Columbus Wireless AA
The only requirement is that your head unit and phone manage Android auto (wired). Which I believe do. So of you can connect wired AA then you are good to go. When the dongle detects your bt, il will automatically activate your WiFi. I recommend updating it before first use I use it on an amundsen mib 2.0 and it is flawless no need to go more expensive unless you want a dongle that also manages car play. In that case the carlinkit 5.0 would be your choice. Good thing with this aa dongle is the usb key form factor, it doesn't dangle around and sits in the usb socket

Columbus Wireless AA
I use this one (new model) Cheap and works flawlessly. It keeps the original Bluetooth connection and "replaces" the usb connection by WiFi 5 https://a.aliexpress.com/_EHlZvtT

Idle RPM Octavia 1.5TSI MK3 2020
Maybe the 1.5 Lacks torque for the ac and therefore has to rev higher to manage the compressor

Switch off cigarette ligther 12v when car closed

Switch off cigarette ligther 12v when car closed
It is an adaptor that you plug in the usb port and lets you have wireless android auto rather than plugging the phone to the USB port. The usb port has slow charging and the phone gets really hot on it. With the dongle, the phone can charge on the cigarette lighter at hight wattage and still lets you navigate and other... Android auto being using the phone features like navigation, Spotify and so on the head unit

Switch off cigarette ligther 12v when car closed
So I have the space to move the fuse but there is no pin inside. I guess we are stuck with unplugging phone chargers and others. I didn't use the charger until today as I now have a wireless android auto dongle. Before the phone was plugged to the USB port

Switch off cigarette ligther 12v when car closed
ok so after going mad I got the PDF manual from the SKODA site. Also I was wrong, it is the usb that shuts down after contact not the cigarette ligthter. So it seem that my car is like hat Brrezy_Pete said, my 40 fuse can be it 2 positions and it is actually in the up position. I will open my fuse box later and check all of this.

Switch off cigarette ligther 12v when car closed
So I am an idiot, took the manual out of the car a few months ago to gain space in the glove box and forgot where I put it. So I can't match the Fuses....

Switch off cigarette ligther 12v when car closed
Why would a manufacturer go to so much trouble and change a Fuse box? Is this a uk mandatory thing?
-
Switch off cigarette ligther 12v when car closed
It is odd. On my 2014, I have a usb cable that has a permanent led. When the car is closed, the led goes if after a minute ir so. I think ut does the same with the cooler in the trunk

enquiry about remapping mk3 diesel
I can't say, I am not a fan of remaps, in France there are too many insurance issues.

enquiry about remapping mk3 diesel
Here is a graph from a reputable tunner in France. You will get much more torque on the launch so yes, better pulling at low revs. This being said, watch your clutch
