Hi Stewart yes I ordered the camera set from AliExpress. was delivered in 6 days to me. Fitted without issues and works without any coding. cost was £41.67 delivered

Hi all. im looking to retro fit a reversing camera to my Kodiaq vRS. It’s a 2019 model. I have searched here and didn’t find anything where it has been done to this model before. I am looking at fitting an OEM or original tailgate handle with camera. Wondering if anyone has any experience with where to purchase the correct kit and if there is any additional programming needed and install. I would be confident in installing myself. Thanks

Thanks all for your help. I have PF Jones fitting a towing bar at the end of the month. Everything checked out in the end and the towing limit is 1,750kg

Thank you. I have contacted these guys and I got a very welcoming response. Hi, the rear bumper is different on the VRS but there are no problems installing to it. The best towbar that is actually available at the moment is the Oris detachable It would be £773.92 installed at your address including the software update. https://www.pfjones.co.uk/skoda-kodiaq-suv-2016-onwards-oris-detachable-towbar-en.html I will go ahead with these guys considering Skoda main dealer said they ant fit one as they do not have the "codes to re program the ECU, they are not available for my car"

If there is no towbar prep, which included upgraded cooling fans, radiator, zircon compressor, electrics etc, is it not going to be "un-safe" or potential to damage the vehicle if one is fitted when advised not too ?

Had an interesting conversion with a gentleman at Skoda Mansfield on the phone. Apparently, when he was looking at retro fitting a tow bar to my vehicle, there is nothing listed by Skoda and he said that one can not be retrofitted. Only a vRS that has been fitted with towbar prep can have a retro fitted towbar fitted. On the vin plate, I checked on mine that It can tow 1750kg, however, without towbar prep, they can not fit one 😞 I guess this leaves us with looking at selling the car. What a shame.

You are absolutely right. a) Values were not available at time of going to press. how convenient. Not sure how accurate the V5C is but that has 1750kg

Thank yo Yogi-Bear. I punched in my VIN on the Skoda Website and brought up the user manual relative to my car. The information for maximum permissible towing weight was there as was the maximum nose weight. According to some sources, it depends if the vehicle was fitted with Towbar Prep or not as to whether there is a need for any upgraded engine components like cooling fans, aircon compressor etc. I will try to reach out to a nearby Skoda dealership and see if they can obtain that for me. Thank You

Hello everyone, I have just joined this forum. 👋 After browsing some of the older threads here, I have been unable to find the information I was after. So many mixed opinions and not a clear answer found unfortunately. We have owned our Kodiaq vRS for around 18 months and we are now looking to use the car to two a caravan for some delightful Bristish staycation holidays. There are so many mixed reviews and feedback in relation to the vRS model of the Kodiaq and I am rather confused as to what is actually correct. Every website I check, stats a different maximum towing weight, ranging from 1750kg to 2300kg. The nose weight also I have seen range from 70kg through to 100kg Then there is also some comments on a possible requirement for upgraded cooling parts if towing. We currently do not have a tow bar fitted. We bought the car used so was not an option for a factory fit. I do not know if there is such a thing as tow bar prep from the factory or if our car has it. I really would like to find out the factual figures and if this Kodiaq will be capable of towing what we want too. I have tried to obtain this from my local Skoda dealer but they could not offer any solid or guaranteed figures 🤷‍♂️ - What is the nose weight of the Sokoda Kodiaq vRS 2019 7 Seats - What is the maximum total towing capacity/weight - Is there are requirement for any upgraded components, like the cooling to two Many thanks for your time.
