Thanks terrygriff, very interesting. If we ever get out of lockdown, I'll be very interested to see how these ideas pan out.

Thanks all. Put a meter across the battery this morning and it read 12.3v so whacked the battery charger on it today. Will try it out when allowed to go on a journey!!

Thanks for your response. The battery turns the engine over pretty efficiently but I'll put a multi-meter on it tomorrow just to be sure. I don't believe the previous owner disabled it as my wife used it last night and she said it worked on one occasion. Despite intensive interrogation, I was unable to discover anything meaningful as to what is causing this possible issue. So can you give me some idea of what conditions you believe are necessary for the stop/start to work? Does the engine have to be right up at working temperature and no other significant electrical pull from other stuff e.g. heated windows, mirrors, aircon etc.

Hi All, My second question in 2 days, apologies!! I have yet to manage to get the stop/start function to work on my 2017 Yeti Outdoor (1.2 Semi Auto). Today, I had to take my mother for her Covid-19 vaccination and on the way back home I expected the engine to stop when I pulled up at the traffic lights. Didn't happen. I had heating, aircon etc all turned off but still the engine kept running (my foot was on the footbrake and the car was in "D"). Any thoughts on what I may be doing wrong or is there something wrong that I need to return it to the garage. I traded in a KIA Ceed and the Stop/Start on that was useless but this was a known issue. I've previously had a MkVII VW Golf and never had this kind of issue (I believe it's similar technology to the Skoda). Thanks in advance

Thank you both for your responses (langers2k and logiclee). I do have Smartlink so I think the sensible option is as suggested, hook up the iPhone and use Maps. Not sure how much data this will use but I'm sure to find out. Once again, many thanks to you both for your information.

Hi All, Just purchased a Yeti Outdoor thinking it had sat nav only to discover that it doesn't. Completely my own stupid fault but of course, I now want to remedy the situation. I see other Yeti Outdoors for sale with a unit in that has sat nav. Does anyone know the model number or anything that I could find out where to get one (hopefully not from a main dealer as I'm sure it will be prohibitively expensive). Any help would be greatly appreciated from this newbie. TIA Stu
