Looks interesting. Is that boot liner for the standard boot floor (which I have) or the optional boot floor (variable height)?

V2G / V2L / V2X for VW MEB platform (including Enaq)
Still waiting to see what exactly VW / Skoda will offer in terms of Vehicle to Load / Grid in 2022. There are even comments that 2021 cars like mine could be upgraded. But there is no news I have found about whether this will be Vehicle to Grid only (need expensive and complex home installation to allow that) or whether it will be like Hyundai and KIA and offer simpler Vehicle to Load (simply plug in adaptor and power stuff like camping, power tools, kettles, fridges etc etc). Great in a power cut or holiday. https://v2g.co.uk/2021/04/volkswagens-v2g-vision/

Electric car grant reduced, cap now £35,000
Just glad I got my iV60 with the government grant while I could, as there are no Enyaqs on the list now. Get wall boxes installed before that grant goes as well (one day or another).

My Skoda stopped working
Seems to happen more often at weekends. You kind of have to assume that the support team might be low on numbers and unable to reset things when they occure out of hours...

My Skoda stopped working
Same issue here. Was frustrating as when I tried to re-register the car it said the service was not available. Then it just appeared back again.

Two things I would love to deactivate but cannot. FIrst, as you say is Lane Assist. Works great on the motorway, but on narrow B-roads, it 'bounces' from left to right in the narrow lane. You need at least 3 button presses to turn it off on every journey. Other is the anti-hijack central locking that locks as soon as you drive off. As I don't live in South Africa or Mexico, I don't need it and this is the first car on which I cannot turn it off! Still love the Enyaq though.

Useful part numbers/accessories.
I see, thanks. I orderd the fast charging from the factory, just because I felt it would be difficult to sell the car second hand without it. In fact, I have never used it over the 3 months. The fact you can have the dealer install it much mean they fit the wiring to all cars anyway. So far, everywhere I have been has been an overnight charge on AC.

Auto regen in B-mode
Well after much fiddling and reading up, it appears you really can only use 'A' auto regen in B-mode when the acc cruise control is active. What is confusing is that when you suspend the acc, the 'AB' symbol stays on the display for a while.

UK Included tools and emergency equipment
Yup, my 60 came with the same. It has the standard wheels, not the bigger ones. UK cars dont get warning triangle or first aid kit as they are not required by UK law. By the way, the warning triangle I bought fits into a special place which is very tidy. On the right hand side of the boot, there is a little square hole in the boot lining above the wheel arch. There is also a hook. On European cars, this is where the warning triangle fits.

Please do share details of a horn which does not sound like a toy. My last Audi A6 had a real beauty of a two tone horn.

Helpful, thanks. What is this item; Higher rate charging part number for the Enyaq (not sure if Skoda uk is set up for it yet). 5LA 054 831 | for ENYAQ iV60

Auto regen in B-mode
Wondering if anyone has worked out how to do this. When I select D mode, I am able to toggle between regen levels using the paddles on the steering wheel (I have the heated steering wheel which also has paddles). These regen levels are 1,2,3 and A (for auto regen) 'A' is useful as it automatically adjusts to speed limited etc. When this is used, a little blue A appears next to the D on the display. Yesterday, just by chance after using cruise control, I noticed a little A had now appeared next to the B when using the B driving mode. Even when i cancelled the cruise control, it still showed the A on the display and worked great. But I have since not managed to find out how to select 'A' auto regen when driving in B mode. The manuals says check the on-line manual. The on-line manual just says this:

Reversing camera
Glad it is not just me. In the dark, it is hardly visible. I did not go for the lighting upgrade. Perhaps have to fit a 1970's style reversing light add on!

Dash Cam
That video link is good. I had already done my install before watching it and also used fuse 36 (rear wiper) and the Nextbase fuse jumper kit. I used a much nearer and neater grounding screw on the left side of the fuse box in this photo. Due to the airbag question he mentions, I had already routed by cable up the other side of the pillar next to the windscreen. You can just see it on the dash at the bottom of the pillar. Might move it later, but notice that doing his install in the video did mash up the roof liner a bit.... and the car is only days old....

