hey john you youtube links didnt come thru but i have tried everything and on the 2025 superb nothing works even the dealer tried everything and they couldnt figure it out. skoda australia were useless and provided no help what so ever.

well looks like skoda only put that in the lower cost models not the top end models! i got the mrs a$60k karoq sportline 4x4 and it works but my $75k superb doesnt - figure that one out!

hey fasto - sure does!!! i tackled skoda australia about it and their response was effectively - bugger off, it is what it is! they clearly dont care about client safety. apparently the issue is present on several VW group vehicles not just the superb. im going to take it further and speak to a few gov agencies for their take and if they will support my argument.

unfortunately i do a bit of country (100km p/h) travelling and make quite a few calls in the car during the day and many times it goes to voice mail and i dont want to leave a message so thats why its a PITA and a safety concern.

i have asked skoda australia to escalate the isue. if i get nowhere with them them i will speak to our consumer affairs, out dept of transport and ANCAP.

hi john its great to see that im not an idiot! i tried everything you did and same result! Also another thing i learnt about the superb and the phone is if you have the drivers door open you cant answer calls!!!! - how stupid is that!!!!! im amazed that my wife $60K karoq sportline doesn't have this issue but my $75K superb does. i contacted skoda australia for support on this issue as its a safety issue (imaging doing 100km down the freeway and having to take your eyes off the road to find the hung up button on the bloody screen!!!) and they basically said it is what it is so bugger off and were highly dismissive about it, pretty **** poor effort if you ask me. im going to take it further with them and speak to our DOT and consumer affairs citing safety concerns hoping that will be a rocket up their praverbial. but that all said im goning to try a few other things to see if i can get it to work.

hey whipper, you would think so but it doesnt. have to setup auto hold guys thanks for your help on this one, i managed to find the auto hold function in the setup - no thanks to the dealer and skoda!

hey evo this model does shave the DSG. To mine and the dealers surprise there is no autohold option in the infotainment. The doco from skoda is scant at best and skoda AU's response has been far from useful other than a "thats the nature of the beast tough luck" type of response. I purchased a karoq sportline for the wife and it does not have this rollback issue.

hi john that was mine and the dealers first thought only to find that the auto hold option is not available. its very frustrating because im an 'assertive' driver and sometimes i need/want to sink the boot and i dont want to stuff the trans up. i send an email to skoda australia only to be met with a dismissive response along the lines of tough luck thats the nature of the beast without even addressing the issue.

hi all recently purchased a superb 2025 sportline wagon. General ok car but when i use the paddle shifts there is no automatic indication on the instrument cluster of the gear im in unless i fart around and change the instrument cluster view. anyone else have this issue?

hi all i recently purchased a superb 2025 sportline. Generally a Nice car but one thing i cant do is hang calls up via the thumb wheel on the steering wheel. i can answer the call, i can hang a call up when im calling and its ringing but once the call is in progress i cant hand it up voa the thumb wheel, have to use the onscreen button on the infotainment screen. I have turned android auto off and no difference. Real PITA if you ask me as i have to take my eyes of the road to hang up a call! Anyone else have this issue?

Hello all I recently purchased a superb 2025 sporrline wagon. Generally the car is great but it has an annoying habit of rolling back a few inches when starting from even the smallest incline. I took it to the dealer to check it out and i got a superb sportline sedan as a loan car and it did the same thing. has anyone else experienced this? TIA
