sorry if in wrong place but in the last few weeks I have noticed that my recent calls that are on my phone no longer show on the car phone display. No idea why help please if anyone can tell me why and how to get them back Graham

good luck with whatever Skoda you get, had company cars for 10 years and now decided to get my own very happy with the Octavia. Hope your wife enjoys the 1000SX which seems a great idea to keep up with the ZZR. Used to have the GTR before going for a K1300GT, now going lighter and on a R1200RS. Yorkshire Dales on your doorstep must make you a happy man.

odd I didn't see that on the post when I looked early and replied to ScoutCJB. It has now appeared thanks for the answer BigEjit

I have had problem with the dash cam and the rear camera disconnecting, I think it is the lead that is faulty as have a new lead that I tested the cameras with and both then worked. So felt ok then started to worry that the mesh was for some electrical purpose and it was interfering with the dash cam. That is why I asked the question. Thank you ScoutCJB for replying still interested to know what the mesh is for if anything. Graham

Hi folks Please can you tell me what is the black mesh type film on the windscreen around the shaft of the rear view mirror. The guy who fitted my dash cam has placed the fitting on this mesh and I am having some issues and wonder if the mesh might be a reason could be the cable through. Thanks Graham

Thank you all, I used the high beam assist last night and it was brilliant dipped when there were cars coming towards and also when there were cars ahead going the same way then went back on full beam. no idea how it is that clever but it did it, getting too close to driverless cars which I hope will only start to come in commercially after I have gone!!! I laid off the brakes going down the 30 mph hill today and just taped them when needed and it stayed in D4 which was fine!. What a great forum where people are so willing to help a dumb old baldy! Graham

Hi Lee again thank you for taking the time No I was just in normal driving mode and not in cruise control I have not used it yet. Also not tried eco or sport modes yet want to try the car for about 1500 to 2000 miles in normal first but no clever reason for that!!! Automate highbeam assist bloody hell thats clever how does it know when to go full beam? I will give it a try thank you and how did you know I cannot read a manual (old man syndrome) Graham

it has always amazed me that tyre pressures on cars are so poor and dont give you the specific tyre pressures fort each tyre. my bikes have specific pressures on both tyres and are really accurate. why cannot an audi or skoda duo the same?

Thanks Lee for your reply and advise I know I have to use the brakes when going down hill at the 30 mph so that is possible but it sound like the engine is just right in 4th but the bugger just whacks it into 3. when i was doing 60 downhill there was no braking. I think I need to take it to the dealer and get them to look at it. they can also check why the full beam does not always come on when the stick is moved and why it turned itself off once. A trp to Workington is coming on Graham

Hi I wonder if what is happening with my car is normal. When we go downhill the gearing goes down to "3" going down a hill at 30 and the revs going into overdrive and up till about 3,000 rev. When I was going down another hill at 60 it did the same and was over 3000 rev. never had it happen with any of my other automatic cars. if a manual people would think I was raving the nuts off the car, embarrassing!

Thats what he said! don't know if true but from comments on this thread seems to be about right. would like it to work is my only thought.

been to the dealer and a helpful employee suggested that connect does not work well with iPhone and is only good with android phones, no idea if correct but he showed me connect on his phone working well!!!! do i go out and buy a cheap android phone?

i found cheaper ones but thought £6.99 with no p & p ok. very surprised how quick it came

I will apologise before I write this but ordered yesterday on Amazon and got it today through Amazon Prime. colour is better than the photo a brighter red. bought from Muchkey. I have a cunning plan I will order you one you can then make the short journey up and explain all the gadgets and codes and smart link and connect and tow bars and thingies and I can give you the key cover. The benefit is that your order will most likely turn up on the day. Graham

but look Sasha look
