TBH also may make sense to look at rear view camera AND hooking up heated seats ( fitted ) at the same time but that would be ramping up my work ? I know in past have been resident experts like Techie but not sure if anyone would be prepared to do the work for me which I would consider..... much rather someone known than some non Skoda "specialist" who will chuck on another basic relay like I've already got. I know I can get dedicated kit wiring for only £100+ ish Petrol vrs... I'd only be towing 400kg car on some lightweight smart style trailer ..... not a caravan

I have a fixed flange (tow-trust) towbar plus a PCT automotive relay that is nearly new from ebay. I was going to have a brand new westfalia and dedicated but they were out of stock, may revisit later if I can get hold of the detachable I want but if the lectrics are done correctly then these can remain as the bar is just a bar? I can remove the tow bit temporarily as it has two bolts.... My thoughts were to ditch the relay I got with it ( its about a £30 model) and have a dedicated fitted - but contacted one place locally don't seem keen to reply to me to confirm. I *could* attempt the electrics, I have even done cruise control back when I had a Fabia ( and it worked from new until I sold the car a few ago so I can't be that bad right?) But I'm cold feet about the ripping into my electrics on my 2014 and prefer the dedicated but I'm a little discouraged by the scale of this work (despite having done the cruise on fabia when it was still in year 1 ! That seemed like madness but got there in the end in fairness would have rather paid to just have it done and avoid the stress). By the way I already checked out I'm a non towbar prep car sadly. I won't be using the towbar that much tbh.....but this is like my main car, don't want ****ty electrics and a job done right is something you won't worry again about. Anyone do electrics here ? If I was getting the kit to attempt looks like could use, https://www.pfjones.co.uk/skoda-octavia-hatch-06-2014-onwards-7-pin-pf-jones-dedicated-wiring-kit.html

Releasing rear seat backs remote cable: This design is ridiculous, for simply removing seats from the car ! Seems to have plastics in the way then leading to the remote release in the back. After considerable hassle to at least get the seats free, how to free up this stupid cable ?? Remote release from boot is kind of handy I suppose, if you ever use, vastly outweighing the benefit is hassle of removing the cable / seat. Do I have to remove not just the plastics but also the material in the back or something ??
