the arrows specify if it's RHD or LHD, they need to match.

And I know now that it likes cruising at 160 /100mph. And it doesn't really do a number on the consumption, either. But the wipers are crap at 160. And I can't set cruise higher than that, grrr. Today's high score / trip high score (too much rain otherwise!) was 193. Not bad for a 150PS 4x4 brick.

i got the car broken into while in London... glass fixed now but there are lots of chips on the doors. We will see what there is to do about that.

I did say that - the pic appears also when you only have heated seats and the radio is a high level one. There are Superbs out there with radios like the attached. But what is the problem you are trying to solve?

that Kodiaq has a heated wheel and seats. The LCD screencaps shown earlier are for ventilated and heated seats. This is not just a coding change, there needs to be elements in the seat covers and the wiring in place. Ventilated seats are an L&K special, I think (but I didn't spec my car, so...). Ventilated seats always use perforated leather, I think, too. I have heated rears in my current Kodiaq and I have had a heated wheel both in this and the Superb before it. That also had heated seats. the logic: if there's no heated wheel, there is no real reason for the button to do anything other than turn on seat heating at the level you set. Starts at 3, one press more to 2, one press more to 1, one press more to 0. If there's a really simple radio installed, then there is no menu to be shown. the menu is only relevant if you have the heated wheel, so you can tie them together; otherwise the menu is a "nice to have" but not essential. I don't believe I can lock out seat heating for the rear. I could set a temperature if I had 3 zone climate, but I'd have to check on the heating. i'd argue this is valid for both Superb and Kodiaq. The seats are probably on CAN and talk to the system, so I'd expect any errors to be visible. There's also the coding for example for easy entry, so I would expect the acknowledgement that there is a fan in the seat to be listed there - and re-writing it may help. But no guarantees on that.

question - where do the cables for the lid route? I am looking for reverse light for an additional one and I think it's behind the left side (driver's for you) rear panel, over the wheel. Do you have any ideas? (nochmals auf Deutsch - ich will zusätzlichen rückfahrlichter nachrüsten und bräuchte dafür das Signal. Ich gehe davon aus, dass es im Bündel oberhalb vom hinteren Kotflügel ist, denn es geht richtung Klappe. Aber diesen B128 position habe ich noch nicht finden können... ) viel erfolg beim nachrüsten!

it was truly gross on the front so I finally pulled the trigger on some coins for the local pressure wash, hit it with some foam and then took it to the summer house, where I spent an hour or so removing insects from teh front. This week then it needs a clay, seal and wax. Probably taking it to Europe in a week. The pics are from when it was clean. And yes, the light is pretty good :)

in natural habitat and cleaner again:

what's been done? I've been told there is a reset possible. But it can only be done with all four wheels in the air. Have the dampers been changed? If not, why not?

something from yesterday.

signal comes in at hi level from the MIB2.5 Amundsen. So balance and Fader are retained. Goes in to a MiniDSP C-DSP 8x12DL, out on 11 channels at the moment. 3 on each side at the front, 2 on each side at the rear and then the sub. I have only currently connected the front two-ways as we're out of time to do the rear doors probably and i wired everything up. So Dirac will happen at some point, the question is when. And the car speaker connections are all on Speakons, so this should get interesting. I've dropped the rear half of the audio board for the moment, as it's taking up too much boot space ahead of a big trip end of this week.

time has passed and I've been busy with work. But the version 2 of the hifi board is now in place. We are now at: soundigital 800.4 for woofers in all 4 doors (120W each). 400.4 for tweeters in all four doors. (60W each) 400.2 for mids up front (120W each) 1600.1 for sub (so around 1600w for the sub @ 4 Ohm.

ok, thanks, that makes sense. The car hasn't moved but doors have been open - battery measures 12,8 across its terminals with no apparent load. Ctek still says not full, though, which i find strange. Anyway, it's been on charge for several hours this week and I'm happy to take it out on Friday.

echoing: neither comfy for the central adult. the Superb felt slightly wider than the Kodiaq but it will be just as unpleasant. The compromise boot space vs seat space is easier in the Kodiaq with the moving seats (at least mine move forwards / backwards quite a bit. The height of the seat cushion may also make it easier to load child in and out. But getting in to the middle will also involve some acrobatics.

question: what should it be? 13.1 to 13.5V? Something else? my Ctek is claiming the AGM is "orange" status but I'm getting this voltage... and i'm wondering if the Ctek is wrong or if there's a charging issue. thanks!
