Yep Bike rack slides down if boot access needed. But it’s only on the once or twice a year trips that I need to get into the boot when having the Bikes on the back.

In my view it depends how often it will be used. I certainly wouldn’t want to faff about removing seats or bits of the bike other than for occasional use. I routinely have my bike on the car three times a week which is why I specified the (admittedly fairly expensive) tow bar on my 2019 1.5 Tsi Karoq. No regrets here….

Love the ‘about 289681.92km’….

Trevor - if you know you want to tow a caravan and are buying new why not just get a tow bar fitted at the factory? Job done.

The tow bar prep consists of adding suitable wiring and an ‘upgraded’ radiator grille and fan to improve cooling. The max tow weight is the same for any given model, though Skoda would no doubt say you shouldn’t tow without having the appropriate prep. I had a factory fitted tow bar and it works brilliantly, though I only use it for a bike rack.

Agree that it’s annoying the Sat Nav system isn’t easy. But like most folk I just use Google (Apple also available) and ignore VAGs pathetic offering, Though i do religiously update Skoda maps for some reason. Can’t stand wasting time watching a video when I can read how to do something in 30 seconds. Showing my age, I guess. Extraordinary no manual is available for download in a readable format.

Just use Google maps, Waze or Apple. No need to pay.

Sadly I don’t believe there is. I too would have loved a quick easy date check on say the Nav screen. Rather an obvious oversight I’d say but perhaps the efficient Germans always know what date it is and don’t need to check.

Did you unzip the new folder before loading to the SD card?

That’ll be the importers problem (Skoda Uk) not yours.
