Any additional jacking points?
I've used the points mentioned for front (axle stands) after getting the car jacked up via front sill jack points. For the rears I again jack at the rear sill point and do use that cross beam but at the very outer edges I place the stands, it seems strong enough no flex.

Amundsen Information
You may be able to find out in the settings on the unit, better still maybe a picture posted Could be better if you also posted in the ICE section, quite a few knowledgeable members re that subject will browse that section.👍

How to enter Climatronic calibration mode
Be interesting to find out if you can find a way to calibrate it. I have the same model with the identical climate fascia. Mine can sometimes set itself to the toasty hot setting when it should be putting out cold air. It's a rare occurrence but annoying when it happens, a simple turn off the ignition and restart fixes it. Annoying though if your belting down the motorway and can't stop easily to perform the procedure.🙄

My NC500
We've met some fab people on our travels around Scotland. Stayed in B&B's pubs even an hostel once at Applecross. The most weird was at Armadale, a Dutch lady on her own she was quite elderly and she ran this old farmhouse on her own with just help to do the beds each day. No TV no breakfast as such, basic stuff but with the charm of an old rickety farmhouse. Just help yourself to whatever she had in the larder/fridge, it was great but very different.

My NC500
It would have been our third time in as many years. Just about getting the gist of it now and had planned on staying at stops longer this time. We started off by doing one nighters, not enough time spent anywhere even though it was over 18 days. Second time we stopped off for two nights at places. This year it would have been longer at places, 4 nights on Skye, 3 nights Inverary, 3 nights Aberdeen to name a few. Up the East, down the West coast 18 nights total. Us 2017....

My NC500
Following my post in April I had to make a decision whether to carry on with our plans to tour Scotland, including the NC500 or just forget about it for this year. Well that's been made now, we cancelled everything. For the good of our health really I'm asthmatic and just don't want to risk it this year. Plans afoot to do it neaxt year now, everything crossed we can get there.

You'll do better asking in the Fabia section or even better the ICE section.

Android Auto question.
I've gone and bought a JVC head unit for my other car an MX-5. It functions should be Android auto Carplay etc. It works beautifully with Carplay but not AA. Had to hook up my wifes iPhone to test it but I own a virtually new android phone (Motorola MotoG7 power) but that just won't work with the head unit, perfect with Bluetooth for music just can't get any apps up and running. Now the big problem it seems after reading up is the latest updates Google have made to AA, some have said it's stopped working in the cars from around December last year. Changing USB leads may solve it, well I've tried 2 and still no go. So anyone with any suggestions apart from buy an iPhone? 🙄 I'd go that route but as said I've got a decent phone which should easily run AA wondering if anyone had tried a fix and it works with a similar set up?
