  1. Ohhh I am in Manchester for work Sunday-Friday each week- Better for trying to find someone to be down there.
  2. Ok soooo.... I’m using my iPhone to view the site, and I’m struggling to make the link from the map to the people nearest to me in Manchester.... any advice gratefully received. I am hoping to activate voice control, the cornering fog lights, needle staging, and auto wipers on my 2017 Fabia Estate se-l, I’m loath to pay the dealership price for the voice activation given the frank rip off on the sat-nav, I was given to understand they’d be fitting the correct head unit with sat-nav, instead I got a bodged slightly out of focus garmin adaptation!!!
  3. Quick question- in work and I’ve just noticed something. My Aukey dual camera is switching off and on- I think related to the stop-start, it switches off but doesn’t always switch back on... anyone have a thought about that? I’m guessing I’m piggybacked into the wrong fuse?
  4. Just a *bump* and a question i can’t get most of the apps to let me log on, I get told I’m already a user and my passwords are wrong but despite trying resets and resend me my password they still won’t log on MyŠKODA was awfully slow but I’m there in the end but DriverConnect, OneApp, Skoda Drive & Skoda Connect don’t seem to want to work, I’d thought there was a fuel use and economy app (like fuelly, that I currently use but has got ‘buggy’) that Skoda made but I just can’t seem to find it, or to join what I have used. My dealers don’t have a clue- anyone know a iOS techy Skoda dealer who secretly wanted a job as an Apple Genius and will guide me through this? I cant believe the dealerships don’t understand their own product systems!
  5. Trying to fit the dash cam to my Fabia 3 everything's a doddle till I've got to the fuse box... I've got BAT & AAC plug ins to - Er- plug in... so I can use the heated seats or the wing mirrors for the AAC but... what can I use for the BAT? Thanks! I was going to have this fitted by an auto electricans- but have been shamed into fitting it myself by the regulars in the pub!
  6. Thank-you both guys- Scuffer, that's a bit more than I'd like to pay... budget requirements being what they are! LoLz! Pullock, yes please, love to see some pictures- though I fully plan on sending the car to the auto electricians to get the job done (I can't bear the squeaky horn- got a nice Italian style two-tone job to go in as well!)
  7. Hello- I've had a scout round and I can't see a thread that answers my question... which comes in sections, I'll try to give as much info as I can... 1. The rear view mirror housing, what's IN it? When I look at the housing from the exterior there's a circle cut out with a disc of thin plastic in it, what is this for? I was wondering if this is where Škoda mount a front facing camera... 2. The camera questions- i). Having had an accident where someone 'didn't see me' and pulled out into my front passenger door on my old car- I'm wanting to add a permanent front discrete dash cam, and am thinking about one that mounts up by the rear view mirror, taking the wires around the windscreen and hardwiring behind the dash somewhere. (A professional auto electrician is doing it!) I've got the two choices attached below- one I suspect won't go around the fairly chunky plastic of the mirror housing and the other looks like it would work (if only I could remove part of the ceramic paint sun screening on the windscreen there!)- has anyone used a camera like either of these? What did you do location wise? ii). As to rear view reversing camera- I'm looking at one that will replace the trunk handle- these seem identical on my Fabia 3 estate and my Fathers Octavia estate, but if anyone has advice on this I'd be grateful for it! Pic below 3. In other, unconnected new-owner queries- Why can't I get Appleplay and speech stuff working? It's meant to be on the car, I remember the salesman telling me about it. Why does the sat-nav look slightly out of focus (it's the non factory 'press media button and hold' kenwood system- and I wish it was 'press the radio button and hold' as I never use the radio but do use media!) thankyou for reading that- I'd love some advice! Ta!
