@ SurreyJohn, is there a price list anywhere for the rims?

Would be very surprised if every variant wasn’t wired to accommodate most add-ons, they simply don’t connect them if they’re not fitted. If a specific item is then ordered as an extra, it just has to be fitted, no need to get involved with messing with the wiring loom.

I’m driving a 2020 Sportline 1.5 dsg also with 19in wheels and Interested that you’ve made no mention to how you find the overall ride despite the fact you say you have terrible potholes in the area. I’ve looked at changing to a smaller wheel but think the cost will be prohibitive and so I’m likely to stay with the current set up and just try to find a more ‘comfortable riding’ tyre. Would be interested to see which tyres you choose and how they ride.

Thank you @ RCC49, AGFalco, Modders Must confess I’d not given thought to volume control - if we’ve had the radio on and Significant Other has made the call we’ve left the volume as is, the outgoing (or incoming) ring-tone has been at the same level. In the circumstances we’d have expected to have heard the callers voice (or vice-versa). Perhaps have another look tomorrow just to see if we need to adjust the call volume although can’t see that if the ring-tones ok why we’d not hear voices?

Thanks CJJE, I have since found an older thread about this and it seems that VAG are aware of this but as we’re the only country that uses postcodes they’ll not likely update the way the satnav system works - it’ll highlight the centre of area accompanied by map co-ordinates. Others suggest, as you have, that it’s a case of inputting the address long-hand and if it’s a POI the system should recognise it. Very disappointing. Others use linked Google maps or similar such as Waze, which is fine if you’re fully tech-savvy. Sadly we’re not all youngsters 😏

It’s been about a month now since we bought our Karoq and the infotainment system is driving me mad. Perhaps it’s just ‘operative error’ having come from Land Rover that had a basic, yet workable system. My main issues - Satnav; why does every postcode location I input appear as ‘Off-road’ followed by a series of two numbers, possibly map references? Why will it not show the road name or location I’m aiming for? I’ve no idea if the location I’ve input is right or not? - Phone; I’ve linked my mobile, all my contacts have been transferred in ok. However if I select one, or there’s an incoming call, I cannot hear them or vice versa. I’ve toggled the hold call/microphone options, but still nothing. I’m sorry if these are such basic issues but I’ve looked in the handbook, been into the menu/settings screens but cannot find any solutions to either problem and quite frankly it’s making this aspect of Skoda ownership a nightmare.

Are these still available? Size?

You’re referring to the 235/50/R19 as a Kodiaq size. Would that size tyre fit my OEM Karoq rims? Am sorry that this is probably so straightforward for many to understand, but I am just so confused. Thank you everyone for your patience

Now this is probably going to be a very stupid question but rather than fit smaller wheels what is stopping me fitting full size tyres to the existing rims? Is it simply a question of there not being space, or the rims aren’t designed to accommodate any other tyres but the OEM low profiles? I only ask since I was speaking to someone earlier today, explaining about the tyre issue and he said he’s had19in wheels as standard on his Mercedes with way less clearance than the Karoq and so it just made me wonder.

Thank you SurreyJohn, useful detail 👍

Spoke to a proper tyre guy today that I’ve used before, a long established family business not your KwikFit wideboys, and his feelings were that switching to a 235/40/19 would achieve little and his advice would be to switch to say a 17in wheel with full-sized tyres. This would obviously cost more but if it achieves the desired outcome, it may be the way we need to go. Bearing this in mind, I had a quick look at the Skoda wheel booklet and there are 17in rims listed under all models. Would I be right to assume that any of these would fit my Karoq? Appreciate buying Skoda rims direct wouldn’t be cheap, it was more for getting ideas. Would also be useful to know, should there be any turn up in the For Sale section. There’s plenty of wheel suppliers about who offer suitable rims or rim/tyre packages.

