I'd second that. I don't know if our test drive ENYAQ also had the progressive steering but both that and our Sportline feel good and light when you want it, but not twitchy at high speeds at all.

Its because this is on a new shared VWG platform (MEB - 2019), so you've come from a well established platform (MQB - circa 2012 first iteration) to a brand new platform. This needs to have the functions available for the app to call, which I'm guessing are just not there yet. The best indication of what is coming is to keep an eye out on the ID3/4/5 cars as they are the same platform and VW seem to be pushing on with things quicker than Skoda. Clearly from what the app developers have said, they have no clue on new features that may or may not appear either.

Its ruddy confusing and I'm still trying to work out how it works programmatically, but I think you need to be enrolled as a MFi developer to get access to the information which is annoying! Apple docs on the net say it is available to use in their 'plugin' but then all references to turn-by-turn info for the HUD just refers to Maps using it, and not others. So who knows!

I only have an iPhone so can't help with AA, but CarPlay certainly *can* use the HUD. I say can, as only seen Apple Maps being able to use it so far. Google Maps on iPhone doesn't give HUD, neither does ABRP (though I have raised a request with them). I've heard Waze can also do HUD, but haven't tried it yet, will let you know when I get a chance. Any other apps you want me to try? Should also be noted, it doesn't appear the augmented reality bit will work with with CP or AA. I think Skoda will need to add some integration there to take details from AA/CP and use them to drive the chevrons.

VWG are very fractured with their software development but it sounds like they are trying to sort it. The MEB platform is the first iteration of VWG cars sharing a common platform both hardware and software, I think they plan another interaction of closer integration between the brands (think they said 2026) and finally a V3 of this common platform will eventually bring all brands together on a single software (and cloud) solution. This was presented at IAA 2021 (search for CARIAD IAA 2021 on YouTube). Not quite as bad as Android as it least the platform here (MEB) consists of shared hardware and software so the base is at least the same. Interesting to see Audi have moved away from the stock look and feel with their MEB Q4 e-tron, I wonder how much customisation of s/w they have done other than to reskin it. Skoda haven't given any more details than that tweet I posted so unsure as to what the update for OTA will do. It appears all ENYAQ are on a s/w version the same or greater than the ID cars 2.1 which was the enabler for their OTA. So the 'update' may be nothing more than enabling an OTA config/flag to allow it. However VW have said for V3 that they need the cars in to update modules that are currently not OTA-updatable so its highly likely that is the same in the ENYAQ. The rumour is at least one module that is required for the upgraded charging (rumoured 125kW for smaller battery and 170kW for larger batter) is not currently OTA-able and that is what requires the dealer visit. So maybe we will just make the jump to V3. Other than OTA, it looks like the ENYAQ is pretty much on VW's 2.1.

Still no idea what Skoda do to the base software delivered from CARIAD (VWG software group), clearly there are differences between the look and feel of the ENYAQ and ID cars, but the rest seems to be very similar, so you'd think the ENYAQ could quite easily take the 09XX software without too much trouble but maybe they are holding off and releasing V3 as a big bang as that is what looks to be coming with the ID5 which is the VW equivalent of the ENYAQ coupe.

From what I've seen build weeks are only assigned a month or maybe two head of where they are currently producing, so you wont get one until it is only a month or two out from build. It took me a month to get a build week and that was back in July before it went completely crackers.

I got confirmation on Twitter, however I wouldn't be surprised if its only earlier ENYAQ that need to visit the dealer or if Skoda on Twitter are completely wrong! I do wonder as it appears ENYAQs are on S/W version 0792 and 0795 which are the same or above the ID update that enabled OTA (2.1 which was 0792). Might be although the s/w is capable of OTA it is disabled and that needs a dealer to enable it.

If you follow the 'smooth motion lever' to where it meats the glovebox door, you can push where it meets the door down towards where the hinge is and it will come free. You then move it out to the left away from the door to free it. To get the door down, you need to reach in the sides and find the tabs and push them away from the box on each side.

