Morning I don’t have the full VC so can’t help with that unfortunately but as far as I’m aware you can only put the Škoda nav screen on the VC, I may be wrong but I’m sure that’s what I’ve read somewhere 🤔 I have driven a Karoq with the full VC and tried it with the nav but can’t honestly say it’s something I’d use, I prefer to use the main screen as I found it a bit too cramped and busy with the map displayed in there to be of any use. (To me at least)

@Lady Elanore @pinkpanther Thanks both, one of those ‘right place right time’ shots, my daughter and I had walked down to the beach to watch the sunset and as she was paddling in the water in the foreground Mother Nature put on a quite spectacular show for us.

I’ve found the same with the Škoda navigation, certainly not the most intuitive system in the world. In fairness I’ve not used a manufacturers built-in nav that ever was to be honest. Come the end of my initial 12 month ‘everything included for free’ period I won’t be renewing it, both Apple Maps and Google Maps are so much more user friendly and easier on the eye. Obviously the live traffic reporting and ‘free’ continuous updates also make it a no-brainier for me, I do wonder why manufacturers think people would choose their clunky, overpriced systems over Android Auto or CarPlay? (Provided it’s supported of course) As an example in my previous vehicle, a Vauxhall but please don’t hold that against me 😆, they wanted £125 for a subscription to their live traffic reporting after the first year of ownership.

One from Cornwall a few years back, looking forward to a few coastal sunsets again this year. (This is Porthcothan)

Found this in the workshop manual…

I’ve been trying to figure this out as well but on a Amundsen unit and with no success to date. I also assumed that you could upload a picture for the ‘infotainment’ profiles as well but again this doesn’t seem to be an option.

I haven’t heard that one in a while! 😂👍🏻

@Wingnut73uk This may help, there are a lot of detailed dimensions here… https://www.ridc.org.uk/features-reviews/out-and-about/choosing-car/car/karoq-15-tsi-5dr-saloon-2017 HTH

Here’s photo of the engine minus the cover but with the peg that’s missing (top left) in later engines. (Not my photo)

Bit of a thread resurrection but did you ever resolve this? I got a Karoq this week with the Amundsen unit and while setting it up I ran into the same thing, the greyed out avatar would seem to suggest you can add an image but so far no joy. Anyone have a definitive answer as dealer seemed unsure?

It looks like it’s just the 4th peg on the top left as the other 3 pegs are all present, from what @sussamb describes it looks like there’s no longer a threaded hole or fixing on the aluminium cover as with previous iterations.

I want to ask a favour if anyone has the parcel shelf under-netting please. I haven’t got a Fabia but wondered if this would fit the parcel shelf in a Karoq. What I’m looking for is the length of the plastic trim (A in the photo) and the width of the netting between the two arrows (B) Cheers

The cover definitely finishes off the engine bay, the tiny token thing they fit now is utterly pointless.

Ah right, they must’ve since changed the design of the aluminium housing and deleted the mounting point for the engine cover peg. Thanks for checking.

That was my first thought 😂 I don’t have blind spot monitoring on mine, which you’d think in this day and age would be standard, even had it as standard on my previous van.

Cheers 👍🏻

I’ve just been looking at my engine bay and I’m tempted to try a ‘full size’ engine cover, it looks like 3 of the 4 mounting pegs are present, can anyone confirm where the 4th one would be as there doesn’t seem to be anything obvious? It would be the upper left one as you’re looking at the engine, thanks.

@Bywateronline I’ve just been out and checked mine and I have exactly the same as you, dimming only on the drivers side, must be a UK spec thing?

The best thing to do is ask your dealer for the current status of your order on their system. From mine being at ‘Status 38 - Port of exit released’ it took 3 weeks until I picked it up from the dealer.

I knew about the rear view mirror but didn’t know about the wing mirrors, well I never! 😂 I’ll have to check but it’ll be tomorrow now so I’ll have to let you know 👍🏻

Dimming wing mirrors? I must admit I’ve never heard of them before, I picked up my new SportLine on Friday and I’m fairly certain they are the standard electric mirrors with demisting, folding housings and movable glass unless I’ve missed something? 🤔

I also think it looks neater with a full sized engine cover instead of the token one they fit now near the oil filler cap. I suspect it’s down to cost cutting as has been mentioned above, no cooled glovebox, no second boot light/torch and now the engine cover plus a few other minor differences that have occurred over the last few years.

Afraid not, just regular hinges and a stay as on previous MY’s.

I agree, it is quite small but a useful addition nonetheless, I always keep a ‘golf’ sized umbrella in the boot anyhow ☔️

The dealers coffee was on point
