VRS Estate in Meteor Grey
Hi all, I'm on the lookout for a used 2.0 petrol VRS Estate in Meteor Grey. They seemed to be very rare which led me to read up some posts on here and I'm a bit confused now so got a couple of questions! Was Meteor Grey discontinued recently on the Mk IV? I tried to answer the above myself by checking the Skoda website but I can't seems to spec a VRS at the moment, only the new Sportline, is it no longer available?

Buying a used Enyaq, what options to look for?
Hey, I'm considering a used Enyaq, probably a 2021 model. I'd be going for the 80 model for the extra range for Euro road trips. I'm a bit confused on the fast charging, was 100+ kW charging an optional extra back then, I believe it's standard now. Is it worth getting one with a heat pump? Any other options to look for?

When/How did the Superb get wireless Android Auto?
I guess I will have to keep my AAWireless adapter for a bit! The Skoda website itself just show wireless CarPlay. I wonder if they just don't advertise that it has wireless AA due to them not being able to guarantee compatibility with all Android phones https://www.skoda-auto.com/models/layers/layers/superb-iv-connectivity

When/How did the Superb get wireless Android Auto?
Hi all, I'm currently looking for a use Superb iV (~20/21) and was wondering if it would have wireless Android Auto enabled. Most of the adverts say only wireless CarPlay. Does anyone know if it can be enabled with a software update and when it was available as standard?

Considering buying 2021 Skoda Octavia Combi PHEV
I'm about to make the jump from an Octavia Estate to Superb Estate and am considering the PHEV for similar reasons, short trips during the week but also would be for holidays in mainland Europe. What's the 1.4 engine like in the Superb? My partner has the 1.4 in a 2017 Leon so presumably same/similar but that's ~500kg lighter than the Superb!

Android Auto
I don't think a 2015 Octavia would have wireless AA built-in. You would need to get an AA wireless adapter. https://www.aawireless.io/

Amundsen MIB2 Firmware Update
Search for a local specialist, you should be able to do it for <£100. It won't affect your vcds changes

Wireless Android Auto experience/recommendation?
I've used AAWireless since its initial release, works perfectly. I tried the Motorola one and it didn't work for me, the setup is a nightmare!

Amundsen MIB2 Firmware Update
Re the above. I will try to downgrade back to the old version if possible. Does anyone have a copy of MHI2_ER_SKG11_K3330 please, mibsolution.one only seems to have the latest versions

Amundsen MIB2 Firmware Update
I've just done an update on my unit which has previously had component protection removed. The update seems to have re-enabled component protection, has anyone had that issue before?

'Component protection enabled' after Columbus MIB2 firmware update
Hi all, I've just updated my MIB2 Columbus from MHI2_ER_SKG11_K3330 to MHI2_ER_SKG11_K3343. The installation completed okay and shows the new version installed but it seems to have enabled component protection. Now the unit has had component protection disabled and SmartLink (AA) enabled before, my car is a 2014 Octavia so originally had a MIB1 in it. Would a firmware update have reset those?

MIB2 software update & Canton
Hi all, just updated mine following the instructions above and I get a 'component protection enabled' error after installation. Has anyone any idea how to resolve that? The current value of 'confirmation installation changed' shows 0000

Gemini wheel refurb (Leeds) - and what colour?
I went for The Wheel Specialist in the end in Garforth, other side of Leeds to me but they had great reviews. The online quote was £380 with 10% off if you booked within 3 days so was about £340. They did a great job, one of the vrs alloys was badly pitted but came up well. 24hr job, drop off at 4pm, pick up next day at 4pm! I went for Charcoal/Anthracite, lost the diamond cut but looks great 👍

Travel mug
Looks good but with the diameter at 7cm it may be a squeeze I ended up with this one, it goes about 3/4 in the centre cup holder https://smile.amazon.co.uk/gp/product/B09PL6T4FF

Replacement heater vent clips
In case any comes across this thread in the future, I bought the eBay item, fits perfectly! It just clips in, no need to remove anything, 10 second job

Travel mug
Does anyone have any new recommendations for a good travel mug that goes in the ~7cm centre cup holders? I have a 'Contigo Byron Snapseal' but that's too big. Costco have 2 'Contigo Autoseal' on offer at the moment but the dimensions state 7.6cm which is probably the widest point in the middle, they may just fit as they're narrower at the bottom. This one looks good, and at 6.4cm should fit ok in the centre https://smile.amazon.co.uk/dp/B0735JT5DR?th=1

Gemini wheel refurb (Leeds) - and what colour?
Hi all, my Gemini's are in dire need a refurb. The tyre fitted yesterday said 1 was so badly pitted it may be beyond repair 😞 Will try anyway! There's so many refurb companies in Leeds, is there any that anyone can recommend please? Also, still undecided on colour 🤔 It's for a white estate so was thinking maybe satin black or gunmetal grey

Replacement heater vent clips
Hey, managed to snap off one of my centre heater vents clips yesterday whilst hoovering dust around them 😒 I've found that you can get replacements on AliExpress, has anyone ever got one of these? https://www.aliexpress.com/item/1005004452086101.html Same one on eBay too https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/125302117740

Wireless Android Auto Dongle working with video
It depends on what phone you have. It doesn't work well with Huawei phones. I've just got a Pixel 6 Pro and it works perfectly now.
