Back in a Skoda!

Featured Replies

It's been a while, had a Mk1 Fabia as my first car between summer 2012 and December 2013, and not had one since, until last week. Got myself an MY2017 Superb hatch, SE-L Exec spec with the 2.0 150 TDI, manual.

 

Lovely, lovely car! Got it in business grey, was originally owned by Skoda so on a '66 plate, it had only covered 4500 miles. Options (that I've found so far) include park pilot, auto wipers, the adaptive suspension / chassis, phone box, colour maxidot, it's got the frameless interior mirror too (which looks stunning!). Not sure what else it's got, I've noticed that it shows speed limit signs on the maxidot and it's got a camera in the windscreen. Is that the traffic sign recognition or something else? It doesn't seem to do much more than that.

 

No pics yet, weather's been crap. First thing I did was have a full set of Sottozeros put on it too, and it's been absolutely fantastic in the snow, so win win there too :D

Probably. It might also do lane guidance too.

Yes sounds like TSR if you are seeing speed signs and have the A5 camera visible in the front windscreen.  If you don't have lane assist or high beam assist then these can be added via VCDS or OBDEleven.

 

I ordered TSR on mine as it was the cheapest way of getting the camera unit.  I then got HBA enabled via VCDS.  Lane assist is something I've had in the past and didn't like it so I haven't enabled it on the Superb. 

 

Push the button on the right side of the steering wheel (above the phone icon) which looks like a car icon with a few lines dotted around it, that will access the Driver Assistance settings and you should see what you have.  There's a similar sub menu in the infotainment system.  I can't recall exactly but under Car >> Settings >> and Driver Assistance or similar.  (sorry to be vague but I'm doing it from memory)

Ah okay, thanks for that :) I've got auto high beam, I'm guessing that's the high beam assist? Doesn't have lane assist though. There are one or two things I'd like tweaking if possible. Lane assist would be quite nice, and if I can find a way to get the boot to close from the remote fob too, that'd be a winner! 

 

Going to have a reversing camera put on it too, my last two cars had them (Passat and Avensis estates), and you don't half miss it at times! It's going in to have it's rear windows darkened to 95% tint too, considering having some dechroming done whilst it's in. Got a boot sill protector coming from Superskoda too :D

Also in the driver assist menu, the only one that comes up is front assist?
