Ottocast
Yeah, the AAWireless 2 has been in our Leon for a couple of weeks now and has been faultless. Whilst the Ottocast is tiny and appealing with no wires, you have to wonder what it's missing being about a tenth the size of the AAWireless unit.

I sent the Ottocast back. Random drop outs in calls and slow reconnections, often going back to the initial onscreen prompts. I'm not convinced that the Ottocast creates a WiFi connection to the phone like AAWireless does. I went with an AAWireless V2, seems much better.

Sound from games on phone playing through car speakers - Android Auto
Hi, my phone is connected to Android Auto> If I give my phone to my kid to play games then the sound plays over the car speakers. Does anyone know how to stop this happening?

Got mine today. Here's the Engish instructions in case, like me, you don't get them in the box https://manuals.plus/m/e88807f6e06c617162b4e732dcff26cf885bd9d2e3ca3397118bc838e1b845cd

Wireless AA in my MIB3 has been great. I have the Ottocast arriving on Monday/Tuesday from Amazon so will see how it performs in our Leon.

Does your car not have wireless AA built-in? I thought all IV's had the MIB3 unit. I might try the Otto mini out in our Leon. It has had the original AAWireless since its early crowd-funding days but it's starting to play up a bit. The issue with them is the cable the majority of the time so no cable would be great. Just not sure it will fit as I can't find a picture of the Otto's USB-A orientation, there's not much room above the USB socket in the Leon. They're on Amazon too https://www.amazon.co.uk/OTTOCAST-Upgraded-Wireless-CarPlay-Auto-Connect-Black/dp/B0FQN2VBT7/

Reverse camera - does a kit exist?
A main dealer told you that? They're talking rubbish. The main dealer I bought my '72 Superb Estate with a power tailgate offered to fit one but they were miles from me so got these to do it at home https://www.autologics.co.uk/Skoda-Retrofit-Specialist/Skoda-Reverse-Camera/%C5%A0koda-Superb-Estate-Reversing There's independent places in Yorkshire where you can take it to, such as https://eastyorkshireretrofits.co.uk/ https://www.yorkshirevwagretrofits.co.uk/ If you want to do it yourself you can get the kit here https://www.carcommunications.co.uk/genuine-skoda-superb-iii-3v0-reversing-rear-view-camera-kit

Dog guard/divider for estate with pan roof
Can anyone recommend a dog guard/divider for the Superb estate with pan roof. I see Travall and Guardsman come up a lot when searching but the Travall shows as not fitting with a pan roof. Any others to look at?

Interesting sound effects from the face level vents
Ah, I thought there was a different one with VCDS/ODBEleven that i hadn't tried

Interesting sound effects from the face level vents
Is that a different procedure than what is done by holding the AC + front vent button for a few seconds? I'm wondering if it will fix my noisy fans

Interior Fan Motor Noise ?
Mine went in the the dealers a couple of weeks back for this issue specifically. I dropped off at 9am, they looked at it at 2pm then called to say they couldn't hear anything. I picked it up later and could hear it clearly so they got an engineer to have a look, he seemed to think the noise was coming from the heater controls in the centre console, I'm not sure I agree on that one. They were meant to call back the next day to book it in again but they didn't 🤷♂️

Allseason tires for Superb facelift 2.0 tdi
I see Costco have started selling them now in 18's, no 19's yet unfortunately https://www.hotukdeals.com/deals/4-x-fitted-michelin-crossclimate-3-sport-22540-r18-92y-xl-tl-tyres-discount-at-checkout-fitted-price-4679067

Google Maps ETA and Distance remaining on Dashboard
No, the map on the dashboard is the Skoda map, it just overlays Google Maps wording, eg what turn to make next

Very odd, are you on the Android Auto beta programme? Maybe it's worth asking on the Google AA/Maps support pages to see if they can help

Wireless Android Auto in 2020 MK3 Superb
Odd, mine works currently with a Pixel 9 and worked with a Pixel 6 last year. Hopefully the dealer can sort it out

Wireless Android Auto in 2020 MK3 Superb
I have 332, wireless AA is fine with it. Have you not got a Primary User setup? I would start from scratch, delete all connections from your phone, eg Skoda BT/AAWireless, delete all BT connections from the car. Then pair your phone to the car via BT and see if you get the option to connect wirelessly to AA when going to the SmartLink screen. Make sure AAWireless is not plugged in! What phone do you have?

Wireless Android Auto in 2020 MK3 Superb
My '22 model has wireless AA, I didn't know it did when I bought it last year but after pairing my phone to the car via BT it popped up the option to wirelessly connect to AA. Now and then it does fail to connect to my phone and needs a reboot, maybe you could try that? Hold the power button down on the HU for about 10 seconds until it reboots with the skoda logo. Re AAWireless wired issues. I've had AAWireless since the original KickStarter release (my old car and partners car), wired issues are usually a bad cable.

Google Maps ETA and Distance remaining on Dashboard
@acjy1985 are you sure you didn't have Skoda navigation running too? Skoda nav does show ETA and distance at the bottom.

Google Maps ETA and Distance remaining on Dashboard
Ah, I think I misread your first post 🤣 Google Maps ETA and distance, no I've not seen that before, I just get this direction data from Google Maps.... What version of Android Auto are you using?
-
Google Maps ETA and Distance remaining on Dashboard
It should always do it on the virtual cockpit map as long as you are navigating somewhere using google maps. You can also change what is in the centre of your dials to show what your next turn should be including distance, eg mine below with the forward arrow. I have 3 presets set up so I can easily toggle what shows on the right, eg Preset 1 = Nav, Preset 2 = MPG, Preset 3 = Fuel range
