Thanks all for the posts. I guess like everything technology can help or hinder. Be nice if they just kept the good stuff on cars - better safety, they don't rust within weeks, 74mpg from a 999cc engine (I have the 100ish bhp Fabia with 6th gear) on a 120mile motorway trip) and just forget the rest..though being able to use my phones satnav on the screen is sooooo much better. At least one good thing came out of the day..I found I actually have a hard copy of the manual. No idea how i failed to notice this for 6 months 🤣🤣

Thanks Dereku, I factory reset everything I could find via the infotainment centre and it resolved itself. Though then the screen displayed "no entries" and it took, I am not going to say how long, a while to realise that I just needed to press one button on the steering wheel to set it back to show driving data, D'oh!!! Then another good while to reconnect the car to Skodaconnect. All good fun on a Sunday, oh yes 🤣🤣

Hi Today when I started my car, not the first time today, I got the strange image as attached on the console display which persists until I turn the lane or front assist off...though once I have done that it then simply displays e.g lane assist deactivated and you can't scroll through the usual options with the roller on the steering wheel. It is the basic console. Any ideas anyone?

Thanks Derek, i had read that but hoped they were just being overly cautious. The last thing i need is to have to take it to a Skoda place to be charged a silly amount of money to fix something caused by the battery being disconnected. Hmm,well i have ordered a small 12v batt to try and keep the car alive long enough for it to not notice the main battery had been disconnected or i may just apply the "if it ain't broke don't fix it" mantra. Thanks to all for their comments

Thanks Aubrey, I may buy a jump battery (or whatever a temporary battery is called)..but appreciate your post 🙂

Hi, I need to clean up corrosion on one of my 2022 Mk4 Fabia battery terminals (start/stop playing up so ruling out basic issues first). Does disconnecting the battery cause any issues like needing a radio code or having to "register??" the battery with the car itself? As an aside when changing a battery on this car does the new battery need registering? Some Google searches indicate it does. Darn nuisance if so but c'est la vie.
