New Superb Mk4 estate owner
Have tried that button, see below for result. This was the display shown to me when I collected the car. Salesman explained it was a known problem waiting for a future update.

New Superb Mk4 estate owner
Hi Cedwing, I only use the built in maps. I hope that was not another free upgrade that only came after midnight on a certain day and I missed it.☹️

You appear to have the route planer working on the virtual cockpit. A feature that has not been actuated on the 2025 model. On th right hand dial I can get a compass and when th main screen is in route planner mode I get directions in place of the compass but never a map picture as you have.

Remote Park Assist - 2025 Model Year
Interesting, Thanks Scott. OK. Practically Remote Park is of little use but I still feel aggrieved that I bought what I considered the flagship model only to find I am one lifeboat short. Apart from not having a means to charge as I am driving as I had with my previous Citroen 5X I am loving every feature of the Superb estate.

Remote Park Assist - 2025 Model Year
The tenth letter in my VIN. Is S but my steering wheel logo is the Skoda arrow. My build was 14 November 2024.

Remote Park Assist - 2025 Model Year
Cedwing, we collected our cars about the same time in Dec 2024 but I do not have the Remote Parking on my app. The lowest option on the Car page is remote heating. I have the PHEV ut why should that make a difference.

Rear camera quality
Rear camera quality very poor on Superb L&K estate new in December 2024. Previous car was Citroen 5x with excellent rear graphics on a car half the price of my Superb. Wake up Skoda.

Driver assist - Front assist (automatic braking) over sensitive
New to me too. I find it reassuring that the car gives you a cuddle as it sets off.

Driver assist - Front assist (automatic braking) over sensitive
Terry this is Emergency Braking Assist. I have also had it activate when not expected. There is a thread on this but it appears that on the Mk3 the sensitivity could be adjusted but not on the Mk 4. I agree, quite frightening when it happens.

Driver assist - Front assist (automatic braking) over sensitive
Too much sensitivity on the Emergency Braking for me. Approaching a central refuge with a pedestrian waiting in it. As I neared the refuge the pedestrian moved to get a better view of traffic behind me and WHAM on go the brakes ferociously. I have also had this horrible experience on a speed hump coming out of the dealers where I bought the car. It is more than heavy braking, it feels like hitting something solid. Ridiculous that there is no way to adjust it.

You obviously looked like a picnic man, I must have looked like a teddy bear man. Enjoy.

Hit the send button before I saw the image. Klement is not for sale or adoption.

Free Gift
I went out for a new car with a short list of a Peugeot 508 tourer or a Superb estate. Richmonds Botley were my first port of call and I never went on to Peugeot dealer. It all looked good but the deal clincher was the retractable tow bar.

Free Gift
Interesting, we nearly met. I collected mine 16 december from Botley. It was a new model to Mark my sales guy and the included warning triangle in the boot was new to him.

Free Gift
When I collected my L&K estate in December this little feller came with it. Was it a Christmas gift or did every one with an L&K get one. His name tag identifies him as Klement.

Lower Door Mirrors in Reverse
There is a facility to dip the door mirrors when reverse is selected. It is enabled in Vehicle-vehicle-Exterior-Mirrors This is selected on my car but the mirrors do not move. Anyone else experienced this?

Order and delivery times for MK4 Superb
Superb L&K PHEV Estate cobalt blue. Manufacturer's options: Family Package, HUD, Retractable tow bar.. Dealership options: Lifeshine, You were wise choosing the rear wiper option. My last car was a Citroën C5X, no rear wiper the shape of the car and airflow was supposed to sweep the water off the rear screen. Never worked. Ordered the Skoda 30 August, quoted 6 - 8 weeks delivery. collected 16 December. Early in December I was told car was at in Germany waiting for a ship. Agree with you, pot luck when it gets transported. Hope you are as pleased as I am with mine. Best car ever.

Software failure not so Superb
I seem to have had the December update without any message that I noted. I now have ChatGPT attached to Laura and I can ask her virtually anything now. Using Laura now needs to be more precise, I recently wanted navigating to a certain village and she replied with a wealth of information and history of that village but without directing me to it. Screen shot of my system details.

2.0TSi 4x4 or 2.0tdi 4x4?
Thanks Terry, I have Goodyear Eagles on 18" wheels. Mine was built 14/11/2024 which was a Thursday. Had a good look at the menu system yesterday and found the surround sound settings and the graphic equaliser. Also tried the auto parking for the first time. A bit scary as it moves in so close to the car it is parking behind that the warning buzzer sounds, but it finished in the right place.

2.0TSi 4x4 or 2.0tdi 4x4?
Just read TerryMcK on surround sound and car-spots-roundabout topic. I had not noticed that, my Predictive Cruise Control will steer around corners and roundabouts but without slowing down, Where is the select ON for surround sound. I also tend to reach down for the gear change but getting used to it and it is a better place to have it, now I know its there.
