I see, cheers for pointing this out.

From what I recall when I used to run a car on variable the max was 18k and the service warning would trigger before then. 25k sounds a lot tbh. However if they take on the car via an approved used scheme then I wouldn't have expected them to argue about the previous history given a warranty claim. After all, they have effectively underwritten the cars quality? Just as a matter of interest has the dsg box got service history?

tried the long hold on the voice control and it does indeed activate the google assistant, so thanks again to MarkyG82 for pointing this out. I also seemed to have improved the start up issue by enabling start android auto when it detects the cars blue tooth. Still have to sort the Whatsapp notifications though.

I had Smartlink enabled a couple of weeks ago for £145. My feedback so far is 1. I initially had general connectivity issues but after trying two cables (inc a VW one) found a genuine sony cable solved most of then (expect point 8 ) 2. Sometimes had sound through the phone rather than the car but was solved with the cable. 3. Had to change Google Assistant settings to get the voice to work properly. So much better than the Skoda one. 4. Multi function steering wheel works but the voice button still activates Skoda voice assistant. However I haven't tried a long hold, thanks MarkyG82. 5. I can send messages via WhatsApp but don't get a notification when a message is received. SMS messaging is fine and I can control via voice. 6. Spotify is great and so much better than the bluetooth connection. 7. Waze give better town driving information than the Skoda maps. 8. I still have an initial connectivity issue when first plugging into the car which I think is to do with Android Auto load time on the phone. Still working on resolving that one. So overall happy but still a few issues to iron out.

In addition to the fan speed profile you can change the aircon profile in the driving mode. Needs to be on Normal and not Eco for the best performance.
