Carbon vinyl wrap gets my vote for under £10 which would look smart on WA66 ZFX and some left to wrap the mirrors?

Hi all Not sure if this is the appropriate thread but: I bought a rear camera from ebay which was fine but the lines did not move and the picture wasnt great, that had 2-wires into the plug on the MIB . I upgraded to one from Aliexpress which was recommend on a thread and this as more wires. https://www.aliexpress.com/item/4000164914793.html?spm=a2g0s.9042311.0.0.73e14c4dfQHeyz On this the lines move and the picture is much better. I have a removable tow bar and removable connecting plug/adaptor. There is some odd behaviour from the camera/car which perhaps someone can clarify? With no tow bar fitted or connector fitted, sometimes I momentarily see most of the number plate as if the camera is looking down before it then shows the normal view behind the car. Its as if the camera has more than one mode/position. This could be a mode for looking at the tow ball? With the tow bar and connector plug fitted, but nothing hitched or connected, the camera sometimes shows a shaded semicircle from the back of the car over the tow bar. This is not always there. This seems odd because from what I understand having wired the tow bar, the connector is straight through to allow the electric for the towed electrics to be connected. So how would the car know I have fitted the electrical connector? Perhaps the parking sensors are seeing something? With the tow bar and connector plug fitted, but nothing hitched or connected, the camera usually shows the normal view behind the car. As mentioned the picture is excellent and the picture of the tow ball when reversing to connect is really clear allowing visual as close as 3cm from the bumper, the tow ball is approx 10cm from the bumper 😀 Thanks Simon

The rear indicator Twenty20 Cree bulbs arrived and fitted. Nothing on the dash to indicate a bulb failure. When comparing each other in direct bright sunshine, the Cree bulb looks at least twice as bright as the original. The flash of the Cree bulbs is crisp and seems crisper than the original bulb, although this is somewhat subjective. The pair were £22 inc post

Many thanks for the update, will order the indicators in the sale

Just ordered the twenty20 bulbs, should be here next week and will provide some feedback

Ref wireless carplay, Aliexpress have a sale on, again!, and there is a wireless carplay dongle for under £90 which looks to be the same design but not the same name as the one @sashagrace recommended and I have coming slow mail from China. Might be worth a look? https://www.aliexpress.com/item/4000477009772.html?spm=a2g0o.productlist.0.0.d7d35444nAZBpv&algo_pvid=9d34a3d3-8142-4f0f-b176-4fb57fffab90&algo_expid=9d34a3d3-8142-4f0f-b176-4fb57fffab90-5&btsid=0ab6fb8315925534669571932eadb0&ws_ab_test=searchweb0_0,searchweb201602_,searchweb201603_

Hi all. Looking to retrofit dynamic indicators to my 2019 reg F/L. Most of the sources to buy state the dynamic indicators fit years 2015 to 2018. The pictures on these sites show indicators which look externally the same as those fitted to my car but it is not conclusive. Can anyone advise if the mirrors and indicators in them are the same on the Mk3 and Mk3 F/L year 2019? Many thanks

Hi all As usual pse send me to the right topic if this is covered else where. I have surfed the web and this site looking for rear indicator LED bulbs for my Mk3 MY2019. There is plenty of info which seems to advise the fitting of some fairly expensive bulbs. There seems to be plenty on Amazon for example which say they are canbus and have leds on the top and sides, next day delivery and at reasonable prices. Also available from other shops 😃. Before I buy, has anyone fitted some recently that work and where were they from? https://www.amazon.co.uk/bright-1156BAU15S-144smd-Signal-Anti-strobe/dp/B07N4JZQ43/ref=sr_1_9?adgrpid=52623248305&dchild=1&gclid=Cj0KCQjwoaz3BRDnARIsAF1RfLfD6RiGUVPNqLZLqQ7OMUuivIvgGwNudRpkYUfu9AB_JmS7iE1ZDiUaAkfeEALw_wcB&hvadid=259042407010&hvdev=c&hvlocphy=1006522&hvnetw=g&hvqmt=e&hvrand=15312569341499160874&hvtargid=kwd-299500454070&hydadcr=6818_1766411&keywords=py21w+led+bulb&qid=1592549296&sr=8-9&tag=googhydr-21

Hi in this link all sorts of elements are changing colour including the actual dial surround. Also when the revs increase the number next to the needle gets bigger. There are all sorts of changes being shown. There are other similar videos mostly VAG cars, but I see no description as to how this is being done. It all looks too advanced to be OEM based. Open to ideas

Glad it works for you, not sure if it’s an additional extra on your model? Let’s hope for a rain free Summer 😎

Agree with the last post. The sensitive allows you to finesse how the RLS reacts to the amount of water hitting the screen. The auto rain system proves most effective when a truck coming the other way or same way and dumps a wave of water on the screen making it impossible to see. Before you can react and move the wipers stalk to fast, the system has engaged the wipers to a speed which possibly exceeds the max setting achieved by the stalk and cleared the screen. Well that’s how it looks. Very useful on motorways at speed in sudden down pours. Also useful to tweak the sensitivity when theres just drizzle. 80% of the time I leave it in the middle sensitive position. Its not everyone’s taste, which is why it is an option in the menu.

