Anyone...?

With apologies to @East_Yorkshire_Retrofits , my dealer has at long last sourced the retractable towbar parts and I have a fitting date booked. I'll report back on the success or otherwise mid-October. I may start a new thread recounting the whole story, as it may help others, and the car is an eTec, not a PHEV, which was the OP's point in the first place.

Ah. Okay, I've seen the phone can brought into to right hand dial. I'll have to have a play now - thank you!

Yes, that's sensible. Let me rephrase, how do you reject a call when the screen is full of reversing camera so you can focus on reversing?

Resurrecting this. How do you answer a call when the entire screen is displaying the reversing camera?

Back on topic, my current, early view of my 2025 Sportline Estate 1.5 TSI e-TEC Mk IV is: No windscreen washer fluid low/empty warning. You only get this with a certain headlamp configuration, apparently. I know all motorists are required to check fluids, tyres, oil, etc. before each drive, but this seems like an expensive and bothersome feature to remove and a complete guessing game as to whether the tank is half full, nearly empty or empty. Madness! The braking issues as noted above. Scary! Inability to retrofit a towbar, even if one has purchased Tow Bar Preparation. The Sale of Goods Act is coming into play on this one! Having to stare at a screen in the middle of the dashboard to find the answer or reject a phone call button (if it chooses to display it at all). Whatever happened to the handy buttons on the steering wheel? How is this any different to touching a phone screen mounted on your dash (which it is illegal to do in the UK I believe?!). Madness! Air vents that, when you turn to the left, actually seem to shut themselves! WTF? Stop-Start weirdness. Get used to it, I guess. Random Infotainment behaviours. Sometimes it will remember the radio station and volume last used, and sometimes not. I can always press a few buttons before I set off. Lane assist does not really assist until it's too late. Older 2017 vRS would help steer me back on course; this car only does that when I've crossed the line, and I don't really notice any vibration prior to my straying out of lane. I'll need to experience this more of course, as I'm not inclined to nip out and deliberately stray in order to test that theory The range gauge has a red bar under the petrol pump symbol. Instantly recognisable as a warning that you are about to run out of fuel. Why put it there? No tear drop wipe when activating the windscreen washers. My 2017 Peugeot Boxer van has this feature! Although with the wipers in Auto mode, it does work sometimes, purely as it thinks it's raining so a sort of "fix". Good things: I like the looks (I have Sportline, Estate) It is comfortable to drive and a nice place to spend time in There are a lot of silly things that should just be there or work properly at this price point for a brand that has successfully hauled itself out of the skip. Overall, I'm disappointed in the car and in the after-sales service and want my simpler diesel Octy vRS back, or even my very old Superb Elegance 😢

I have this exact behaviour with my brand new 2025 Mk IV Sportline Estate 1.5 TSI e-TEC CW15 (01/04/24 to 25/08/24 (CW14/2024 - CW34/2024)). Dealer I bought from, Skoda and VWFS said to take it back for investigations, but so far my dealer has not been able to provide a suitable date and wants to charge me £32 for a loan car (fine but a common courtesy with this type of issue on a brand new car, they could waive it...?). I'm going to look at other Skoda dealers and see what they can do...

Price update:Boot rail expandable aluminium divider (4F9860204) has some paint on it but perfectly serviceable x 1 - £15.00 Boot rail tie-down hooks (4F9863539) in good used order x 4 - £15.00 Internal pollen filter for Elegance, new sealed x 1 - £5.00 or £25 the lot

I have to report that as yet, the dealer has not come back with anything helpful, in fact, they are being rather dismissive about most things to do with my new octy form telling me the steps to use for a setting when I've laready explained it does not work as I've tried those steps or the setting is not there to now saying they don't have trained technicians on-site to fit a tow bar despite Skoda Customer Services saying the delaer would sort it for me! The frustration continues, and I'm increasingly considering turning to a certain third-party...

Anyone...?

Anyone...?

Very helpful and generous to go to these efforts @East_Yorkshire_Retrofits I don't believe the dealer network is as clued up! I have you in mind as you suggested via PM (thanks again) but today I had a call from Skoda who had been doing some investigations too, had spoken to my dealer, and had agreed that they would work together to source a Skoda OEM retractable system and let me know lead times, if it will work, and costs. I'll share what transpires in the hope that it adds to the already useful info given above and helps others, and of course will be in touch... Thanks again.

Found it! In the main settings screen at the bottom of the list "Mobile Phone reminder sound". I turned it off and did not get the nice chap telling me not to forget my phone in the charging tray. I am Andriod, fully set-up with My Skoda, Wifi connected and primary user. On the Mrs user profile, the setting is on too so... I think I'll delete her (from the car you understand) and try again.

Same here, grateful for a fix if available, please.

Yeah, that's what I thought but I can't find it 🤪

Just to reiterate, this is an audible prompt, a chap says "don't forget to take your phone" or something similar. There are visual messages, and these come up for Android and iPhone.

Indeed it does, but not with the iPhone. Will complete the My Skoda set up tomorrow and go from there as that seems to be the only difference (apart from not primary and not android of course).

Hi, Brand new Sportline MkIV, a voice tells me not to forget my phone in the charging tray. I'm primary user and Andriod and have fully functional My Skoda app. Mrs is also a user and working Apple Play, but the car does not tell her about the phone. I've searched the digital manual and on here but can't find anything, possibly not using the right terms. Anyone know how this works, how it can be switched on, if its an Android only thing or need My Skoda working (Mrs My Skoda app not yet "connected to the car"). Thanks!

Hi All, Has anyone fitted an aftermarket towbar system and actually made it work 100%, or is it still a complete no-go due to coding issues (UN-ECE cybersecurity locking out coding or something)? I'm being told that even with Tow Bar Preparation (which my new car has at extra cost), it can be fitted and wired up, but cannot be coded, so I will end up with loads of errors, parking sensor issues, emergency brakes applied in reverse, etc. Thanks.

Happy to do a deal on all of them, say £60.00 OVNO

Does anyone want to make me an offer? They are going to waste sitting in my shed...

Thanks 😉 £25.00 collected More details here: https://www.briskoda.net/forums/topic/532805-skoda-superb-elegance-boot-accessories-boot-rail-hooks-divider-flexible-strap-and-pollen-filter/

Skoda Superb Estate boot divider. Fits into the sliding rails and is extendable in length. It has some white paint on it, so a bit untidy. However, it functions perfectly well. Collection from EN5 3EA or I can deliver locally. Cash on collection or PayPal (buyer pays fees).

1) once you have the car set-up for "your" key, don't you have to hold down the unlock button whilst out of the ignition barrel until a couple of blips/flashes to set things to the key? Repeat with the other users key... 2) not all of them do, I "think" this needs a specific type of mirror and maybe the folding type 3) interesting that stuff still remains that have been "deleted", perhaps these are key specific (kinda makes sense). I would think the answer may lie in 1) i.e. locking the individual drivers profiles to their key... This of course is based on my experience of me setting up my 2nd hand MK3 where I did the same, others with way more knowledge will no doubt be along to correct/advise as necessary...
