Rear view camera
It's an unfortunate fact that Briskoda can't be the be all and end all to all our members. However you can judge that people are generally willing to help if or when they are able. Therefore comments like, "Thanks for nothing" won't help to elicit a response in future. Hopefully your dilemma is sorted but please remember that Briskoda doesn't work better by adding unnecessary confrontation.

Maps update
I personally think thereβs always going to be specific cases like this where local enforcement has changed. Hopefully they can be picked up on subsequent map updates but in the meantime it pays to be vigilant and understand your surroundings - which should be happening as a matter of course anyway. π

There's been quite a few instances of 'new' batteries not being as good as they claim.

felicia temperature
john999boy replied to jonnycilia's topic in Skoda Favorit, Skoda Felicia, Skoda Fun and Skoda FormanI find it very tedious when these spats are in open forum as it really doesn't make for good reading. I would hope that the original 'protagonists' are able to continue with meaningful contributions and without any further issues starting (or the present ones continuing). Hopefully my polite request doesn't go unheeded! π₯

The Fabled March 31st fix all
At the risk of staying OT, I went to see the Kia Soul EV launch event today and was told that map updates are free (for 7 years?) My other VAG car (Cupra) also costs to update but I've never felt the need to use anything other than Google Maps for RTT navigation. If you want to start a thread about how bad (you perceive) that Kia cars are then please feel free to do so in a more appropriate section. π

LED Matrix Headlights query
If it follows the normal VAG convention then it needs activating with each journey. That's the way on my Superb too.

Since Refuel / Long Term counters keep resetting
It was the 'engine off' quote that suggested it was more than waiting.

Since Refuel / Long Term counters keep resetting
Is it something as simple as you looking at the short term readings when you previously looked at the long term ones?

Best place to buy spray paint
I don't know where you live but Sheffield (or Rotherham) Refinishing Supplies will make up spray cans to your RAL colour. You'll have to ask about delivery if you're not local though.

Much as it would be nice for people to hear an update, it can happen when the OP is ready. π

Only 5Live on my DAB
Quite a few people have this problem due to poorly routed dashcam cables. Could this be a possibility?

Creating a route on my Satnav
Create the A-C for and pick your preferred way. Then simply select a new destination (B) and you will be asked if that's a different destination or a 'via' point. The car appears to be cleverer than the OP. π

Switched live in VRS iV
Welcome OM. There are a few other hams on here that may be able to help. I personally have never bothered going /M (at least for a good few decades) but good to hear that others still do. π»

price increase
Some other VAG marques increased their prices at the start of April - maybe it included Skoda too?

That's not strictly true as it can be done at anytime! Edit:- Looks like George beat me to it

Iβd be more concerned that the car is slightly overpriced! π

Tyre cleaning before storage. Too fastidious?
This year has had its fair share of cold mornings but not too much in the way of snow here. Granted that I'm a bit below you but I still think winter wheels are a good idea. I also clean the tread!
