Having not yet got the car I decided to download the Owners Manual and found the attached. Is this a new print of the manual or has it always been in their ?

 

Always been there, well at least in the version I downloaded on 19th January.

Down loaded the manual from where??

I see the Digital Dash is available on the UK configurator for the Seat Ateca for £400

Must soon be available on the Karoq, surely.

Do you know if it will be possible to stream Google Maps/Waze on the digital instruments panel if I don't have the navigation system installed?

It is available in my19 at least here in Finland. I have ordered in the forthcoming Karoq. It might be delivered March 2019. The price seems to be like the cousin Ateca.

My take on this is: Don't bother.

 

There is really no more information in the display. Most people will leave the digital versions of the analog speedomer and rev counter as the preferred display, including digital read-outs of speed and gear in large numerals. The remaining options show the important information - like speed in small numerals, which are not in an obvious and prominent position.

 

The temperature and fuel gauges go from easily read dials to not easy to interpret thin bar graphs on either side of the display.

 

The center field goes from the easily read single pieces of information in the standard Karoq display to a confusion of small bits.

 

Only real help to some is that the map from the satnav can be displayed in two different sizes - but then where is the speed and rpm gone? and where is the very useful display of the next move in the route? - It's not there.

 

I'm not going to bother. I like the traditional dials in my Yeti and TT and the sat nav in the centre of the dash and am going to stick with that set up. It works perfectly well for me.

 

I guess one day though there won't be an option and you will have to have a digital display. It should be cheaper to produce than dials rather than as a more expensive option!

I thought that as can't be much to it, I was thinking £300 at most.

The price in Germany (Skoda.de configurator) is 390,00 € - maybe Carwow know rather more about future exchange rates and are already quoting the post-Brexit price in UK£.