As Roo says the dealer contribution has been reduced to £500 now. We kept our £750 but only by the dealer taking the £250 difference off the price of the car.

Skoda has confirmed that OTA updates are coming to the ENYAQ with the release of the coupe in Q2 2022. Whether this will be V3, who knows, they did say that a trip to the dealer will be required to enable the OTA updates.

Rumours are the iV60 and iV80 will both get a bump in charging speed. I think iV60 to 120kW and iV80 to 170kW or numbers around those.

Be interested in this too. Thinking of doing similar with carbon fibre matt effect on the HUD 'divider' that appears to be piano black in all the images/video's I've seen.

I've seen this mentioned on Facebook too, who's system is down? My dealer emailed me a screenshot yesterday saying mine was en route to Emden (or even there). I've heard on Facebook that Skoda UK live chat are saying their system is down or showing wrong status but dealers can get the right status? No idea how they can be on different systems, madness if they are!

The MEB platform this is based on (both hardware and software) is brand new and shares across VWG (ID3/4, Enyaq, Born) so will not be as fully featured as older more mature Skoda software and apps, but features should be coming. I say should, ID owners have been waiting over a year now for their 12 weekly software updates that we’ll now be bundled in with.

Ours is en-route or at Emden so on its way! Been publicised in the media that they are significantly ramping down or stopping production mid Oct to the end of the year to try and clear the back log of cars in the airfield.

Just had word ours is on way to the port. No mention of missing features, all seem present and correct on the system screen (they sent me a screenshot) but admittedly I’ve not ordered any of the options that appear to be going missing like electric child lock and traffic jam assist.

Just to resurrect this a bit, mine was ordered 20th July and has been confirmed as a MY22 even though when I ordered they were on MY21. I think as it was after build week 31/32 when the factory shuts down for next year retooling, it automatically became a MY22. My dealer sent over a screenshot of my order which is how I found out. He says there is no practical difference though

Do you have a pic? I've not seen a review yet that doesn't show the seat splits 60/40 but that is the rear/back of the seat, not the bench. AFAIK the bench itself (the bit your bum goes on) is fixed?

I think probably the deep sleep entry is giving you a view into a master list of options that isn't actually enabled to the owner. From my experience having worked in software development for nearly 20 years, I wouldn't be surprised if the menus that are normally available are a subset of those that exist and they are just turned on and off in parameters when the software is packaged up for actual customer cars, based on what they deem is acceptable to include in that version (i.e. its working and tested). That way when they are happy it is ready it is much more easily turned 'on'. When you enter the menu from deep sleep, I suspect it is not applying this 'filtering' to remove the restricted features, and what you are seeing is features that are in the works but not 'released' for the general public. I'd report it up to Skoda, but dont be surprised if next release they are just missing from the deep sleep menu as they will just apply the same filtering. Or maybe the features will make the cut and you can use them 😀

Its a 60/40 split if thats what you mean?

Ours is currently Status 20 - with production order - which I think means it should be in build (build week was last week). Could be built waiting on chips, or just in build but who knows. Plant is meant to be shut this week. Might have a try at seeing if Skoda will give me an update tomorrow, dealer was the one to say it was Status 20 and I usually flip-flop between them so neither gets hassled too much!

Wonder if somehow when the car is asleep it is not putting any restrictions on the menus (regional or something) and then when its awake it does? Could quite easily be a routine is checking if the car is in sleep or something and if it is then it lets you see it (maybe this is the master list of options) - which it still shouldn't I guess. But when you come to apply the setting, it only lets you see what you are meant to. Any reference to it in the manual?

Ok that blows that theory out the water then!

Neither. Self sealing is like having a bit of the gunk already in the tyre. So if you get a nail or small hole there is some gunk that will seal It straight away. Skoda believe this negates the need for a gunk kit and pump, so my understanding is cars with self sealing tyres don’t get the kit. I’ve read cars with the self sealing tyres don’t get that kit, only cars with standard tyres get it.
