  1. That's really good news - thanks !
  2. Sensible advice - thanks!
  3. Greetings... I'd like to replace the Swing unit in my Mrs 2014 Yeti S... looking at buying the next level up (Bolero?) off eBay, used. Anyone knows if, by any luck, its a straight-forward plug & play swap!? Or, for any reason, its a headache or will not work at all? The current system has bluetooth for calls only... I'd like it to play music off Spotify too! Thanks...
  4. Nice! http://www.motorsinmotion.co.uk/partpage.php?stockid=1088-301116-1428471&str=21&part=SKODA-YETI-2014-2016-DOOR-CONTROL-UNIT-7N0959795F Sounds promising... thanks!
  5. Thanks Gyp, much appreciated - will look in to these. Not sure about the dash tray... will check tomorrow as car is outside and I'm buried in the sofa. Re under-seat storage, 49 euros each at SuperSkoda - she's not worth it!
  6. Mrs drives a 2014 Yeti S TDi (face lift)... being the S model, comes with next to nothing on it in terms of extras. Anyone can recommend easy / cheap / straightforward upgrades of any sort? Thanks..

    Yeti Lights

    Greetings... hoping to get some advice please! Mrs drives a 2014 Yeti S TDi (face lift)... one of the DRLs (non-LED) has gone so... 1) What Halogen bulb do I need to buy? Looked on Halfords website and can't see DRLs anywhere - are these also called side-lights!? 2) Any good / legal alternatives to standard DRLs which will give a white / LED type light? Not keen on conversion kits etc... just straight-fwd bulb for bulb. 3) Any link to a "how to change the bulb" guide / video ? Thanks!

    Arm rest

    Hi Matt, How hard was it to get the armrest fitted? Thinking of doing the same but don't want to end up with a can of worms! Thanks
  9. Help please... the doors lock/unlock switch (middle console, in between the two front sheets) in my wife's Yeti doesn't work! Literally does nothing. Anyone has any idea what might be?
  10. Advice please - going to view a 2011 Yeti SE I'm thinking of buying on Saturday and am wondering if the bolero unit comes with bluetooth as standard... anyone knows!?
  11. Thanks. Thought so but was hoping I was wrong!
  12. Does anyone know if it's possible to connect two devices to the Columbus unit? In my case, id like to Bluetooth sound from an iPad (which the little one is using to watch her stuff) and also Bluetooth or CarPlay my iPhone.
  13. Currently on a business trip in Kolkata... just saw a white S3 like mine !
  14. What about flashing at the car ahead instead of turning ACC on.. and the guy starts having a road-rage fit, swearing and gesticulating while looking at his rear view mirror!

  16. Indeed a generalisation but... from experience, I find sales staff at dealerships to be either utterly incompetent, lazy or.. often just unashamed liars who will say anything to make a sale.. I wouldn't be surprised if some still tell customers "12 weeks sir" ! I'd be surprised if you can cancel the order that easily. You never been this close from getting your car - soon it'll all be in the past and you'll be driving around turning heads Play the game, get some freebies out of it... then make sure you do not use them for servicing - don't give them a penny more! I ordered my car in July... was told "12 weeks sir" Dealership placed the order with the factory 1 whole month later - August! I got my car... 2 days before Christmas (nearly 6 months from order) Still hate them but.. got my car now
  17. Silly question perhaps but... could YOU be the difference!? (Body temperature)
  18. I very much doubt the break likes will come on every time the ACC breaks... for example, if it's just to maintain speed rather than to literally slow down. I was thinking about this a few days ago, as I was carelessly steering my way through an A round with the ACC on. I bet there's some mathematical logic that determines if the lights go on or not. Such as, how abruptly is the car slowing down... meters per second sort of thing. Surely it's not as straightforward as.. if breaking, irrelevant of of much, lights go on! Have thought about asking a mate to drive behind me while on hands free.. with my ACC on. Just to test it.....
  19. Every morning I get no dab reception when commuting... 15 mile journey, from one city to another. I don't live in the sticks, and neither I work in the sticks.. bang on populous south of England. Work colleague drives an Audi and does a similar journey, but has no issues. Anyone else suffering from dab-alitis!?
  20. I haven't tried it but... I wonder if the "hey Siri" iPhone feature works when the phone is plugged in / CarPlay mode. For anyone not familiar with this feature.. on the iPhone, go: Settings > General > Siri > Allow "Hey Siri" Solves the need to press any button to activate it.. Note only works when the plugged in / on charge.
  21. Exactly what happened to me... Skoda UK telling me "your required date is 13/12/15 so the factory will aim for that, not sooner" when I had asked my lease company for asap delivery. Both lease company and dealership went in to denial and were adamant Skoda UK were wrong. My car was delivered 23/12/15 ! (5 months from order, rather than the 3 months I was quoted)
  22. Top features on the S3: 1 - DSG box (best thing since sliced bread) 2 - Xenon Lights (different car without them) 3 - ACC (very convenient, use it almost every time I drive the car) 4 - Auto-Hold (as above) 5 - Leather Seats (smooth, not cold and easy to maintain) 6 - Parking Sensors (biG car!) Wish I had gone for... 19' alloys (got 18s) + Sunroof... but can't say how worthy they are.
