MY21 Karoqs don't have a rechargeable torch in the boot anymore:( But if you move fast you can buy one from ALDI for £5.99! See https://www.aldi.co.uk/lightway-rechargeable-torch/p/801912398188200 I always like to keep a torch in my car, and this little one is fine for emergencies and recharges from a USB socket (with the appropriate adapter) or 12v adapter.

See this thread for a discussion over the legality of adding unapproved LED bulbs to the exterior of a car: As they are not road-legal (acknowledged by reputable traders such as powerbulbs) you fit them at your own risk.

I updated my factory order in July (to add the Area View cameras) but didn't bother with the extra USB-C as the price seemed excessive and I'm not planning to add a dashcam. I hope I don't regret that decision in years to come!

Only provided if you thought ahead and selected it from the option list in the UK!

And I've also seen a thread on a VW forum from someone with a VW Arteon with the same problem. There it was suggested that the satnav only recognised a postcode once it had been near it! As the MIB3 satnavs download updates over the air when needed, I wonder if that means once you get near the destination it updates its local maps, and then has full postcode data for that area? And if you leave it long enough, will it update the whole of the UK maps to solve the problem? Thread at https://www.volkswagenforum.co.uk/showthread.php?t=37021&p=129803#post129803 Dealers seem at a loss to solve the problem, but hopefully the November map update will help (assuming all the VAG software engineers haven't been diverted to working on the iD3/iD4/Enyaq!

This seems to be a software fault in the new MIB3 satnavs. There's a discussion about it in the Kamiq forum at

They seem to really want you to buy the USB-C socket on the internal mirror!

Frome the GEM website: "Not only is it an offence to supply car parts that purport to comply with certain regulations, yet do not, but also fitting and using them on the road is not permitted. However, it is possible that a car can pass an MoT Test with an LED conversion bulb fitted to an exterior lamp; this is because the MoT Test, generally, does not enforce Type Approval laws. Yet, you still risk being stopped by a police officer and prosecuted for driving an unroadworthy vehicle with them installed, as well as invalidating your insurance cover. "New bulbs are one of the few aftermarket replacement parts that have to comply with compulsory technical standards. The UK’s Road Traffic Act (1988) cites that it is an offence to supply, fit or use vehicle parts that do not comply with the required Construction and Use stipulations. Selling an LED conversion bulb might incite the driver to commit the offence of driving an unroadworthy vehicle, leading to a risk of a prosecution under Road Vehicles Construction and Use Regulations (1986) and the Road Vehicle Lighting Regulations (1989). Not even UK companies that specialise in automotive lighting and retail LED bulbs could tell GEM why they might not be breaking these regulations." If you modify your vehicle in a way that makes it unroadworthy, then your insurance will be invalidated.
