So it looks like it is ACC or nothing. A pity.

So if you deactivate the ACC on the driver assist section on the main central infotainment screen, you don't get a choice of Cruise Control or Speed Limiter on the drivers' selection from the spedo display with the steering wheel buttons? I would have expected you to still have that choice for Cruise control, just that the Adaptive part would have been disabled. That is the logic I would have expected.

I meant it would be very easy for the SW developers to set it up to be optional. There is a screen for selecting driver aids that would be the obvious place to have the option of selecting ACC or not. If it is available for the driver to select, if it isn't then it is a shame.

I don't see why you can't revert to normal CC. The software would just ignore the adaptive bits.

The problem with the missing key, other than the expense getting a new one is security. If the previous owner (or some one connected) still has the key then they can open the car and drive it. Obviously, The other problem is the Users can use the Skoda app and track the car. If your car gets stolen will the insurance pay out if the thief could track, open and start the car with the app and key? I have no idea on this but it is worth checking. At the very least you will need to erase all users and start by re-registering the keys and and Primary User (deleting all others)

Do you have a link for it? There are a lot out there and they are not all the same.I would prefer to get one some one has actually tried. (you can't really trust reviews on Amazon)

If it has Kessy, Keyless opening, it can be disabled. Mine is. Then use an RFID pouch for carrying keys in my pocket. So lock car with button on keyfob, put fob in pouch and pouch in pocket. As Haynes manuals would say entry is reverse procedure. Stop start requires the key to be in the car to work. Note you need to register the keys to the car via the primary users. You need BOTH keys when you buy the car and remove ALL users , generate a new prime user and password and change the Skoda Connect App. Otherwise previous owners could access the car and or track the location.

If you do that the hooks can slid along the rail. I hook the straps over two hooks and seperate them so the straps are tensioned and the bag doesn't fall off

100% agree. The manuals are not good at all.

Not with my wife either. Oh, you mean the Nav system!.... Seriously, I think I had my finger on the screen. You have to start at the extreme right of the box and sort of drag the edge to the left. A bit like with deleting called numbers on an iPhone. Once you get it: it is obvious until you forget, as I usually do, and start a new thread in a years time....

When you get the knack it is easy, however, getting the knack.....

Where in the manual? I find the Karoq manual appalling to use, and it keeps referring to the "on-line" manual, which never seems to have anything other than vague one line answers that don't work. .

I find it very good, especially as it has live traffic updates. I can't see why people would not use it.

As the title, how do you set the Nave system to avoid toll roads? I live near Birmingham, and we have the M66 toll running through the middle of the area. As the charge is £9.90 I want to avoid it but I can't see how to set "avoid Tolls" either in the nave system nor the Škoda Connect App. Any ideas?

The MS updates usually do list all the things that are fixed or changed. Though you do have to go looking for it. Automotive SW is different in that it has to be implemented to ISO26262 and MISRA-C and all changes have to be documented. That is normal in industrial software less so in stuff going to consumers, though usually you can, eventually, find the information. However it does tend to be less details than the sort of thing you are referring to.

#I wonder at what point they will put solar panels into the roof of cars for a constant tricked charge when parked? Given the higher continual drain on car batteries with all the electronics, I seem like a no-brainer. Especially for EV's where it could be the difference between keeping the system live, if not drivable, and a total shutdown.

It only takes a few moments and once you start to notice the grime you always see it. I went out and did mine.... well, the windscreen. Didn't bother with the rest.

Has anyone tried Costco in Birmingham?

This is an Old Wives Tale... however the old wives knew what they were talking about. It works. I heard it for house windows with "brown paper" It certainly works on house windows. However given the price (and rarity) of newspapers these days Unicorn tears and silk might be cheaper. 🙂 With reminds me I the wife was only saying yesterday that the windscreen, inside, needs cleaning....

Likewise for the OEM Karoq mats. A long discussion in here says it is worth having both the Skoda rubber mats and the carpet one for winter and summer. Cheaper than doing the same with wheels/tyres 🙂

My Karoq, from a Main Skoda dealer has the standard R18 alloys. I have only seen it spe'ed with R17,R18 and R19. Not seen it mentioned with R16

Aren't they very different cars on the same chassis?

Actually, it was not much effort. I edit a magazine and needed a break for 5 minutes. Yes, I am sure that there are, "somewhere" on this forum, pictures of the mounting points with a spare wheel set up because they are not quite so obvious and I dimly recall a discussion with pictures. .

As you will note, the three nets above share mounting points. Whilst that is the intended use by Škoda, they are quite adaptable and can be used differently. Also, 3rd party sets may work differently. The 4th net I have is a limited edition and is apparently a special order in some areas of Germany....
