That implies a change to the Leuchte related adaptation channels not a coding change.

I've just checked and my MIB2 Amundsen 5Q0 035 874 A definitely does NOT have the Skoda Connect option, so I for one cannot use this alternative.

Yes, the connection to the USB sockets is a piggyback onto the connections to the 12V socket.

I'm pretty certain that the MIB2 Standard (Amundsen) in my 2016 Octavia III doesn't have the Skoda Connect option either. Is this actually a MIB2.5 Standard alternative, and not applicable to a MIB2 Standard?

Rear parking sensors is standard, automatic parking with 12 sensors (fromt, rear and sides) was an option on most models.

Did you get the correct rear wheel speed sensor, there are two types - cars with the park pilot require a different part.

None of the OEM systems for the Octavia 3 have wireless CarPlay, however you can get adapters such a CarPlay2Air that allow wireless CarPlay for MIB2 units.

Buy a genuine card off eBay or similar auction site, where they are available for around 1/10th of the cost of buying from Skoda.

+1 definitely need to know the fault codes. Have you had a chip tune? Some tuners (incorrectly) disble some of the fault code detection firmware in the ECU.

The clutch is hydraulically operated, so sounds more like something on the pedal to me?

Strange, on both the Octavia 3s I've owned it shows tyre sizes as well as pressures?

I hope you mean 2,000 not 20,000?

Please explain what you mean by 'scratchy'? When going between 1st and reverse you many need to allow a short time for the reverse layshaft in the gearbox to slow/stop.

Also worth reading the label inside the fuel filler flap as that lists the OE tyre sizes.

But which is the cause and which the effect? It has been reported, not widely, that some data hidden in the UN reports suggest that temperature started to increase before detectable changes in CO2 levels? Is this 'deniers' finding 'evidence' or just poor analysis by the UN or something else?

Pre-industrial levels of CO2 were around 280ppm and current measurements put the CO2 level at around 420ppm, which is far below the peak during the Ordovician period 500 million years ago of 3000-9000ppm. Earth survived those amazingly high levels of CO2 without burning up, albeit with some well documented mass extinctions (cause still open to debate) so it is difficult to understand that levels around 10% or less will be so destructive to Earth - humanity maybe but not Earth.

Let's hope the increasing sales will lead to decreasing prices to make EVs more affordable (cash, credit or PCP etc.) for more buyers in the UK. It seems without an unlikely policy change we are going to be forced into buying EVs by 2035 (hybrids by 2030) so unless EV prices drop substantially we'll see increasing numbers of 'old smokers' on the roads as those who can't afford an EV but need personal mobility (due to lack of public transport, disability, etc.) have to keep their existing ICE vehicles running.

Don't rely 100% on the accuracy of the fault code description - follow what isn't working. I would check the output test options on the HVAC module, these can 'exercise' all the flaps. SOmetimes the output test is sequential (i.e. one flap after the other) and sometimes you can choose which flap to operate. Run the test and listen - you can hear the motors move if they are OK.

There are servo motors that control the positioning of the temperature flaps on each side, seems like the one on the passenger side is (like the fault code says) jammed.

I've recently started getting nearly 100 spam emails every day to my hotmail account, they all go into the Junk folder. But this is the problem since the web version of hotmail only runs the Rules I have defined on Inbox! ... and I'm loathe to allow the spam into my Inbox. I can't just use the Mac Mail app as I also use 2 windows PCs during the day, so I need a solution that works on the web version of hotmail - any/all suggestions welcome.

According to Quote Investigator the original source is

I have the ACC set to the second distance setting, when on sections of the M4 with the chevron"keep your distance" markers it follows at that distance, and when a passenger times the gap its following the "2 second rule". I think we've all become so used to following too close that when we use ACC we think it's leaving too big a gap.

Reboots don't cause any harm to the module - the only harm done is to the owners patience and Skoda's reputation.
