You can also power a dash cam requiring USB power from the OBD port. There are Chinese kits around as well as kits from some dash cam manufacturers.
Do a Google search for 'dashcam obd power'(without the quotes).

Read the manual regarding opening the door using the key in the lock and then starting the car by pressing the the starter button with the key fob.

Re: Warning lights
My stop/start sometimes does not activate for days. Depends on the type of journeys I'm doing i.e. short ones. Remember the battery in general gets charged on the overrun.
It's all in the intricacies of the software.

Re: SOS Error: Emergency Call Workshop!
Could it be something simple like a battery issue? Low battery voltage causes no end of mysterious problems.

Re: Drumming Noise
My Bridgestone Turanzas were the biggest disappointment. They were also noisy and harsh on a BMW X1 I test drove. Not so sure about tyres getting quieter as they wear, it depends on too many factors. Many get noisier. Inadequate sound deadening can also be a weight issue affecting emissions figures....

Re: Cabin Soundproofing
I posted this on the other Forum last December. "Thought I'd raise this again. I recently contacted Noisekiller in Royton. They have a kit for the Karoq but haven't yet posted the fitting instructions on their website. They emailed them to me. Must admit I'm a bit daunted by the things you have...

Re: SOS Error: Emergency Call Workshop!
Interesting as to whether it is covered by the DVSA/Vosa reporting system.
With the system 'crying wolf' like this you may miss a truly serious fault so perhaps DVSA should take an interest.

Re: Roof bars for 2021 Karoq SEL
I’ve just fitted some I bought from Parttech, who advertise on EBay. A fraction of the price of some of the branded ones and in my opinion, a lot neater. Look part of the car rather than resembling scaffolding. Will put a photo on but at the moment I can’t see how to! Just post the Ebay link. e.g. ...
