Ah OK. Makes a lot of sense. Thanks

Please can you share the part numbers you’ve ordered. Thanks.

This should help…

I believe an iPad can be used for CarPlay, using USB cable connection. I haven’t tried it but did read about it online a week or two back. If it works for an iPad, I wouldn’t be surprised if Android Auto works with tablets too.

Currently traveling hence Km not miles. And in case anyone is concerned, I got my passenger to take the photo.

Totally agree. Despite (or because of) working in IT since the late ‘80s I wouldn’t attempt a DIY update to my car. For me, it’s a simple risk analysis - if I screw it up then the consequences are catastrophic! Whilst I would not, others may choose to take the risk…

You guys are getting me worried! To date the PDC on my 2020 SEL 1st Ed has been 100% reliable and accurate. I feel the need to avoid complacency!!!

Side vents I leave aiming at the side windows to ensure they don’t steam up. Central vents I tweak according to heating or cooling requirements. Yes, can get a cold arm from time to time but a nudge to redirect the flow a little and it’s fine. I’ve not had an issue with the centre vents always being cold.

This thread might shed some light… Im not sure if the e-Tec MHEV has a reduced boot space or not; hopefully someone on here can help with that.

In recent years the only time I have experienced out of date data was being told a main road was closed for three days after it had reopened - and that was google maps. I always turn off camera info anyway, that’s what speed limit signs are for and I believe speed cameras are a a). an excuse to break the law between them and b). a danger when drivers brake hard to get down to the limit before a camera. Anyway, none of this helps the OP fix his problem…

In your opinion. In mine, not so. Good job we’re all different else life would be boring… I prefer the routing algorithm and spoken directions in the built in system, then it’s Apple Maps, and a distant third Waze; can’t abide Google Maps these days. A friend uses the TomTom app and rates it highly - might give that a go.

Thanks for the update @balduranbg; really hope Śkoda can get it sorted for you.

Yep, I get that. Perhaps I should have been more explicit in my earlier reply. My suspicion is/was that without a subscription for online routing and mapping it can’t access stuff outside of your local area; and that the local data was cached in the system during the early life of the car. Of course, I could be completely wrong! What I do know is that with a subscription I can navigate to a side street in a tiny village in Northern Italy.

Welcome to the forums @Tipperarypaul. For the phone I always use voice control to initiate a call; in my case CarPlay (Siri), and AndroidAuto I am sure will have very similar functionality. Ending a call I either tap the red 'end call' on the Infotainment screen or simply let the other person hang up. Well done finding the windows setting. The menus are very deep and it can take a while to work through them all.

Yeah, unfortunately my car is an early build Mk4 - and it doesn’t support lock/unlock with the app ☹️ I’ll have to try putting one of the keys in the boot and see what happens… Worst case, I’ll disable KESSY. Thank you @GrumpyOldGit for highlighting the potential issue.

Do you have the subscription for online routing and map updates?

Hmmm... A scary moment indeed, but I thought it wasn't supposed to do that. So pleased you managed to get it unlocked to continue your trip (albeit with reduced funds which were no doubt much needed for a wee dram, or three).

That's not something I have noticed but it does make sense that if the steering wheel doesn't 'see' any inputs the system thinks your not steering the car. Thanks.

The message comes from the lane assist which ACC relies on. Usually occurs when drifting off centre of the lane. If yours is worse then maybe it’s in need of calibration.

In mine (1.5TSI), the shift from first to second is usually not as smooth as changing up to the higher gears, but sometimes it is absolutely fine! It isn't as bad as yours sounds to be and I have never felt the need to speak to the dealer about it. As the mileage has increased it has improved notably but still there at 48k miles - the times it is smoother are when the engine/transmission are fully warmed up and a relatively leisurely gear change. On and off over my 45+ years of motoring I have noticed the same thing in cars including my late 70s Triumph Dolomite, 80s Mini, Ford Escort & Vauxhall Astra and 14 plate Superb. But who knows! The 'box on my Dolomite was rebuilt and a roller bearing replaced and linkages adjusted several times, all to no avail. Because of this I have assumed there is something in my driving style - perhaps my timing of clutch & gear shift actions in the lower gears which are usually a quicker shift than those to higher gears, especially around town. Lots of me blathering on, and I'm not sure it's much help... 🙄

No, not any more. I used to in my younger days but when I got a girlfriend, now wife, there were too many distractions 😉

Last month I replaced all four tyres on mine, 46k miles from a set of Michelin Primacy 4. The fronts slightly more worn than the rears. They were down to about 3.5mm tread left but decided to replace all as I had an unrepairable puncture near the sidewall in the right rear and with winter approaching thought a new set of boots was worth it.

I have only two keys, so no idea if the third will be needed. Sorry to say I am out of ideas now 🙄Hope you can get it sorted.

Welcome to the forums. I'm not familiar with the FL versions but from what you describe things don't sound quite right. Perhaps force a restart of the infotainment system (typically hold the on/off button for 10 seconds or so with the ignition on). My only other thought is were you able to create & login as the main user of the car? If not, then the dealer will probably need to assist in verifying your ownership and authenticating via the Škoda servers. Hope you can get it sorted soon...

From the tinkering with these that I have done... Driving dynamics - very little, but driving the same road with and without this in 'Sport' there is a hint that the ride is firmer. It's so slight I might be 'wanting to feel it' rather than actually feeling it. Presumably if the car had DCC (Dynamic Chassis Control) then there would be a noticeable difference. Mine doesn't have DCC so I wonder why this setting is there, hence looking for any change. Gut feel is tyre pressures make a bigger difference. Drive - the throttle response is slower in ECO than in Normal. Sport makes it sharper. Having used ECO for a while I think Normal is a more drivable setting, and gives magically better fuel economy on long motorway trips with a hefty load in the back. Steering - in Sport it is heavier and I think more responsive to inputs. I disliked it so use Normal. ACC - after slowing car behind traffic, the acceleration is less severe in ECO AirCon - dunno... Can't remember the rest! When I first got the car I spent ages fiddling till I either found a setting I liked or got bored trying it.
