On my Amundsen 2 you can use either SD port, currently I have the maps in port 2 and music in port 1.

Been asked several times on here, answer is always the same - this generation of infotainment systems doesn't support a CD player or changer. You need to rip your CDs and copy the MP3 files onto an SD card.

Not sure I trust AI when it comes to car parts...

After previous good experience with an Aygo I'm switching to Toyota after reading of (and helping tackle) the numerous software problems on Skoda's newer than my 2016 Octavia 3. VAG software outsourcing has been IMHO an unmitigated disaster which they have simply taken far too long to solve after making owners into effectively beta (or even alpha) testers - Skoda is a victim of that strategy.

If it is the original battery then 9 years life on a car with start/stop is pretty amazing. You SHOULD code a new battery so the Battery Management System knows straight away the capacity and can assume it's fully charged.

MacOS does add extra files - you need to use a MacOS app such as BlueHarvest or CleanEject to remove them.

Won't adding front parking sensors also require the PDC module to be changed from a 4 channel one to an 8 channel one?

Amundsen maps need to be on an SD card that had the correct ID so it is (or looks like) a genuine Skoda card (or it appears you can hack the Amundsen to accept maps any card) - I use a 32GB genuine card I got off eBay. Amundsen music can be on any SD card - I use a 256GB SD card.

The policy lapses with the death of the policy holder, so she cannot be covered by the policy as it has lapsed.

Sounds like a DPF or EGR problem, you need to do a fault code scan. Your 2016 1.6TDI predates the sort of TDI that uses Adblue.

I've had two generations of Bose Quiet Comfort for many more years than I can remember and been really pleased with their comfort and performance. The current Bluetooth capable ones make using them easier and have impressive range.

But that's not in the wheelbase - remember the A4 has a longitudinal engine but the Octavia transverse so overall length is not relevant.

Isn't the Octavia a longer wheelbase than the A4 - the rear legroom is MUCH greater on the Octavia?

That's usually the low pressure fuel pump priming the fuel system.

Dir the problem only start after swapping wheels and tyres?

Sounds like a wiring diagram would be useful to know where the G65 and air quality sensor connect to?

Hve you checked any fuse(s) that supply both G65 and air quality sensor?

As a Chartered Electrical Engineer I have to agree with @Graham Butcher about safety concerns, in every other area of electrical safety the system is designed so that there has to be two unrelated failures before it becomes unsafe. With plug-in solar using a UK standard 13A there is only a single point failure (in the inverter) for an unplugged 13A plug to become live - so it fails the basic electrical safety requirement. This could easily be corrected by requiring they be fitted with a plug having shielded pins such as an IEC type, and requiring the installation of a mating wall mounted socket. If I were still employed the terms of being a Chartered Engineer would require me to refuse any instruction to install one of these systems while fitted with a UK standard 13A plug.

It might be coding, or even dataset. I suggest we ask @pab567 to join the discussion.

Most people still turn up their noses at a Skoda so thefts of them are very rare - I've owned one since 2005 and parked in some areas of London known for a high incidence of car theft with no issues.

Sounds like the replacement unit is coded for a car without Canton, so you need to adjust the coding using a diagnostic tool such as OBDeleven or VCDS.

It's far more likely to be using PWM as that's used to dim all the other bulbs around the car.

Might be better to post in the Fabia forum instead of the Octavia forum?

Try the Kopacek bulbs - they are REALLY bright! (And don't cause any unrelated bulb failure warning like some cheap Chinese ones do...)
