I believe 215/60/16 is the original Skoda option, except for cars fitted with the variable floor. So not sure why you have the 125/70/18 unless yours is a 4x4?

@pinkpanther By coincidence, someone has just posted on one of the FB groups that they've done the same thing on a Sportline. Spare wheel 215/60/16 with boot kit 57A093860C. I believe you have to go for the 16" as it's a narrower rim & slightly smaller diameter that fits the boot kit.

@pinkpanther Have a read through this. Not a variable floor but does discuss what you want to do.

When I was looking to buy in June, I was told by a dealer that retro-fitting the variable boot floor would be difficult & expensive. Mentioning this on one of the Facebook groups, someone reckoned it was easily achieved for a couple of hundred quid. If the latter was the case I'd have thought the dealer would have been aware. Also when looking I created a thread here, asking if anyone had come up with a DIY solution. It received no replies.

Assuming this was a recent dealer purchase, I'd make a prompt enquiry about the possibility of changing to DSG. I'm biased because I last bought a manual in 1988 & really don't know why they still exist. But if you're struggling for comfort now, that's unlikely to improve.

From what I can tell, a fob with a button for a spring loaded key uses as CR2025 & one with full KESSY & the key inside uses CR2032. But best bet is to simply open it & take a look.

That's why I included what I paid. I had no intention of buying a new car, but the differential between the discounts on new & what dealers were asking for year old cars was minimal. Might be an idea to start each new journey with all the "aids" switched off for now, so you can concentrate solely on getting used to the rest. Having switched from a Polo myself, just getting used to the size of the thing takes a while! I still get caught out when trying to pull in after overtaking on a dual carriageway without indicating, & having to wrestle the steering wheel. 🙄

Yes, it was the configurator I was going by. Weirdly the configurotor for Karoq disappeared completely while I was searching. I thought that might mean the end of the line but it was while they chaged the wheels & removed Brilliant Silver as an option. If it helps, I paid £28.3k OTR for my unregistered SEL Edition with a spare wheel & variable boot floor. Although they did try to sell me £2k of indemnities for paint, wheels, tyres & other stuff.

@Philly112 Just to add that my SEL Edition with Procyon was built late March. When I started looking to buy in June, the web site was still listing Procyon wheels as the only standard option. So I'd be pretty confident that an April car will also have them.

I'm way out of touch with Apple products but check for a setting that automatically resumes playback on headphone connection, Maybe in sending a "play" command it also unmutes?

If that's aimed at me then thanks, but I've largely given up on the idea for the reasons stated.

@Philly112 You've misunderstood me. What I'm suggesting is a simple wheel swap with an SE, not downgrading your purchase. So you keep the SEL & the dealer gets a free upgrade of his SE. I'm kicking myself that I didn't think of this before signing off on my SEL.

Something you could try is ask the dealer if they have a new SE in stock with the 17" & see if they'd be willing to swap. I wish I'd done that. The Procyon look dreadful without the cheese graters IMO. In common with many modern wheel designs there's far too little metal, leaving the disc rotors & calipers far too visible. Additionally there's a channel around the rim for the cheese grater to fit into which is nigh impossible to clean of brake dust because it's so small. So I've left them on & have been looking for a set of 17"s.

I very much doubt there's anything that's been anywhere near a cow in a Karoq...

@Z-man Odd, try emailing [email protected], although they weren't much use when I had issues with the app.

There are wireless USB adapters sold to convert a wired system to wireless. But you'd need to research carefully before purchase.

Someone on one of the Facebook groups advertised a set recently. I'll see if I can find it. Edit Try this link.

Skoda specify 225 width tyres for all wheel sizes on the 4x4, with 5% profile difference between rims. So you'll be gaining just under 11mm in sidewall for each rim size you go down. Obviously the smaller the wheel, the more you gain. Worth noting the 19" rims are 8J, 18 & 17" 7J & 16" 6J. Some say switching the 19" to all-season tyres makes a big difference, but it's an expensive gamble if it doesn't produce the result you want. I have an SEL on 18" & considering going smaller. But first thing to do is speak to your insurer to understand the implications of changing wheels on your premium.

You could always just buy a set of different sizes. Amazon have them for around a fiver.

Just to update, whatever is on the mirror is inactive, so the SatNav can go there once I pluck up the courage to dismantle the glove box to access the fuses. 🙄 As for the switch to night mode, that was the sensitivity of the sensor. But if you change it once the threshold has already tripped into night mode, it doesn't switch back. So you have to change the sensitivity of the sensor, then power cycle via the ignition. 🙄

Now sorted. Prompted by Phonostar, I was hunting around the menu for a rescan. Couldn't find one but did go into the previously empty Manage Logo tab & there it was. So just selected it & all is well. I was expecting it to update automatically. So anyone with a new Karoq with Columbus, the correct download is this one & then you have to select the logo manually.

Neither recognised by the unit, so appears that the JND is correct. I've raised it with Phonostar & will report back.

@MartinB @Tell Thanks. I downloaded this one & it unpacked to correct format & went through the update process, although reported it as an OTA update. Sadly still no logo for LBC. MQB3_OI_JND_Europe_v1.31.58 If I can find the energy I report it to Phonostar as a Tiguan owner.

Apologies for not wading through all eight pages, but is there an update for a current Karoq with Columbus? I've no idea how that reconciles with "MIBs". I downloaded a MIB3+ from the first post & extracted it, but it bore no resemblance to the instructions. The extracted files were simply a collection of logos in .png format, whereas the instructions show "Data" & "Meta" folders. All I'm missing is a logo for LBC in the UK, which is odd as it was also absent from my 2015 Polo until I added it manually. But no manual option is available.
