Hello, I have just bought a 2017 Fabia. The display is showing the external temperature but there is no rocker on the stalk or rollers on the steering wheel. The infotainment model is the basic swing, in the setting it only allow me to reset the mileage. Daughter has driving test soon so need this fixed, any ideas.

Hi, welcome.

Sorry I don't understand what you want. (do you mean digital speed display) otherwise you can also use the needle dual but whatever it is you want both yourself and daughter can get a lot of information about the car and save yourselves time hassle and money by reading and referring to the car's 'Owner's Manual. If you don't have the paper printed copy you can get a free VWŠkoda pdf download from the VWŠkoda Owner's Manual website.

IF you mean something else and/or can't find what you want in the Owner's manual please post again and I and others will try to help you with an answer.

HTH.

@Toggy37 As @nta16 implies, the "Swing" infotainment unit is not a trip computer, and doesn't have a digital speedometer mode. It also doesn't have mean speed or MPG modes.

@nta16 @Paws4Thot Thanks for replying, I have gone through the manuals for both the swing unit itself and the car but with no success. It is the digital display I want to see instead of the temperature. With no steering wheel dials or rocker on the operating lever then it seems not possible. One possible solution is the carista app or similiar but I will try my local skoda dealer first. Cheers

My wife's 2015 Fabia has "Version 1" of the instrument cluster so I don't know much about the "Version 2" in your car.

I doubt it but wonder If a previous owner has been messing with things in the computer programs or swapped steering wheel or column switch.

Sorry but I'm not sure what I'm missing with the need for digital display of car road speed ("current speed"), if your daughter is taking her driving test then she should be able to use the big analogue dial with needle (like we all used to for our driving tests), have they changed this now).

Looks like buttons on wiper stalk set the display according to the Owner's Manual but it's not as clear as it could be for the two versions.

Hope you get sorted, your daughter may have well passed her test before you can get the car into a Dealership but hopefully someone there might just be able to help you without the need of seeing the car. Good luck. Let us know how you get on.

Im really not understanding why its a problem for a driving test? an analogue needle speedo as is present is all thats needed to track your speed. a digital option is.. nice? but isnt necessary. the test cant deem it a requirement for a digital display given the number of older cars that people srill drive with NO digital anything, even a mechanical odometer.

I'm lost with that too Lee. 😄 Be interesting to see what you mean and if that's what Toggy37 means.

I did not the speedo is mph.

The digital speedo is additive and I must admit I now find reading the analogue takes me a fraction longer but it is more relaxing. In my wife's ca the digital and analogue speedos seem to be set to read 2mph higher than all the speed signs say (and phones IIRC, not tried with a TwatNav).

Years back I had a car you could switch the digital speed figures KPH readings and I done that whilst in France and for me it was a waste of time as I was then calculating the KPH figures back to MPH so I knew how fast I was going. 😄 I got a fright one time when I saw I was doing 110 and then realised it was only KPH.

My daughter passed her test in my other Fabia so no need for speed change now. Shouldn't have got so obsessed in trying to correct this. Upside I have found a forum where people are knowledgeable and seek to help

@Toggy37 do you mean this forum or have you found another? Just checking.

Yes this one
