need to use a "Skoda" v8 maps disk, or would any VAG one work? I have a mate getting a new VW soon and am hoping I could swipe his disk for an hour or two....

Rockhopper, I guess if I'd thought about it, I should have realised that as I have already investigated the unit under the seat. Thanks for the clarification! Puss

(Originally posted in a Yeti forum...) Has anyone had any success with this (that is if they experienced the problem anyway...) ? I have an HTC Desire, rooted, running Cyanogen Mod7, and using the Android RSAP utility on a Superb II 2010 Columbus. The connects fine and works fine, but not all my contacts will sync to the car. I use Google for managing my contacts anyway, and will continue to do so... but I have a sneaky feeling that there is something in the Google contacts area that is causing certain records not to copy across. I have tried to see if anything distinguishes these "not copied" records from others, but: * i have records with addresses that sync and don't sync * i have records with phone numbers with spaces and "+" signs that sync and don't sync * i have records with nicknames that sync and don't sync * i have records with email address(es) that sync and don't sync * etc so I can't see anything obviously different from one to another. I'm going to try a full delete, re-pair/connect of the phone, and new upload to see if that at least gets me to a state where I have all my current contacts, even if it won't add new ones. But I'd be grateful for any experiences Puss.
