Hey. Octavia vrs owner. Just ordered my 4th Skoda #skodaforlife.

 

Karoq Sportline 2.0 TSI DSG. Crystal Black. 

 

Never had auto before. Moving to an suv because of a chronic back condition and hoping a higher seating position will help. 

 

Also never had a petrol. I imagine it’s going to sting. I do about 11,000 miles a year so shouldn’t be too bad. Having driven vrs’s I couldn’t go down to the 150bhp...

 

I've added:

 

heated steering wheel

heated windcreen 

drivers assistance package inc. acc etc

variable boot

auto lights

virtual cockpit 

virtual pedal for electric boot

 

I’ve got the canton in my Octavia and with CarPlay the sound is so low I don’t think it’s worth paying for it...

 

I’ll keep ya’ll up to date with how long she takes...

 

I'm surprised about you not liking Canton as I rate it quite highly. Could it be that your phone volume is turned down?

No it’s a weird thing. Sounds great through Bluetooth but when you plug it into the usb to use Apple CarPlay the quality is so different and so quiet. Unfortunately I need google maps a lot for my job so it’s usually plugged in. When it’s plugged in you can’t change the volume with your phone - which you can when listening via Bluetooth...

SWMBO has an iPhone so will check tonight. Is the phone media volume on high before you plug it in? One other thing springs to mind though; are you using a decent quality cable as that can make a marked difference.
