Possibly not the reason in your case but if the driver’s door isn’t properly shut the car won’t release the handbrake either manually or automatically until you’ve properly shut the door.

Yep the new stop/start now auto starts when it detects the vehicle in front moving away as well as when you release the footbrake in the DSG or depress the clutch in a manual. Took me a while to realise it was detecting the vehicle in front moving as I just assumed I'd released the foot brake slightly. 😁

With a DSG car the stop/start will sometimes kick in when the car is still rolling to a stop rather than when it is fully at a stop (which took me a while to get used to) Not sure how the stop/start works with a newer gen manual car compared to our Fabia which has it but is a 19 plate where the stop/start only kicks in once the car is stood and in neutral and the clutch released. They may still operate the same way I only question this as there are some improvements/changes to the stop/start technology with newer vehicles as for example on our Fabia once it's kicked in the power steering stops working compared to our Octy where the power steering is still operative when the stop/start has kicked in.

It would be interesting to know if the feature was solely a Skoda thing or if it was/is included in the VW, Audi, Seat, Cupra mobile apps too. If it is used by the other marques have they also pulled it?

Front diff oil at 2 years seems to only be a Skoda thing with the rest of the VAG group saying every 3 years. Just had mine done at the third year along with the brake fluid change. (Neither were done at the 2nd year service before I bought the car).

Not sure that's the issue here.... They are all national stations that I haven't had saved or been added as a favourite etc..... and that have never at any point had any logos to delete anyway. Also... The Infotainment system in the mk4 doesn't have the option to delete logos.... just the option to select either having one or not having one. I assumed that process was for the older units in previous models with the different update process and menu system.

Updated the Infotainment in my '22 vRS to .58 today......... Nothing much changed for the UK..... Biggest omissions IMO still are all the Hits Radio stations and all the Absolute Radio stations still completely missing.... All the small local stations in my area are included though (one of which is new and I'd never even heard of!!!!)

v1.31.58 of the database has now gone live..... https://www.phonostar.de/download/vw/MQB3_LGe_Europe_v1.31.58.zip

You yourself said the upcoming update was going to be v1.31.58 when you quoted the email you received. The file name for the new update that looks to have gone live since last week is..... "MQB3_LGe_Europe_v1.31.58.zip" which is the same name as the .56 files I used a few months ago and the same as has been linked to a few times in this and another thread in the mk4 section of the forum. Bearing in mind from what I know the Infotainment in the mk4 is made by LG this file name format would fit with that. https://www.phonostar.de/download/vw/MQB3_LGe_Europe_v1.31.58.zip

Yes Private Mode deactivates everything. Mine had some work done at the dealership last month and they activated Private Mode whilst it was in there. Once I collected it I needed to turn private mode off to get everything working again. I have heard that it’s what dealerships should do when your car is with them for service or repairs etc…..

v1.31.56 was released last November.... I've had it a while. The email you had sent you said the update that was meant to be released last week was v1.31.58. I've just checked the site again and it does now have the latest version available to download as v1.31.58 (12/03/2025) so the latest update is now live.

You can't sell legal tints and recoup some/all of your money though can you???? 😉
