Thanks @Tell and @batemansxxxb Looks like I have the Amundsen system then. Yes, it says it on the sd card now I look at it! Doh! Putting VIN into Skoda update portal says no maps available. Will the map files downloaded from the link in this thread work (HIGH12_P189_EU_202045)?

Lots of talk on here of buying a 32Gb SD card for updating maps. The Skoda instructions say that you must use the original Skoda SD card as it has a "security chip" in it. That sounds like b#llocks to me but just checking: you can use any class 10 SD card?

Thanks @paulski

Thanks @mrgf Makes sense. It is a 2016 SE L TDi. It is the wife's car so I haven't bothered to see what equipment/toys it has. (In fact I washed my hands of the whole purchase after I found her several cars that fitted her criteria: not black or white, no leather, must have heated seats and max price £10k. She rejected those and bought this one which is black, has leather, no heated seats and cost £11k!!).

Thanks @Ads230. Quick reply, full information, links! I feel bad now because I couldn't be bothered to search! Cheers.

Just curious really. We have a sloping driveway so when I use the car I just let it run back down the drive in neutral, engage first gear at the bottom and drive away. I am puzzled by the handbrake: when I release it I expect the car to roll (you would wouldn't you?!) but there is a second or so before the brakes actually release. What is that about? Is the handbrake lever just an electric switch rather than the usual mechanical thing?