A slightly different question concerning the satnav, if I could perhaps tag it on to this thread. When I’m inputting a location in by way of a postcode it’s not producing an address but ‘off-road and numbers’. For example I input the postcode for Mote Park Maidstone, it gave me three such comments and sets of numbers. From previous experiences other cars I’d have expected such a large location as this to have given me either the main entrance or the centre of the park. Is there a setting somewhere that I need to change.

They’ve gone now, someone on my previous car forum has had them

I have a message keep appearing ‘’Data transfer is currently set to ‘use my position’. You can find out what this setting entails and how you can change it in the control centre” I went into settings and thought I’d set up various options to clear this, but can’t now find them again. However, what I did get were email messages telling me that various services had been deactivated but these could be activated by going into the infotainment system. Appreciate I’ve only had the car a few weeks and these things need time, but there seems to be nothing straightforward 🤔

Thanks guys, can probably get shot of most of the spare bulbs I’ve accumulated in recent years for overseas trips 😏

That’s interesting, thank you. I’ve run Cross Climates on a Subaru Impreza, Forester and Land Rover Freelander, obviously in differing sizes, and have been very impressed with them as an all-weather tyre. We don’t get sufficient heavy or deep enough snow here in the south east to warrant separate summer and winter tyres. Present tyres may have another six months maximum in them so will certainly consider the CC2 again, but in the 235 H variant. Might start checking the prices out before then, may be deals going 🤞

Where can I find a list of bulbs for my 2020 Sportline? Apologies for asking but still finding my way around the site (and the car 😄) and cannot seem to find a list anywhere; I’ve got a lot of spare bulbs from my previous car and wondered if they’d be of any use in the future

No disrespect to previous contributors and those on the other threads but here’s a response I can understand 👍

Thank you, sensed that might sadly be our only option; disappointing, as I like the look of the low profiles on the 19in rims, but it’s more a case of keeping SO happy. My mileage is just over 19k and the fronts are more worn than the rears; suspect they could have been on from new, so may be in the market for new tyres all round within the next six months any way. Will see if anyone else has any suggestions 🤞

We’ve had our 2020 Sportline 1.5 dsg for a few weeks and am very pleased with it. It came fitted with Bridgestone Turanza 225/40/19 93Y which I believe are the OEM option. I’ve never driven anything with low profiles before so am having to get used to the extra road noise and ride. However, Significant Other although not expressing any discomfort with the ride tends to point out every bit of rough road, pot-hole etc and I sense she’s no longer enjoying travelling any distance and that it’s wearing for her. To make her life (and mine 😏) a bit more manageable I’m wondering about swapping the tyres out for something that would provide a more comfortable ride. I’ve read a couple of the other threads on here but am really none the wiser. If I’m going to have to buy four new tyres, I’d rather not change the Vega rims as well. What are the easiest options. Has anyone been through this? Thank you

Sorry, am I the only one that might be wondering why the thread is headed ‘Mr Steve Hoyle’

Thank you, that’s useful. We’ve noticed it come on over speed bumps, potholes, sharp braking, cornering more so than during ordinary driving which would suggest there could perhaps be something wrong internally or externally with the aerial. Will have to wait and see what workshop come up with.

Had the car a week now and this message is coming up in the dash intermittently. I’ve spoken to the dealer and been assured it’s a known issue with all VW based vehicles and the cars safe to drive. It’s going in to the workshop to get the problem sorted and I’ve been told it could be some hours so will be given a courtesy car. Am assuming it’s a software issue and an update will be run to correct it, hence it being in for a while. It’s also affecting the satnav which also points me towards software. I was told it doesn’t affect all vehicles but Skoda can’t identify which ones it does 🤔

Thank you, mystery solved. Must admit that was the only thing I could think of; with hindsight if I’d left the mobile indoors and icons hadn’t been there I’d have answered my own question.

On the top of the infotainment screen there is a battery icon as well as what appears to be the strength signals that you tend to see on your mobile. Had a look through the handbook and cannot see what these are for although I suspect they’re for something pretty obvious? Perhaps related to my phone which I have would have with me. Only had the car a week and think I’ve sorted out most of the other icons, these are bugging me 🤔 Thank you
