Having just collected a 6 month old Karoq, I am naturally exploring all the features. The Skoda Remote Access runs until Dec 2023, so I've registered to see what it provides.

I had remote access for the first year and was able to locate the car (assuming it was stationary).

 

Didn't seem worth the £80 annual renewal fee so I allowed it to lapse when the car was 1 year old. 

Half the time mine reports the car is unlocked when it isn't.

 

A lot of gimmicks that most wont use.  If it was £10 I might renew but it's not worth what Skoda ask.

Some manufacturers are putting optons that can be software enabled on subscription - it's a slippery slope!

From recollection my car would report this, although there is an option to refresh vehicle status 👍

 

I totally agree it's not worth renewing at the price asked
