Engine / Ignition Switch-Off Irritations
I'm a fairly satisfied owner with 3 VAG vehicles - in the Skoda's, the Superb and Karoq I'm looking to alter the way the radio stays on after 'engine off', it might seem a trivial gripe but I find it quite distracting (I know I could simply press the off button, but then I have to press it again to switch on) as I gather up and ready myself for exiting - I want the radio to go 'off' when I switch off the engine - I've had a good snoop around the options but it doesn't seem possible - have I missed something.....? If only I could swap my radio 'on' gripe for the other 'engine off' irritation, the lack of cabin illumination, that is, having the interior lights come 'on' when I switch off the engine - I know this one is not possible and it's been discussed on here a number of times in the past. My elderly VW Golf behaves logically, as it should, engine off = Cabin lights 'on' and Radio 'off'.......... Further, does anyone know what the little '2' in a circle symbol, next to the mobile battery charge indicator means.....?

Tonneau cover
I'm not surprised they have an excuse for excluding it - however, it could be argued it's not trim, it's a mechanical part - would the drivers seat adjustment be excluded in the same way.........?

Front sequential side turns
I think you need to rewrite that question in a way we can understand.......?

Increasing the visibility of the main beam warning light
On my 2021 Superb I leave the system to its own devices and it automatically switches the main beam off once it detects street lighting........

Heater windcreen - how do I tell if it is an original screen
Ah…..scrub that…..I’ve got my wires crossed, so to speak…..just checked our vehicles, the Superb with heated screen and the Karoq without both have the AS1 code…….sorry.

Heater windcreen - how do I tell if it is an original screen
I’m fairly sure the AS1 code relates to a heated screen - when you say you can’t tell if it’s working, this time of year brings a good chance of frost, at the very least, condensation - my wireless screen works very quickly on both frost and condensation……….

Pothole!
What I intended to write above.......but you can't delete or edit after just a few minutes......... ........On a 2 wheel drive Karoq I'd prefer the spacesaver to be on the rear, it can't be doing the differential any good on the front - on the 4 wheel drive I'm not sure you can fit a single wheel with a smaller circumference....?

Rear Child Locks
For the first time since new (15 months) I had a couple of passengers in the back yesterday - I was surprised to fine the rear offside door child lock was 'on' and despite my efforts to reset it I can't, everytime the inside handle is used the child lock comes on - anyone come across this problem before? It might be that I'm not turning the 'off on' mechanical actuator far enough but I don't want to force it......?
