Not the fastest at charging (no inductive charger is due to the way the current tech works), but if you want to charge it quicker at least the usb c is in a handy spot anyway. Just shows how much of a ripoff the factory option really is!

As above, mine seemed to fix itself after a few decent journeys. Haven’t had a prompt for a couple of weeks.

Audi is only just moving to Automotive Linux though, but I suspect you could be right given Scala is supposed to be the first vehicle in the group to get the latest OS. Previously Audi were on QNX iirc. VW’s bespoke OS is being developed with Microsoft just to complicate things further, though I’m sure I read somewhere it was possibly going to be android based (which to be fair is based on Linux anyway). I could be wrong but I think Mercedes May still be shipping cars with QNX as well 🤔. The sooner we get a stable and reliable OS across different brands the better IMO, so great that most now seem to be partners in the Automotive Linux programs. Interesting about the battery - must try that. I was shocked at how small it was when I saw it and I do quite a lot of short trips! Now I think about it the Fiesta (based on Windows) ICE wasn’t happy when the battery was low.

Yup. I bought a short cable and this https://www.amazon.co.uk/dp/B07PN288W7/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_api_i_3WUjFb8GNRSHY just pop it on top of the exiting tray. Phone held with no sliding around despite the small looking grips. It’s hardly noticeable when the phone isn’t there either being black

Mine shows driving data. Only thing not working is the remote lock/unlock which the dealer was supposed to have enabled a week agohaving photocopied my driving licence.

Factory option afaik. Perhaps you could find someone to make you something up?

I just bought one off amazon and plugged it into the usb c. Heck of a lot cheaper than the Skoda factory option!!!

I did get the software update thing for the first few days but it seemed to sort itself out. The only issues I am having is it seems to take 2-3 minutes to load up my profile and sometimes the infotainment system freezes when moving between reverse parking sensors and the normal home. Only way to get it to work is to hold down the power button for 10 seconds and reboot it. Is this a Microsoft based system by any chance? Sat nav woman sounds familiar

Any usb-c adapter should work. I got 3 from amazon for £6 delivered

Fingers crossed 🤞

Having received my Scala (at last) I can report I also had severe juddering to start with. A combination of a deep clean of the windscreen and blades with concentrate screen wash (used neat) and use seems to have cured the problem.

Had the Fabia caught up with the rest of the group I may have considered it! Though to be honest, having lived with a brand new Fabia for a couple of weeks last year, I think I'd be much happier with the extra space in the Scala anyway. For me the Mk IV Fabia cannot arrive quick enough Cant comment on living with a Rapid vs a Scala, but the Scala certainly appears to be a lot more advanced with the former based on a rather ancient platform (even older than the Fabia's)

Does it make a difference with winter tyres? When you change the pressure you simply reset the system in the “car” settings menu. I’m sure plenty of people in the Czech Republic and elsewhere in Europe run winter tyres (and maybe even snow chains) at least part of the year without issue.

Indirect AFAIK. Coming from ford I’m quite glad as I’ve had issues with the in wheel sensors before. Only takes a tyre fitter to be a bit gung ho or getting a bit too acquainted with a kerb to cause a headache!

Had my scala a week. It arrived at the dealers just before lockdown however. Things ARE starting to move though.
