  1. One of the two horn tones stopped and my local dealer diagnosed a broken wire. They reattached the wire which restored the second tone and also said they had rewired the other tone too. There was no further information regarding the fix such as whether the repair was a proper Skoda part. I haven't yet got a copy of the invoice so can't check. I have had a look but cannot see exactly where the horns, or their wiring are. Unfortunately, the tone stopped working again shortly afterwards. (I only found out when wanting to warn a truck and trailer about to cut in front of me on the M25!!) I have the Skoda servicing, warranty, AA deal so wasn't charged the £135 they would have wanted fortunately. But now waiting to rebook the car. My nearest dealer is in Oswestry so it's a bit of a faff. Have any other owners experienced this or a similar problem?
  2. My car was in the dealer this week for warranty work - turned out an electrical connection to one tone of my horn had fractured. They checked and told me I have the latest firmware so I wonder if MY22 versus my MY21 vehicle makes the difference? I agree about double checking, but I sure like starting from a rear view.
  3. It all seems to depend on whether you have "Rear View" - the simple one like @Rgsmg53 and @Rory have or "Area View" with the wide angle setting. My MY21 doesn't have Area View but the standard Rear View is brilliant!
  4. I Just Checked in online for a warranty job as one of the two horn tones has failed and noticed the following item added to the work to be done: WARRANTY RECALL 57NL S-Software configuration of BCM control unit Does anyone know what this is for?
  5. Thanks @NottsIan, I hadn't realised.
  6. My 1.5 TSI ACT DSG reads no consumption in coasting mode. With light throttle control it uses ACT a lot of the time too. I really like it.
  7. I thought that Android Auto connected to the car with bluetooth
  8. Thanks @sussamb. I managed to track down the fuse layout and, yes, only one 15A fuse. I spoke to the Skoda dealer who confirmed it's likely covered by warranty, but the nearest one is 56 miles away in Oswestry! I was really pleased with the two-tone horn, so it's a real shame the new Karoqs have a sigle tone one.
  9. Help! I went to encourage a sheep to move off the road over last weekend and instrad of the rather good two-tone horn, I'd lost the lower of the two tone and now it sounds strangled. I don't know where/what to check. Are ther seperate fuses for the two horns? Is there a weird setting I haven't found? I have the servicing package with warranty and AA. Will the warranty cover horn failure? Any ideas?
  10. Funny thing is the comparison would mean that my speedo would be almost 100% accurate as they are designed to overstate speed. (225/40R19 versus 245/45R19)
  11. I've just checked my MY21 1.5tsi Edition and wow, no more getting wet as there is an umbrella under the front passenger seat!!! I've had the car as an ex demonstrator since June 21 and only just found this out just as I twigged there is a 2-stage unlock so the second pull on the handle opens the rest of the doors. Duh.
  12. I recommend WAze, and stop using the inbuilt satnav. It would appear @Busman104 that you are now having to pay for updates but put up with a less than optimal satnav performance.
  13. Agreed, I've had several different cars which all exhibited some droning even on good road surfaces when they started to wear. @fabill Have you checked the tread depths? Especially at the rear.
  14. Thanks @NottsIan I have noticed the software version has changed to 0330 from 0324 and the Radio database has changed to 1.31.44 from 1.30.36. I'm one of the lucky AA wireless connection people who (fingers crossed) has been able to connect without problems - bar a few glitches from time to time. (Using a Google Pixel 6). I do hope that this does fix the AA connection problem for more people as the wired option was a pain.
  15. Finished download and install this morning (Fri 15th) - 3.8Gb. I can't see any difference but without knowing what it was supposed to do, it's really difficult to tell. Wonder if their motto should be "Simply opaque"?
  16. Hi, My Karoq is currently downloading M013_EU_SKMQB_P33000P. Can anyone tell me what is in this update please?
  17. I have all Notification sliders in the On in AA, Messages, Waze, WhatsApp
  18. I have checked the Android Auto Do Not Disturb settings and that is not allowed and says "Must stay turned on....". Turning all AA Notifications off, it still says the same, and the same after a reboot.
  19. Another Android Auto update again today to V11.2.640434-release. So now V11.2. After 2 Android Auto updates the problem is still there but..... I hadn't realised that the symbol is the Android "Do Not Disturb" one!! And this describes the problems I have experienced – no notifications received despite Waze, Android Auto, Messages, WhatsApp having all notifications enabled. I feel this could point to a 'corruption' to my phone's settings which sometimes happen when Android itself is updated. I loaded the Android 14, Jan24 update on 13th January and soon after that I noticed the problem. (I don't use my car/Waze/Android Auto every day.) I have since installed the February Android update and have not noticed any changes as a result. Does this sound a reasonable conclusion? How can I now ‘trick’ Android Auto into switching off ‘Do Not Disturb’?
  20. Ah well, another updated Android Auto version today - 11.1.640264-release. I wonder if that will help? Note to self - do not hold your breath!
  21. Thanks @Viffer800 I'll give it a try. May take a bit more time to do.
  22. @Viffer800 Tried that just AA, and then AA plus Waze, and that didn't make a difference. Even asked on AA / Google support and not a sausage!😠
  23. Yes, good idea. @Viffer. Surely someone else must have experienced the same problem as I have??
  24. Thanks @Viffer800. I see how that works but my need is somone to sent me a text or WhatsApp when I'm using the car and cinnected up. Yesterday I went on a 200 mile round trip and when someone called my mobile number, it did not ring in the car, or the phone. Similarly a text I was sent wasn't notified. The text was available if I went in to the 'Messages' app on the car screen, and voice reply worked but the message would not 'clear' as it used to. That odd new symbol was showing wit the new software version and hence not notification 'blobs' were displayed on the car screen.
