I had a similar issue with an Audi A6 a few years back, it would show roundabouts in the display the wrong way round, and randomly state distances in KM rather than miles. Took it to Audi who suggested a map update as the tune of a few hundred pounds, I promptly refused and asked they check for a system update. They reluctantly did this, and surprise surprise it fixed it! If I were you, make sure you've got a picture or video (like you have) and then ask Skoda to check and update.... I don't have my Skoda yet, it's still being built, but once it's here I can check I've gone for the digital dash too!

I most certainly will...

Thanks everyone for the comments. We’ve opted to forgo the parking system, neither of us were particular keen on that, but we’ve added the travel pack, family pack and apparently I needed to add the heated two spoke steering wheel, so there are all on... Right, now time to put away the brochure and stop looking at options!!

I can vouch for this in a A6 and the A8 neither did/do a particularly good job by the time it had decided it could park itself I could have done it in half the time!

Hi, new on the forum, and by no means a boiler expert, but I've been having a few issues with my system so have been doing a fair bit of research. My system uses a hot water tank, mains fed and the boiler provides both hot water via this, and then heat via an underfloor wet sealed system. From what I was told, my hot water cylinder needed to be mains fed, the rest of the system is kind of sealed with top up tanks and pressure vessals. I've no basis for why the cylinder needed to be mains fed, I've got space in the loft for a tank. However, I've got really good mains pressure so maybe this was part of the reason? I know a good plumber if you need one, top quality work and won't rip you off. Cheers, Iain

Hi, thanks everyone, some really useful comments there. I wasn't aware how much more complex the systems had got, I'll be doing some research on the MIB's stuff and restrictions, always good to know about it. Personally on my Audi platform it was always relatively easy to use VCDS to re-code modules to get additional features and functions, my A8 was fairly fully loaded but with a few VCDS tricks I found I could turn on a few other bits, which was a pleasant surprise. Never even looked at what we could do on the Ford Kuga as we both knew we'd never be keeping it! In regards to the Škoda the wife isn't too fussed about High Beam assist, so I think we'll just stick with the Travel Pack, this gets me the lane assist, acc and sign recognition. If I find later I can add the High Beam then it will be a bonus, if not it's not a major issue. Right, time to get the updates passed to the dealer, then wait the 12 weeks we've been quoted before it turns up! That's the tough part!

Hi fellow new Skoda owner!

Hi All, Having just placed an order for a factory build SE-L model with 2.0tdi and DSG, I'm mulling over the options I've not picked and having second thoughts! I've had a good read over the forum, but to be honest I think I've confused myself more than got an answer, so I am hoping one of you kind folk can help. I understand that some of the 'options' on cars now can simply be turned on and off via software, but I also understand that others are more dependant on hardware to enable. We've added a few bits to the car, but in particular I'm now looking at some of the driver safety stuff, like lane assist and acc that I didn't spec. From my understanding I can add to my SE-L the 'Travel Pack' this comes with ACC and some front cameras for things like lane assist and sign recognition. With this added hardware can I then, via VCDS, turn on the 'High Beam Assist', and is there anything else it enables me to turn on! I also think I am right in thinking that without the hardware, the 'Blind Spot Assist' and 'Park Assist' aren't turn-on-able? Out of interest does anyone know the minimum hardware to enable such a feature? Many thanks in advance. Iain

Hi Everyone, been browsing the forum for wisdom and insight before taking the plunge on a new Skoda yesterday. Soon to be a new Kodiaq owner (or the wife will be), got a few weeks wait, but very excited to join you all. Thanks so much for the already very useful info I've read, look forward to being able to contribute. Cheers, Iain
