Can I somehow narrow down the problem? Can the switch be diagnosed with vcds?

Hi all, I experience a strange situation on our 2020 Skoda Superb 2.0 TDI: Every now and then - approx 1 out of 3 starts - the cruise control is not available. The indicator icon in the dash is gone, using the switch to turn off and on doesn't do anything, and the infotainment says that cruise control is turned off. In such a situation, if you turn off the car and turn it on again, cruise control becomes active (at least it worked like that so far). The car has the simple cruise control (not ACC), and it is activated all the time via the switch on the lever, so I'd rather rule out a faulty hardware switch. Is this a software bug? Anyone experienced the same? Any help is appreciated - thanks!

I‘m also interested in the topic! My 2020 S3 „Style“ comes with start button from the factory, but the first owner decided to save the 150€ of the KESSY option. Now I‘d like to retrofit it. More detailed information is very appreciated! Eg do I need to change the key fobs as well ? What software (of what component) needs to be updated and how to do it? thx!

Hi everybody, I’m Martin from Austria. I’m a cat enthusiast, typically working on old Volkswagen cars from the 80 and 90s. But we have also two „modern“ cars as daily drivers, a Superb 3V from 2017, and a facelift model from late 2020. I’m visiting this forum mostly for the trains to grab more information about the cars, and to find out modding tricks and possibilities for retrofitting original Skoda extras the car didn’t get from the factory.
