Your hardware is H11 standard, mine sadly is H10. That must be the difference, mine was built in June 2025

Jay, To be honest, I can’t recommend one from the other. You’re correct in that it’s an AI (I asked to different models and both said the same thing in a slightly different manner). I have in the past had uses of VCDS, that did the very limited stuff easily (wind back to pads for brake pad changes and code for a new battery, day light changes) but that’s just the simple stuff. It might be that ODB 3 is more than you need. I can’t advise either way to be honest.

OK, I would never tell you what to spend your hard earned on. The info I added would I’d have thought might have pointed to the ODB11 3. However, you didn’t see that 👍

Rifleman, That’s very interesting. To be honest whilst I used ACC for the Mway journeys, I didn’t monitor the screen enough to see of this happened to me. No Mway journeys planned foe at least this month. I’ll try torember the next time ‘I hit the M4’ Thank for the very informative post 👍

My info, whist not disagreeing with yous has more info: Carista OBD2: Carista is fully compatible with the OBDLink MX+ hardware. It offers basic code clearing and simple, menu-driven customizations ("customizations" or adaptations). Note: Because your Superb is a late 2025 model, Carista's beta testers network is actively updating compatibility for Mk4 platform elements. [1, 2] The "Gold Standard" Alternative – OBDeleven 3: If your main goal is advanced custom coding, the OBDLink MX+ will face limitations on a 2025 Skoda due to VW's factory SFD2 firewall restrictions. The OBDeleven NextGen device is an officially licensed Volkswagen Group partner that has built-in tokens to automatically unlock SFD protections, making it the preferred tool for modifications and "One-Click Apps" on a June 2025 vehicle. It is AI generated, however it not been asked to make a decision other than show me the best options available today

Well, a nice dry trip both ways. Sadly no change on my screen still only showed One lane on both the m4 and M5 outbound. The return journey was via the A40 and M4 both only showed One lane. My Superb is a June 2025 build and on the older hardware/software. This must be the issue 🤷‍♂️

Allegedly there are only 2 brands authorised by VW group for newer vehicles. There are VCDS OBD11 3 As it’s only their new devices that can change more than the basic settings on cars 2 years old and newer (generalisation here of course ) If your car is new is with the latest software version, you’ll need to cough up the bucks. I’ have been looking at these off and on for 19 months (before I bought the Superb). Still haven’t made the decision (I’m not likely to be fit enough to do stuff myself for a few months yet tbo)

I’m off to Hereford tomorrow afternoon via M4 and M5. Hopefully I’ll get the same sort of result 🤞

My mates mid sized Volvo phev , has the same issues. We drove from East Bristol to Weston Super Mare to see a sick buddy. The car showed about 5 on the way down but only 2 onl the way back

Make your wife the user on 2 keys, you use the 2nd and will have all her privileges 🤞

Possibly a blockage in one of the smaller pipes. Sadly if a couple of longer runs don’t resolve it you may need someone who is an expert in DPF’s most garages and dealerships don’t really have a clue Take a look here, he is good https://youtube.com/@orileysautos?si=yawAXYQ-RRBloGeD Don;t get the idea a quick delete will resolve it. Most likely it won’t

Dave, does some helpful videos on Skoda’s Here is the Superb version, sadly a hybrid buy most thing are the same👍 https://youtu.be/66_FIjo3tUE?si=UJQpPxm4qt8AFkRG

If you’re switching off the motor and the fan still runs for a few minutes, that shows two (possible ) issues. The first and most normal is your turbo is very hot and needs cooling down - just run at tick over for a couple of minutes to safely cool it down. The other and more problematic issue is you’ve switch off when a DPF regen is in progress. This causes 2 (or more?) issues. One the added diesel injected waters down your engine oil. Not by much but if this is happening every day then it will increase over time. The 2nd and one you will notice. On restarting the engine will start a regen again - running at 1,00 rpm instead of about 800 rpm is a good sign. You need to run a longer distance 40km or so on a fast road every 7/10 days this should (provided you DPF is in need of work) resolve your problems. I had this engine in my last Passat Estate, ran it for about 138,000kms before trading it to my Superb. As my work was about 35km on the motorway both ways never had an issue

Sadly, a typo on my behalf. They should work for ACC. As full permissions are required for the camera data to be used 👍
