- No DAB signal with rear demist active
They could share a common earthing point which would explain the loss of signal when hrw is turned on.- No DAB signal with rear demist active
You could fit a dab windscreen aerial to solve the radio issue https://kenwoodshop.co.uk/products/cxdab1?srsltid=AfmBOooPZommXdYUdO9WLKugFe_yKkR_gnEt8_pvGiOGRjzQNWJHvJg0- Does rotor arm position affect timing?
Long time since I played with a distributor. But turning the distributor body (hence adjusting the rotor position) is how the dynamic timing is set once you have it started. Strobe light on the crankshaft timing marks for the right setting.- Heated mirrors
Sorry if my post gave the implication that leaving switched on would be "catastrophic" that was not the intent. Even in the on position I doubt the mirrors are heated all the time, there will no doubt be a timer involved. The point was they would be activated everytime the vehicle was started which may not be necessary and wasteful, especially in an ev. When they are connected to HRW you know when they are likely to be on because the hrw does have an indication that it is on. The switch on the door panel is less visible whilst driving.- No DAB signal with rear demist active
I would try position one which on older cars would have been intermittent, what used to vary the time becomes sensitivity of sensor.- sd card wont read
Possibly a 32gb limit on a 2010. I will have a dig about in the manuals. Manuals for that year state Amundsen and Bolero can accept Sd and sdhc cards up to 32gb But the Columbus manual says https://www.skoda.co.uk/apps/manuals/Detail?model=Octavia_1Z&edition=05-2009&market=&manualLang=en- the truth about electric cars
"Roughly 37% of methane emissions come from highly concentrated sources at relatively few sites. Therefore, methane capture devices installed on a small number of sites could have a huge impact. Implementing existing technology to capture and use or burn methane at 3000-6000 sites worldwide could have the equivalent greenhouse gas impact of taking 100 million cars off the road" https://overshoot.footprintnetwork.org/portfolio/burning-methane/ "Methane is a potent greenhouse gas — 28 times more potent than CO2 over 100 years. It can be turned into CO2 by simply burning it, reducing its global warming potential by 96.4%."- Model Year
My car was built in 2022 but has P (MY23) as it's model year in the vin number at position 10 So I believe a MY2025 will be an S in that position.- No DAB signal with rear demist active
If the car has no aerial and uses the rear screen it is a possibility. Have you noticed if parts of the rear window don't demist? It could also just be the quality of the earthing points of the hrw and aerial amp.- Model Year

Why would he want rid of it. Yesterdays video has had over 148,000 views in less than 24hrs.- the truth about electric cars

It is clickbait, the letter does not mention his house insurance and also invites him to call about renewal to clarify the change in circumstances he notified them about earlier.- the truth about electric cars

- Heated mirrors
I always read the manuals but have never had a car before when it has been necessary to turn heated mirrors on. They have always been connected to the screen or HRW. But my normal Brand has been Ford. Now I have to remember to turn them off. I assumed with the enyaq it was because it was an EV and use affects range. (ever so slightly). Didn't realise until your post that it appears to be a Skoda/vag idea?- Trained Parking
Sorry I thought i had found it in the manual It appears to be an option in the 2024 brochure for the Kodiaq sportline Kodiaqs built after November 2024 https://digital-manual.skoda-auto.com/w/en_GB/show/57416023c62d68de139af911964d9636_2_en_GB?ct=d8c6f591b1504b90ac144525151480a4_2_en_GB#titled3081220e114165- Trained Parking
