  1. That's interesting. I have problems with DAB signal disappearing. I also have have a 3-way cigar lighter adapter with a 5v USB outlet. I have Nextbase cameras front & rear. At one time, I had a cheapo camera on the back, but it caused terrible interference with FM radio.
  2. Me too. I cancelled mine because I have the seat all the way back and all the way down, but Skoda don't like that, even when stored in that position. It would always move the seat upwards and forwards when unlocking. I've never found rain sensitive wipers to work properly on any car, so I always disable that feature. Also, ISTR that I once had a Passat where the wiper speed would sometimes change at random.
  3. Have you used a different key, with different 'personalisation' settings?
  4. I've had the same problem using postcodes to find customer sites, as they can often be half a mile or more from where you want to be. I always use the DMS co-ordinates. Before finding an app to convert from digital format, I made an excel spreadsheet to do it. Bit of a faff, but it worked. These days, if I'm going somewhere I haven't been before, I use google maps to locate the site, streetview to find the entrance to the car park, or whatever, then drop a pin in the map at that point. That then generates digital co-ordinates (first pic) and if you click on them, it gives another box with DMS co-ordinates.
  5. I had this problem a few weeks ago. I booked the car in for a service, only to be told that the leasing company wouldn't authorise it, as it wasn't due. Apparently, the garage that serviced it last time, didn't reset it properly - it should have been on variable. Anyway, the garage said the leasing company wouldn't let them reset it - I'm guessing there would be a charge - so told me to contact the leasing company, which I did. They sent me the instructions, which worked.
  6. Who balanced your wheels? I've had no end of trouble with the national chain that is specified by the leasing company. They don't seem to be able to balance anything.
  7. I don't know if it's possible, but I once had a Passat which only had 'D' and 'S' modes, no Eco. It would coast in 'D' mode, so I would drive in 'S'. I then discovered that coasting could be turned off in MFD. It might be worth a look.
  8. Curious to know why the ACC needs recalibrating. I'm considering a towbar for my next car.
  9. I can’t answer the question, but I guess it would depend on what you are towing - small trailer, or large caravan. Trying asking some independent towbar specialists.
  10. Not stupid at all. In fact, I asked the same question last year, when I was getting my new car. I can’t remember the exact answer, but if it was possible, it probably wasn’t simple, as I ended up inputting all my destinations manually. Most of my destinations use GPS coordinates.
