Problem solved. When I connected ODIS it auto-identified the car. In the attached screen shot you can see that it says SK37x. But the Kamiq is a SK27x. When I changed this manually ALL controllers were read without issues and coding was a breeze.

Hi, My daughter has lived and worked in the french alps for a few winters and throwing chains on takes her less than 5 minutes in thick snow - they had competitions as you do..... She has had the chains on for a week at a time when there was still thick snow in steep terrain. Driving a Superb I have seen threads where people have fitted snow chains to 18" and 19" tyres. You always hope that you do not need them, but I still "practice" to fit mine and sometimes the roads are not cleared as quick as you hope when there is more than 24 hours worth of snow fall. They just cannot clear all the roads at the same time.

Thanks for the replies. I have got and seen the Wheel / Tyre recommendation list for the Kamiq in the Skoda workshop manual. As googling on the www came up with the suggestion that it is possible to run low profile snow chains on 18" wheels I wanted to know if anyone here has done this. Tyre wise the all-season would enable snow driving. A second set of wheels is not an option because of space issues.

I know it is the hight of summer with heat wave 100...., but I would like to check if anyone has used snow chains on a Kamiq. My daughter's Kamiq SEL runs on 18" alloys. She has got all-season tyres fitted to the 18" wheels and might need to fit snow chains. The Skoda manual recommends snow chains only on the 16" option. I have seen on the www that you could use thinner 9mm chains rather than 12mm for low clearance on 18" wheels. Is there anyone who has done this successfully?

This sounds like scaremongering. With normal use you will have slightly more wear on different tyres unless you religously swap wheels round very regularly. Yes it can be dangerous if one tyre on an axle is brand new and the other only has 2mm. i.e. above wear limit. New tyres should ideally be on the REAR axle as this axle looses grip first in extreme situations - hard breaking on wet surface or hard cornering. If I have a nail in the tyre and it cannot be patched it is not recommended to replace all 4 tyres if the others still have e.g. 4mm. You can do this of course if you want to spend £600 to £1000 for quality tyres. Chinese ditch finders may be cheaper. The Karoq 4x4 is not a performance car and can easily handle one new tyre as long as the others are still fine.

I know this is an older thread. With the Gen 1 Haldex which had a hydraulic pressure control ALL FOUR tyres should have been roughly the same diametre or the Haldex could fail. From Gen 2 onwards the Haldex was electronically controlled and it was not susceptible to tyre differences. The current version on a Karoq is Gen 5. This is a slightly simplified Gen 4 clutch where they dropped the filter. The bottom line is that you can change single tyres.

I had Xenon on the previous SII and retrofitted the HBA camera and the light as you say was good, but matrix LED in most scenarios is so much better. It would be nice if Skoda did sort the beam escaping into oncoming traffic on motorways.

Hi, So a swap is out of discussion. Do you have an idea why I am unable to see the adaptation channels? Other people seem to be able to see them and change the coding.

Hello, I wanted to do some coding on a 2020 Kamiq SEL using ODIS. As the title says I was unable to code 09. I was expecting loads of Adaptations and Plain text / Long coding, but instead this is what I saw with NO options at all. Stg 03 is a similar picture. Is this an issue with ODIS? But I can easily read and code STG 03 and 09 in our SIII. My next thought was, do I want to swap the BCM for a newer or more "advanced". Are BCMs on Kamiq easily interchangeable? The 09 is a BCM A0 Std with PN 2Q0937089C.

Hello, Can anyone tell me if the Kamiq keys can be cloned or added to the car with VCP or ODIS? I called a dealer and they "offered" a replacement for £300.

You can activate CC in addition to ACC.

Hi, I saw the car last night and scanned it. Very different from my SIII. Anyway it has the virtual dashboard and the SW is 5175 and HW is 502. I looked through other controllers and in many the ACC was set as "coded", just not activated.

My question was about activating ACC on a Kamiq with Front Assist and a 3Q0 A5 camera, where TSR is already on board.

Can you tell us what was involved in the coding you did.

Hello, Has anyone fitted the OEM or aftermarket fog lights to their Kamiq? Has Skoda been generous enough to put the wiring loom into the car already in a SEL 2020 model? Also, can the black bumper trim just be cut to shape to accept a fog light or does that have to be replaced??

There is a Kamiq RVC guide on youtube as well.

Hello, I want to change the brake discs on a 2020 Kamiq. I do not have the Skoda /erWin brake system document. I saw a Scala PDF but it does not state to cover the Kamiq. Does anyone happen to have any brake maintenance document?

Did you reverse all your codings inStg19 or is the camera recognised without controller?

I was looking at the Aliexpress RVC retrofit. Where did you route the wires through? Did you push them under the roof lining or go down d-pillar and through door sill trims?

This is great!!! Does anyone have a link to the braking system. I want to change brake discs on a 1.0TSI.

Thank you for the links. I tried to log into my old erWin account and found that they stopped this for the Joe Bloggs.... Should I pretend I am a company and invent a VAT number? Was this a loss maker for VAG? Surely not.

Where do people get manuals from now since ERWIN has closed the doors to normal people, i.e. the owner. Business accounts seem to exist.

Lane assist is an assistant that kicks in when the car is likely to overshoot the marked lane and get you back, so you will be going from edge to edge in wavy lines.

Hello, I am new to Kamiqs. My daughter has just bought a used 2020 SEL manual. I have a few questions driving a SIII and her owning a FII. Does the Kamiq SEL not have ACC as standard? I test drove hers and only saw CC. The car does have front assist, lane assist and blind spot warning, so quite a few systems. If I could not see the ACC, can it be coded in? Also does the Kamiq use the same mirrors as the SIII? They look identical. I am asking because this Kamiq has autodimming mirrors inside and for the driver, BUT not on the passenger side. This was the same on my SIII. I retrofitted an autodimming mirror on the passenger side. Are there any threads for coding options for the Kamiq?

Is there a solution for MIB3 cars at all?
