Does anyone know of a place that retrofits factory optional extras to Kodiaqs in Essex, London or anywhere in the southeast? 
 

I’d like to have the following options fitted and the main dealer (Trans City Skoda, in Walthamstow) has declined saying they’re factory fit only. 
 

• Electrically folding tow bar
• Virtual pedal (simply swipe your foot under the luggage compartment to open the boot)
• Lane assist (I already have the adaptive cruise control optional extra installed).

I am in north london/potters bar.

 

I can offer these services if youre interested  

 

The electric towbar is a bit misleading as it is electrically releasing in the stow and unstow position but you still have to manually pop it up the full way. But of course, it is all possible.

Virtual pedal is no issue but of course requires kessy and an electric tailgate

Lane assist can be done no problem but requires the correct windscreen fitting for the A5 camera to be mounted

Yeah, TransCity aren't gonna help you with any of that, definitely.

 

Electric towbar and virtual pedal could be done by any VAG specialist garage, they're both relatively straightforward. I had them done at Motorcontinental in Crouch End, though I supplied the parts myself.  

 

CarTechnics UK is a retrofitter in Walthamstow who I've used before. I'm not sure he'd get involved with the specific jobs you've listed here though, as he just works out of his driveway. I think he deals more with virtual cockpit and infotainment upgrades. 

 

Or just head up to @ApertureS - he'd probably beat a garage quote anyway.
