Does it fit? (Wheels)
Thanks for the detailed info. I did order 7.5” rims but the shop gave me 8” for some reason and claims that i’ve agreed on them. Summer wheels are 19” altairs (225/40/19) from skoda. Winters have to be 18” . I dont mind the harsh ride, since i can tune it with DCC. But yeah. I’m was thinking that new proper size wheel set would be 500€ more now. If the 8” wide wheels just fit (with the 225/45/18) i’ll keep it to save a big buck. They are Dezent TR’s. Also i did notice that they weighted about as much as my previous 16” wheels. So pain is no problem. Pretty sure tje original 19” altairs weigh more.

Skoda Connect App Store Choices
I’ve got an option to get more ambient light choices. I’d think that vRS has them already? Can someone post a picture with the extra color options enabled?

Drive mode select or DCC? .... that is the q
It shows the control voltage of each damper. Its like 0.3V is comfort and 1.0V is sport. Unfortunately OBD11 does not support charts on iphone 😞

I used OBD11 with SFD unlock function to open the module. So yeah, that guide is for MQB platform, but since the patient is MQBevo, it required SFD unlock before the changes.

Well i did try that. But i'm not sure if i should have to turn off power after that or something. Tried 2500 -> 2000, 200 and 0. Should i be able to clear it right away?

Thats a dashboard from home assistant (https://www.home-assistant.io/) And yes, i can just tap on the tablet display to active heating/cooling. Uses the same API as the mobile app. My car come with two keys and a key for Petrol heater (webasto). In summer its possible to use that as a ventilation, but i prefer to use AC from the app.

How dumb do you think Skoda drivers are Thats not so distinguishable I was looking straight at the camera on the other one.

1. Thats a DCC dampener, if someone is interested 😛 Took a picture while it was clean. 2. Just edited it out to be more less recognisable 😛 183km in the odometer so far, -29 from factory/transportation. 0 issues so far. Also happy to have both cars in Home Assistant. I've got a tablet in the hallway for quick car climatisation when leaving home.

iV will not shift to e-drive
There is no normal alternator. On iV models the 12V battery is charged from the high voltage battery. The ICE just wants to be on from time to time

Drive mode select or DCC? .... that is the q
I must say that the DCC is a fine option. I almost daily change my DCC settings depending on where i drive, or what i like. Also did some ODB11 live viewing of the dampeners. They really seem to be "active" all the time. More on this later.

Also, is it possible to active travel assist with acc? If i want to continue my cancelled speed, i need to hit Resume on the stalk and then Travel assist button to enable lane assist.

I found a possible solution to headlight washer delay. Can someone confirm, to apply headlight washer delay, i change that "SRA verzoengerungzeit" from 0ms to 2000ms and hit slide to write? Can something go wrong?

Those 19" Becrux aren't really often seen.

Please replace key battery...
Because of pricing. "Lets make a cheaper one so it will sell more" - not meaning that it would be better. I tried Ikea battires on my car fob. Didnt survive a winter. Changed back to some "known" brand.

Delivery times?
They will. But i guess the 1896 only comes via OTA Yessss. All the bells and whistles! Short ~100km driving around the city today. Car is well.. still huge compared to old mk7.5 golf. Improvements have happened since test drives. Charging cable unlocks when unlocking the car via KESSY or coming to the car.

Delivery times?
Factory is/was on holidays. Wait for few weeks to get any real answers. I bet they are trying to figure out what parts they can deliver etc. It all also depends if they managed to build all unfinished cars before the holidays.
