Probably not, my L&K has an Amundsen (plus Canton) and AFAIK Columbus was still an option on L&K models.

I'm not suggesting bypassing a fuse??? - just connecting the input of a fuse to a switched feed not an unswitched feed. BTW any lead that carries power is NOT CANbus, CANbus is data signals only.

Need to know a lot more: - it appears you have a 2019 Octavia (is this correct?) - what model of infotainment unit was fitted? Swing, Amundsen, Columbus, ... - do you have Canton? - what vehicle did the unit you have fitted come from (make, model and year)? - what model of infotainment unit is it?

MIB2 High = Columbus MIB2 Standard = Amundsen

No, remove the fuse for the 12V sockets and connect the output wire from the piggyback fuse (with its input connection connected to the input side of the switched fuse, so they are independently fused) to the output pin of the place where the 12V fuse was.

I'm 99% certain there ARE ignition switched fuses, even with KESSY.

Over the years on here I reckon I've seen equal numbers of owners wanting the sockets to be ignition switched or always live! Shame that Skoda don't offer it as an owner configurable choice via the infotainment system. However, it can be achieved by remvoing the fuse that powers the 12V sockets and replacing it with a piggyback fuse into an ignition switched slot - such as the rear wiper?

If the problem is estimated range then that's normal - the estimated range is based on about the last 20 miles of driving so if you mostly drive i towne then go on an open road the range will go up and vice versa. Most extreme example I've seen is driving 100 motorway miles on the weekend after a week urban commuting and seeing the estimated range larger after doing 100 miles than it was!

VIN number isn't a code scan...

That's not giving an example of 30mph being a problem, that's drivers exceeding 30mph being a problem.

Not that I've been able to find.

... and motorway and trunk road Service Areas could do with better signposting to the EV charging area(s).

I'm taking a short winter break on Madeira next month and have been looking at car rental costs - and will end up renting a petrol car because the costs of renting an EV are nearly twice as much. Yes I know there's fuel costs as well, but on a small island like Madeira in only a week you can't do many miles so fuel costs won't make up the difference. The headline cost of renting an EV needs to be much closer to the cost of renting a petrol/diesel car for private individuals to stop scrolling and click on the EV.

There are 3 positions of the interior light switch; on, off and on with open door - have you tried all 3 positions?

The battery management system only charges the battery to around 80%, to allow headroom for the micro-regenerative braking system to put charge into the battery when coasting or braking.

Haldex connects only to the rear wheels, so it's extremely unlikely to be anything to do with the Haldex IMHO. Sounds most like a front wheel bearing to me?

Is the wiring between J519 and the HRW OK?

Palindromic number

It's an H15 bulb you need, there are several options for brighter ones from e.g Osram, Philips, etc.

If the old battery was really knackered then coding will make an immediate difference, but if the SoC wasn't too poor then the system will over time learn the characteristics of the new battery.

No, the heating element is not polarity sensitive.

You sure about that? I've owned two Octavia Mk3's both with ACC - one with the lowline 20 camera and one with the 5F highline camera.

Recent posts on the Octavia 4 forum suggest that not all Skoda dealers have the equipment to properly adjust matrix lights, maybe this applies not only to Skoda/VAG dealers but more widely?

For me the worst offenders are vehicles with headlights almost at head height for car drivers, so I'm referring to 4x4s, SUVs, vans, etc. As they get closer to you when oncoming it becomes really difficult to see past them, especially if they are not properly setup.
