Re: Roof bars for 2021 Karoq SEL

+1 for the Lidl cross bars.

Bought a pair for my C class estate and they fit our new Karoq.

Lockable, easy to fit and remove and at £24.99, a bit of a bargain.

Re: Tow bars for bike racks revisited

Thanks guys a useful thread. Bought a 2018 1.5 SE L last week and asked about having a tow bar fitted before collection. The Skoda dealer quoted £1050, which I declined. Am now investigating a independent fitting, nothing offered is cheap but still not the Skoda price. I am looking for a detachable...

Re: Karoq wheels

Hi, new to Skoda cars. I intend buying a 1.5 Edition auto (reserved) but I note it has 19" wheels. Lots of the reviews on the web say that these should be avoided in favour of 17 or 18 wheels. What is the view on this as the road I live by is unmade and quite uneven/full of holes. I read all t...

Re: Power supply

I have the latest Edition. It has 2 x USB C sockets under the sliding wifi charge/12v socket tray in front of the gear selector, 12v socket in the rear passenger console and 12v socket in the boot. The 12v sockets are live so no fridge in the boot! I also have a USB C socket in the rear view mirror...

Re: Memory Sticks

Lidl have a Sandisk USB offer on at the moment and I bought the 64GB Dual Drive Go USB C for £9.99. Works perfectly in my Karoq but you cannot close charging/12v cover whilst it is installed.

Re: couple of questions

I bought the reversible boot mat for my Edition from Caffyns as part of the protection pack which is good value if you take into account the individual prices. https://seat-skoda.caffynsparts.co.uk/parts/skoda-parts/skoda-karoq-protection-pack-rubber-with-varioflex-rear-seat The mudflaps are not som...

Dealer Alloys £300, Motoreasy £168 ( 4 claims PA, 3 years cover) 3. Dent and tyres didnt bother. If you are a m...

Re: Just taken delivery of Edition 1.5 DSG

RogR I took delivery of my Edition on 1 May and was offered a 2 service package for £159 during the sales/order discussions. I negotiated with my feet, ie a sharp turn to the right towards the showroom exit, and it was then added in to the deal, gratis. I believe that the £159 was a discounted price...

Re: Apple CarPlay navigation (Columbus)

I dont think you can.

If I have Google Maps or TomTom on the Columbus main display through Apple CarPlay, only the inbuilt navigation shows on the digital dash and I cannot find a way to 'send' either of them in lieu of the inbuilt..
