Are there any tips on e.g. The battery should/shouldn't be disconnected before swapping a radio? What happens when the power comes back on, if it was off (e.g. the windows forget their movement range or something)? Will VCDS be needed? Thanks very much

They don't include a picture of the back of the unit for that model, but this one is pretty much identical. I'm hoping that most stuff just plugs in, and that I don't need to faff around finding the wires from the steering switches

Has anyone got any hints on fitting a non-Skoda replacement for a Bolero in a Skoda 2 FL (2010)? I've bought a https://audiotechdirect.com/pba-sk7826s-android-8-after-market-radio-for-skoda-octavia/ which the seller said would connect without any adapters. It comes with a lead with a bunch of tails which may be needed to get the steering wheel switches working; I hope it isn't. I hope there's no need for coding too. Thanks

I hope my Bolero is just about to be available. Skoda octavia 2 facelift (2010). Has had its firmware updated by Skoda so it reads SD cards fairly quickly. But... is it the stereo itself or one of the connections? I've just bought a https://audiotechdirect.com/pba-sk7826s-android-8-after-market-radio-for-skoda-octavia/ Not sure how easy it will be to fit with all its gubbins.

Yeah that's not an image that's going away quickly

the graph is really useful - thanks. I'd like to see how other EU countries did in comparison over the same time too.

It looked a bit like Hamilton was taking it safe in the lap 1 madness, backing off and losing places near the first corner too.

i can log in with my mobile OK to the router. we've decided to replace the pc with a refurbished pc from Amazon with more ram and ssd for £254, which should be quicker and more future-proof.

thanks. it doesn't see the wired network at all. I've not tried manually updating the driver via usb yet (if possible). I'd also like to understand how it can connect via wifi but the browser not work. it may have an internal slot - i can't remember. i don't think i have a network card but i guess they're not too expensive.

Can anyone help with what seems like a bizarre networking problem? It's an old pc running windows 10. An all-in-one Packard Bell with win 7 recovery partition, now with MS free Win 10 on top. It had been working fine - if slowly - but now after saying there was a problem with the ethernet driver, trying to repair it and then failing to boot a couple of times Windows has reset itself, keeping user files but wiping programs. It won't connect via ethernet now - which makes sense as device manager shows it's still unhappy with the driver. But it can connect with wifi, and shows some traffic, but won't open any pages in a browser, not even 192.168.0.1 This is about the limit of my knowledge. Can anyone help? I've got a screenshot of the network connections from performance monitor, ipconfig, the browser failing to find 192.168.0.1 if that helps. The owner would prefer not to have to buy a replacement unless this one's borked, though it is slow now (3 GB ram). Thanks

my local dealer said 2022 for hybrid karoq. Not sure if that's completely trustworthy.

there's an Autogefuhl comparison of two atecas, one with sports seats. the sports seats might have been deeper, reducing rear legroom. Not sure it'd be the same in the karoq though.

thanks for this. tsi 230? But the radio display has about 6 pixels?

Can you say where you've found a good deal and roughly the price? Simpsons quoted a 1.5TSI dsg SE Tech for about £284 per month over 2 years (averaging out the initial payment on top of the £189 notional monthly cost)

Don't know what the balance of generation is there.

For what it's worth, I recently was in Shenzhen China for a couple of days and I've never seen so many electric cars.

Well - if you will ask them to drive...

being unable to access Briskoda (and Google) in China. Seen a couple of Skodas though in Shenzhen.

This isn't meant come across as provocative. I'm starting to suspect I'm mildly autistic and maybe not good at judging the tone of things. "We're on fire. Yes, we're still on fire. ON FIRE": if that's the true situation, then maybe the same message is relevant. Are there any countries you'd suggest for balanced analysis? I'm guessing not Russia nor Fox News in the US? On the one hand, I can see the advantage in not spending money on politicians to manage the EU. And if we stop having free movement of EU labour then wages might rise at the lower end for UK residents. (But... it seems like businesses are trying to get exemptions?) On the other hand, I guess that not having free movement of labour makes us less economically competitive as a country. (Even though it may still be socially better). I wonder if house prices in London will eventually drop as financial institutions leave for mainland Europe? I feel embarrassed as a UK national that apparently Russian money has funded the vote leave campaign. (Mind you I bet plenty of US money contributed to the rearrangement of the USSR and East Germany). When I was trying to decide which way to vote, all I could come up with is "which side seems to be lying more?".

I'm tempted by the Peugeot 3008, but I think the front grill looks even worse than that on the Karoq, and the Autogefuhl review says the Karoq is really quiet inside which I value.

26-27 minutes into this. I'd assumed he was correct, but maybe not...

I think at least Germany or Austria, from the Autogefuhl youtube review. Happy to be corrected if I've mis-remembered.

Not necessarily a post I was expecting to read in the Skoda Owners' forum
