Ask your dealer, or find an enthusiast on Briskoda, to reset your computer to Australia. This will then display mph. You are breaking no law by doing so. A vehicle only has to be capable of showing mph and kph.

I have had tow bars with electrics fitted to two Yetis by Phil Taylor Towbars near Portsmouth philtaylortowbars.co.uk No problems encounter with rear parking sensors or car computer. Phil owns a Yeti and has fitted many Yetis. So reasonably priced compared with local fitters that it has been worth a 250-mile round trip (and still save money). Tows my boat beautifully.

um...does anyone have a cable and software, please?

Yep, right enough. Nevertheless, when I had my previous Yeti reprogrammed, 'Australia' was the setting that renders the maxdot as mph.

I know this was covered some years ago, but I would be grateful for some up-to-date information. Having written off my lovely first Yeti a couple of weeks ago, I have just collected a replacement. The dealership said they would change the computer to 'Australia ' so the maxdot shows mph. They didn't do it. Is there anyone within the lovely Briskoda community with the magic cable and software to do the job, please?

My lovely Yeti SE L Drive was totalled at the weekend after taking in too much sea water. (I know, I shouldn't have taken her for a swim!) I have sourced a second-hand replacement. I would like to have a reversing camera (that displays through the in-built SatNav). A couple of Skoda dealers tell me they cannot supply and fit. Does anyone know a dealer that does? Thanks

Good spot! Yes I did mean mpg...could regularly get 50mpg on a run...the kindest thing I can say about my Yeti on the same route and similar condition is – not yet! On a positive note, with the back seats down, the Yeti becomes a family van. Handy for recycling centre visits and shipping kids to uni.

Earlier this year I moved to a Yeti (SEL 1.2 Drive) from a Nisan Note. As much as I love my new purchase, I found the Note to have more rear-seat legroom than the Yeti. I am 6'6" and adult passengers could comfortably sit behind me without me having to compromise my driving position. Also, the mph was superior to the Yeti. I read that your wife doesn't like the Nissan nor the Yeti. Fair enough. Perhaps inviting her to list the cars she does like might a way to take the heat out of the debates. Wish you well in your decision-making.

Thanks, all. Very helpful.

Thanks, I took delivery of the car in February 2017. Bit surprised to have a service so soon.

Have just done 8,500 miles and a waring 'Oil service in 800 miles' appears on the Maxdot. Does this comprise a simple oil change. Is it likely to be covered in my PCP two services pack?

Many thanks for this. Great solution.

Has anyone found a way to change to voice for the nav guidance on the Amudsen satnav?

I want to get a towbar fitted on my yeti SEL Drive 1.2 petrol. Because it has rear sensors, do I have to get a detachable bar? (I priced one at a dealer I saw mentioned on the forum and the quote, with single electrics, was £540.) What, if any, are the disadvantages of having a standard bar? also, as I am on a PCP, do I have to tell Skoda that I am adding the bar? Thanks.

SETTING/Alt Speed dis ticked gets this on the MFD

The accompanying pic might help. Reading through the posts, I rcognise that some people don't see the point of this. Fair enough, but it helps me and I am grateful to the Briskoda brother who coded it for me.

Just a comment on the 'read small close numbers, of Expatman's post. I have had my Yeti recoded so mph shows on the Maxdot...the digits are big, clear and easy to read. They are a much larger font size than the default kph read-out.

In answer to the original post: after 12 years of driving cars with digital mph displays, this February, I took delivery of our Yeti. I was disappointed not to be able to get mph on the Maxdot through the settings menu and find the speedo tricky to judge on those pesky occasions of keeping 30.50 or 70 mph speed limits, and of setting the cruise control accurately. Last Saturday, a kind Forum member did his recoding magic with a cable and a laptop. The Maxdot now clearly displays mph, with the settings menu option of changing to kph should I wish. if there is someone near you who is offering a similar service, my advice is to take them up on their offer. If the kph display is an irritation and a hundrance, getting it recoded will make driving much more pleasurable, relaxing and safe.

Thanks. Although, helpfully, it was on this forum that I discovered what a VCDS is and the fact that it could work magic – it's not a discussion I'm after; it's a magician.

Is there anyone with a VCDS in the Croydon area that can help me modify the Maxdot km/h to mph reading, please? If so, please PM me.

Thank for the very kind offer, I popped into Halfords and picked up a packet SimonVespa suggested

Thanks all. For ease of fitting, I have bought original Skoda flaps below dealer price on ehBoy

Ah, so not a discount to Briskodians, then. At least I can visit them online to find part numbers, before I go search the likes of ehBoy.

Sounds like a balance between good looks (Skoda) and efficiency (larger ones). What, please, is the Caffyn's discount?

I am thinking about fitting front and rear mudflaps. In terms of keeping muck off the car, do Skoda's own brand work, or is there a generic brand that works better?
