  1. I appreciate the thread/question is primarily about cables but thought I would share this anyway as wireless charging is mentioned. Hope some people find it useful https://www.amazon.co.uk/dp/B08S4517T1 You obviously can't close the compartment cover but I feed the lead out of the gap at the side of the console and sit the pad over the cup holder area. You can push it back far enough to transport of coffee cup if/when required If you don't want to plug the adapter into the front socket you can use the one at the rear of the console facing the back seats
  2. I take it from your comment that the middle one is place but any (remote) chance the stuck seat is not in the right position latterly. Not even sure if that is possible with the centre seat fitted but maybe worth pulling/pushing it to the outside of the car to ensure in the right location. Or maybe pull/push the seat back front/back Apart from that I got nuffing
  3. https://www.medesign.co.uk/MEDesign-Backfriend I have a couple of these and transferred them to every one of my last 4 cars Don't use the base though, just the back. You might find a 2nd hand back on eBay. My second one was bought from there

    The Mode button and toggling with the lever give different versions of Sport mode. See logiclee's posts above.

    Yadda yadda School day 😁 I wondered if it was just a terminology thing but I guess "Driving Mode" would have been used. Might still be an option for the device though. I just went by the ones I could see in the Amazon listing photo

    Just a thought I wonder if you could change it using one of those bi-directional OBD diagnostic/coding gizmos. For example. https://amzn.eu/d/2zYAo70 See one of the screens. Item 22. Transport Mode Although it would be an expensive way of avoiding pressing the button in the centre console twice each time you start the car. 🤔

    You can't as far as I know on MY22 or MY23 cars but I wish I knew how if it is possible. Probably/possibly changed due to emission laws.
  8. Good to hear FWIW, we choose to put the new tyres on my wife's car for a few reasons. Her journeys, albeit much less frequent than mine, are on the M3 and/or M25. Mine are more urban and shorter Another reason is my car is still on a PCP until July this year. I'll probably keep it but I'm not going to fit new tyres and then then potentially give it up after 3-4 months. Even so, I'd much rather she had better tyres to help ensure her safety when competing in Wacky Races on the motorway.
  9. I was biding my time to replace the OEM Bridgestones on my wife's MY23 Karoq but the time has now arrived. Was expecting to go with the Michelins but have opted for 4xPirelli Cinturato All Season SF3, Got 15% discount for buying 4 tyres, Paid £573 incl home fitting and old tyre disposal. My own MY22 will need replacements fairly soon too but in the meantime I have blagged her less worn Bridgestones. Got anotherfew mm of tread to play with for the time being :) Might be a price to pay in longevity over the Michelins based on reviews but the SF3s appear to be good tyres. Might take a wee while for me to see and judge any differences but will post an update when I can.
  10. I use Google Maps via Android Auto Not a fan of the native navigation. Plus, you don't get live traffic unless you pay the sub after the first year
  11. Nextbase recommends formatting the card every 2-3 weeks. That obviously wipes everything on it but assuming you have not had a prang (or want to report merde driving) and therefore don't need any files on the SD card that shouldn't be an issue
  12. If it isn't a fob issue, which it looks like it isn't, I am inclined to agree with pinkpanther
  13. Personally, I'd hold out until Carlsberg started making them 😁
  14. I use this wheel cleaner and am pleased with how it performs https://www.amazon.co.uk/gp/product/B07JK54KZ3
  15. My MY22 does the same as yours. i.e. the doors don't open if I just do the boot button
  16. Irrespective of Mode I'd expect the blue Eco light to show if you aren't "giving it laldy" as we Scots would say Light load on engine regardless of Mode = Eco
  17. You might need to browse this thread for the rear wiper blade. No guarantee that the blades will be a straight swap I have a MY22. My wife has a MY 23. My friend has a MY22. They both have the same but mine is different. Parts bin lucky did imo

    Thank you 👍 I now know I wasn't going mad 😁
  19. Viffer800 replied to Viffer800's topic in Skoda Karoq
    It is a 1.5 DSG I can't say I can feel a difference in the steering even though I'd expect there to be one I also know that it holds individual gears longer in Sport Mode. It does regardless of how I switched but I can't tell if the changes are different between them. It's specifically the throttle response I am confused about as to whether it is really different depending on which method I choose to I switch to (a) Sport Mode. I'd swear it's 'better' using the Mode button but I have no way of confirming/proving it
  20. Viffer800 replied to Viffer800's topic in Skoda Karoq
    I know the mapping is different but I can access (a) Sport Mode via the different methods set out in the original post. Are you confirming they are different?
  21. Viffer800 posted a topic in Skoda Karoq
    Possible weird (aka stoopid) question I may be imagining it but I really think my MY22 Karoq is noticeably more responsive if I select Sport using the Mode button in the console as opposed to selecting it with the gear lever. Is that an actual 'thing' or will I really be imagining it?
  22. My regular contacts have both. Some multiple email addresses Another thing to try 👍
  23. Checked my wife's entry but could only see the Type and nothing I could 'Classify'. Maybe more obvious than I found it However, I created a new entry for 'Wife' and added her number. Imported contacts in the car and only one number appeared when I used Voice Control to call her I'll keep fiddling but for now that helps