Hi, there are some uTube videos of people changing the colour of the virtual cockpit dials through the head unit to match the led strips in the doors. These were either Audi or VW but the dials look much the same They never show if there were VCDS ir software tweaks behind this Is it possible to do his to the Skoda dials. If covered by another topic please sign post

I have now managed to restore the menu option for rain sensitive front wipers by reverting the last 8 changes to VCDS. I usually only make a few tweaks at a time and then use the car for daily use which shows any other associated issues. Therefore I tend not to follow the very good advice to record exactly what changes I make Recently I have made a number of tweaks and due to lockdown the car has not been out much So I had no idea which tweak removed the menu option. Google was nothing but doom ref not being able to reset the VCDS. Until today I found an article describing the detailed Change Logs VCDS keeps of all your changes. I reversed all the tweaks back to mid March which resolved my issue. There was also a log from 2018 when I installed a camera on my previous VRS. And 2019 for a towbar fit The logs are in Excel so I have saved them else where as well in case I upgrade the VCDS or laptop. I am fairly sure which file I made an error on, so will have another at the HBA tweak and check as I go Not saying the 2 types of VCDS keeps capture everything but it has saved a world of ££££

Yes it’s possible my meddling has removed the wiper option, I bought the car from a Skoda dealer in March and have no idea if the option was ever in the menu. Will take to the local dealer and see what they make of it For HBA activation best to start with the Britskoda VCDS adaption topic and see if that works for you, if not try google for Audi HBA VCDS which has some other tweaks, sorry not sure which I used

Enabled through VCDS following guides on Britskoda and google. I have the right symbol on dash, not had a chance to see if it works with lockdown and the light nights. Not sure if it’s going to be an option I will use but it’s now available in the menu so it’s easy it select on or off

Kenai, you have summed up my problem perfectly. I am lacking the option in the menu. JR, you have removed this option in VCDS, can you tell me which module or what coding you changed? Thanks for the input everyone, the car is still roadworthy, just a pain when things are not how you prefer them

Checked the wiper stalk and it has rain drops on it, however, that is not resolving my having no way to select it in the Wipers and Mirrors menu. Had a look round the adaptations in 9 Elec and not found anything which seems related to menu front wipers

Will have a check and take a picture. I enabled HBA and all the options for that appeared in the Lights menu, the symbol on the dash now has the A in the main beam symbol. Not checked it actually works as I think it requires a minimum speed so putting my hand over the sensor is not definitive

Thanks all, its exactly the opposite, I went out today in various levels of rain and the wipers in the first setting operated intermittently at a speed determined by the setting on top of the lever. I expected the wiper speed to change with the severity of the rain hitting the screen like my previous VRS. The manual gives the impression that there is an option to change when the lever is in the first position from it being intermittent or to be responsive to the amount of rain on the screen. I have no option in the menu. I put the lever in the first position and used a hose pipe on the screen and it made no difference to the wiper speed. I agree of the 2 settings I would have thought VAG would have defaulted to the rain sensing setting but so far mine does not seem this way I will have a look in the BCM for something front wiper related

I am hoping a yr 19 Challenge 245 VRS has a rain sensor. It looks like there is a sensor under the screen by the mirror. My last yr 15 VRS had the sensor and option in the menu. Open to ideas

Yep, the problem seems to be there is no option to choose the position to be either Intermittent or automatic rain sensing in the menu in the info centre.

Hi all First time out in the rain today in 19 plate VRS since buying the car in March and no automatic rain sensing for front wipers. Read the manual and in the MIRRORS and WIPERS menu there is an option to select the rear wiper automatic function on and off but no option for the front. Had a look at 9 Elect, selected 07 then the RLS sub menu and the only option for the RLS sensor was ticked Any advice please

Sasha Thank you for the quick reply, I will buy the same as your version on from Ali currently at £94. Just for info, You were in a thread ref front spoilers/splitters which covered a number of designs. I went for a £41 one on ebay which comes in 3 parts. Fitted it yesterday ad it is still there after a run up the dual carriageway. While perhaps not as well made as the one over £100 it fits well to the profile of the car, left picture shows the shape best and is a cheap curb clipper Yep probably wrong thread, but as I was here😁
