Only if you change the Leuchte channel settings for the sidelight(s).

No comms with ECM means no power, ground or CAN connections to ECM or failed ECM - best to get a wiring digram from ERWIN and trace fuses and wiring.

... and give it an "Italian Tune" i.e. drive it like you stole it!

Any chance you could post a picture of the shifter?

DSG normally have 3 modes - Drive, Eco and Sport.

The measurements fit with the tyre calculator, the 4" space above the emergency spare to the top of the toolkit does suggest that it's worth a try with a full size wheel/tyre. Maybe temporarily swap the space saver with one of your own wheels so you can try it before spending the cash?

If there's no 4G coverage where you happen to be driving it will revert back to 3G, but if there's no 3G it will revert back to 2G data - which even in its "fastest" form of EDGE is still hundreds or thousands of times slower than 4G.

See attached comparison from tyresize.com Diameter of the 19" is 16mm (0.6") more, but most significantly the width is 110mm (4.4") more - most likely too deep to fit in the spare wheel well.

Two things are important about whether a spare will fit: 1) The outside diameter of the tyre when inflated - an emergency spare should be within a few % of a normal tyre, so this is less likely to be a problem. 2) The width of the tyre - normally an emergency spare is much narrower than a full size tyre, so would likely cause the boot floor not to fit. Wheel diameter is less important - a 19" with an ultra low profile tyre can have the same overall diameter as an 18" with a low profile tyre...

LEDs take less current so are higher resistance not lower resistance.

For me the key thing is to keep top grade farming land for farming and only site solar on land that is either unsuitable for farming or has yields that are so low it's unproductive. For me an example of getting it wrong is the proposed Lime Down solar park in Wiltshire which would be largely place on productive farming land.

If you have Canton the word Canton will be on the speaker grilles 👍

None of the OE infotainment systems for the Octavia 3 support wireless CarPlay, you have to use a USB to wireless adapter once wired CarPlay is working. Do you have Canton? If you do then as well as the glovebox unit, screen and USB socket you'll have to replace the Canton amp. @pab567is the guru for part numbers.

So what is BMW's logic in keeping MINI production at Oxford? You can't get much further from a port! And the Government grant they were offered is tiny in comparison to the real cost.

What model Skoda do you have, and what model year is it?

Are you using a full USB cable with data connections as well as power connections? Many cheaper USB cables are power only which won't work. I don't use Android but I understand that you have to enable it on the phone, have you done this?

On the Octavia 3 SmartLink is wired only, have you tried connecting your phone to the USB socket under the heater controls?

Only if the app can read/write the J367 module which is a subsystem of the J533 CAN Gateway at address 19.

I have stop/start so it may be different to yours - when stop/start is active the revs drop to 750rpm as the DSG clutches are disengaged, but when stop/start is not active the revs stay around 1000rpm.

Function is hidden with no notification, it just happens. When stopped on a slope I just press the brake and after a few seconds hill hold engages, then when I lift off the brake I have a few seconds to get onto the accelerator. That's how it works on my 1.8TSI Octavia 3 with DQ200 DSG.

Unusual to get a factory fitted AGM battery, Skoda normally save a few pennies and fit an EFB battery - you lucked out!

IIRC 04xx versions require different hardware or some "tricks", maybe @pab567 can confirm/correct me?

What model year is your Octavia? SmartLink requires a MIB2 or later infotainment system which was fitted from May 2015 production onwards, and then requires a SwP code to enable it.

Not damage, but to avoid confusing the battery management system.
