So for now I've removed the old A118 dash cam from the rear and am looking for a replacement. Ideally I'd like a ne...

Re: Dash Cam fitted to rear roofline - blocks radio

Well I fitted ferrite clamp and yes it is better but still lose signal when out in the sticks. Soon as I unplug the dashcam the radio is fine.

Dash Cam fitted to rear roofline - blocks radio

I have a dash cam velcro'd to the rear of the roof and have fed the power cable to the boot lighter socket. The power cable is tucked into the rubber boot seal. Whenever I power on the dash cam the FM and DAB radio signal is severely degraded. I tried letting the power cable hang loose but the dash ...

Re: Drive Mode selection

I have a new Karoq 1.5TSi Sportline DSG and it also reverts back to Normal drive mode.

I've sent an email to Skoda asking why.
