This may be just a quirk of the system. On my 2018 SeL if I plug in my phone at the front in order to charge it it goes to CarPlay only. I don't use CarPlay. To just charge my phone I have to use the usb socket in the rear centre console or the boot. tom

When you decide what to do check out Asda. They are very competitive. They give you a choice of local tyre places. I went to a tyre fitter from the list who couldn't match the Asda price. I ordered with Asda and two days later the same fitter fitted the tyres, go figure! I saved around £120 on four tyres. tom

I have often used white vinegar to remove the wax left by a car wash. Never had a problem. tom

Thanks. Presumably the radar is only fitted if you have ACC. I don't, does that mean I don't have Emergency Braking? tom

I'm confused. Isn't the radar, when fitted, situated at the top of the windscreen where the rain sensor is situated? Surely emergency braking is initiated by the parking proximity sensors in the bumper. tom

....even a leaf over the sensor! tom

On snow/ice 2 WD on winter tyres beats 4 WD on 'normal' tyres every day. tom

Does it still happen when you press the Start button without starting the car i.e. press the start button without your foot on the brake? tom

Beware the effect on the speedometer. Legally they are not allowed to under read. A larger rolling diameter, 6.6% as previously stated, is a real risk of being illegal. There may also be a potential problem with insurance and type approval. I wouldn't give an insurance company any excuse to reject a claim. tom

Back in my Ford Anglia 105E days I bought a length of plastic tubing and used it to extend the washer tubing wrapped around the engine top hose to heat up the washer fluid. In the summer the windscreen got washed with warm water. tom

It's in the back of my mind that the original SD card has hidden files. A new SD card won't have these. Perhaps someone else can confirm. Do you have a choice of regions to download? Downloading more than you need may be the reason the files don't fit on the original card. Another thought, are you using a PC or a Mac? There are subtle differenes between them. If you get desperate you could chance one of the cards that are on Ebay. You would need to be careful about getting the right one. Some are used and some new e.g. https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/144755928698?hash=item21b4202e7a:g:EK0AAOSwZwFjPrCp&amdata=enc%3AAQAHAAAA8P7WwiSvplrRyM8rYsswgzhDImkOXPLDFbnz1Gt1gcVZpQPjXQCs1jrxcoPPBW63KN%2FokxX0UDTrc%2F8vGZj%2BfRrpmpTaAhMQV6XsB0iPRcdG6v2%2FTiazAo7CRCPu81mHOICJYEfF3Yk3NAywUbRgS%2FWg%2F%2Ft4zafeD9Z9kc9Vc2sW83TVutkHKUGCaitelqW2rx695j6LHMyyhBSXLt28zmFWiOSmhG%2Bo8ik4Z8UexMs9rU4ieXngO4zX8EUgkbLR96o3NywjCv%2FjmuXuNCYv9YDOjBSNzrzH2UhCZ3NrFYfR7qngGwIiwC0gL0pClR5nRA%3D%3D|tkp%3ABk9SR-7r45ygYQ tom

Why not go to the dealer and ask what system you have, MIB 2 or 3 and how to update it? tom

...just ugly. tom

It will all depend whether the Kodiak curvature is the same as the Karoq's. I also wondered whether, ignoring the retracting mechanism, the protector on its own would work just glued in place. tom

There were problems in the past with something similar on Kodiaks. You can buy the bits both the protector and the mechanism. https://www.skoda-parts.com/spare-part/565831176-edge-protector-for-front-right-door-skoda-35496.html tom

Do the inserts make cleaning the wheels any easier? tom

The Yeti bump strips may not work. They may not protect the edge of the door. Just a thought. https://www.theskodashop.co.uk/products/skoda-door-strips-outer-yeti-14-to-5l0071329a tom

It's an "Offer to treat" not a contract. tom

...aah "handbrake turns". Takes me back to my Ford Anglia days, 55 years ago. I had converted the handbrake to a "flyoff" (modified so that the button was only used to lock the handbrake on. The rest of the time not using the button meant that you just pull to lock the wheels and letting go it releases. When stopped, with the handbrake on, pulling it releases it.). Those were the days. tom

I mainly do short journeys, 2-3 miles, the stop/start hardly ever activates. The only time it happens is when I do the occasional longer journey. tom

Do a search "Add paddles" (without the quotes) on all forums in Briskoda (not just this Karoq forum). It will give you some idea as to the sort of problems you may encounter. I imagine the best result would be a swap with a paddle equipped steering wheel from another Karoq. On my 1.5 dsg I only use the paddles when I need a quick overtake. Dropping two gears is quicker than using the kick down especially when driving in Eco mode. A slightly longer pull on the Up paddle then gets me back to Eco. good luck tom

The Yeti rubber mats fit the Karoq. Just have to make one hole to fit over a carpet button on the drivers side. All the other carpets are OK. If your Karoq has the sliding boot hooks I would be tempted to "liberate" two from the Yeti to get extra in the Karoq. tom

Nobody, when discussing mpg, ever states whether they are running with aircon on or off. My aircon is permanently on summer and winter. tom

Happened to my wife away from home. I explained over the telephone how to get in and start the car. If she can do it, anyone can. tom

Be sure you get your terminology correct. Sunroofs do not have drain plugs, if they did they wouldn't drain. It's the sunroof drains that get blocked. Best not confuse the service reception people unnecessarily. tom