Fuse box access
Quite right, in fact there is no need to follow the complicated instructions in the manual. Managed to wire in the dashcam using a jumper for fuse 36 (rear wiper) and the ground connected to a metal part of the fuse box bracket. Nice and easy.
-
Fuse box access
Has anyone accessed the fusebox on the UK (RHD) Enyaq? I wish to do so, in order to hardwire in a dashcam power supply. But on the RHD model the fusebox is behind the glove box and manual tells you to loosen the glovebox smooth motion lever. But when pulling on it, it feels it will snap off before 'loosening'. Don't want to break an item on a car a few days old!

Unfortunatly, it is anti-jacking type feature I am trying to turn off. The doors lock as you pull away and need to be unlocked with the button before others can enter the car (such as when collecting kids, or when dropping off shopping to relatives). Rather annoying feature which is unnecessary in the UK.

Cos I don't live in South Africa or Mexico, car jacking is not really a worry for me, so the function is pretty pointless.

Found the setting for unlocking all doors, but still not the one about the auto locking when driving. By the way, worth pointing out: UK spec right hand drive cars do NOT get the 240V charging in the rear central console it seems, neither do they get the sort of coin store under the headlight controls and their glove box is half size because of the fuse box on the left side.

Picked up Enyaq 60kw Ecosuite today, ordered at the end of June 2021. Artic Silver with Brown Leather interior (only options were colour, 100kw charging, heated steering wheel and rear camera). After the 40 miles drive home, very happy so far. Interiour quality is up there with the latest generation Audi A6 Avant I just switched from (except perhaps the door fittings). Infotainment does not seem to be as laggy as some people report on eariler cars (perhaps since a software update). It came with floor mats (so I need not have ordered my own). Questions, if anyone can help me: - How to switch off the auto door locking when the car is moving? - How to change the central locking setting so that one press of the remote unlocks all doors? I cannot find either of these in the settings menus on the car

Good news update for me! I got news that my car was finished today. So that was exactly 3 months wait for the build and so probably 4 months for actual delivery.

Well, my dealer is rather poor at keeping me updated, so I have to ask them. To be honest, they were not desperate to sell the Enyaq (assume that because it is getting lots of reviews and is on back order, they feel it sells itself!). Ordered my iV60 (main option 100kW charge, heated steering wheel and reversing camera) on June 28th just before the July price increase. Was originally told a build-week of week 36. When that passed, I asked the dealer to confirm and they said the following, so who knows!?! "At the moment your Enyaq is not showing a chassis number so the build is yet to be completed, this is due to the chip shortage. It normally takes around 4 weeks from when the build is completed. I will hopefully have better news for you soon"

AC charging
Has anyone actually charged their own iV 60 at 11kW from a 3-phase AC supply? As people say here, most places, say that the Enyaq can charge on 3-phase at up to 11kW, because of the rating of its onboard AC/DC converter. It cannot charge at the theoretical supply maximum of 22kW. Before I go spending on a 3-phase cable to get the full 11kW public AC charge points, I just wanted to check, because as some people have commented, it is not clear from Skoda if the 11kW is only the iV 80 or 60 as well https://www.evchargingcablestore.com/find-my-ev-charger/vw-charger-cables-plugs/vw-id3-charging-cables/vw-3-phase-charging-cable-type2-to-type2

Was that for iV60 or iV80 model and did you choose a lot of options?

iV 60 ordered at the end of June and got the following news from the dealer: The system is currently showing a build week of 36. This means it will be built week commencing the 6th September then will take around 4 weeks to arrive at the dealership. Now just need to get my home charging wall box sorted. Rather annoying that most installers insist on an isolation switch being added by the electricity supplier into the meter box. According to an electrician friend, this is just to make the installation quicker and lower cost for the wall box installers. My consumer unit is right up to date and includes the isolation switches there, but often the wall box installers want to avoid touching customers consumer units. Having the isolation switch in the meter box means that anyone can just walk up and turn off your supply without a key to your home..... When people are away on holiday (remember those!), they tend to rely on RING door bells, Wifi and home alarms. Not great if the power is turned off all week....
