Re: Sending navigation route to car

I tried it last night from my phone app, and although it said it had sent the trip to my MY21 Sportline (also with the MIB3 Amundsen) nothing appeared there this morning. But having seen your post I've just tried it again using the Skoda Connect website https://www.skoda-connect.com This time when I...

Re: Stop & Start

Mine is an automatic, and the stop/start can be activated when I press the brake pedal if the car has determined there is enough battery power to restart the engine. I find that a very gentle braking action will not trigger it, while a firmer press will. The engine then restarts if you wiggle the st...

Re: 12v supply and USB port problems?

If you want to use a USB connected dashcam, you can add an optional USB-C socket up by the rear-view mirror and avoid having to hide wires in the trim. But from memory it's pretty expensive!

Re: Hello All

Welcome to the forum Routemaster1, My LV= car insurance has full new for old cover for the first year (including the options I added to the base spec) so haven't bothered with GAP insurance. And if I want it in November then I'm sure I could get a better deal by shopping around. (I'm in the CSMA so ...

Re: Just taken delivery of Edition 1.5 DSG

The service plan is shown as an option in the brochure / price list so if you've got one it should be shown on the invoice for the car I'd expect. I also bought one (full payment up front) with my last Golf and seem to remember eventually getting a letter from VW Finance confirming the details. But ...

Re: Just taken delivery of Edition 1.5 DSG

More thoughts... Are cars going paper-free? If you have just bought your new Karoq, you may have noticed there’s not much in the owner’s wallet in the glovebox nowadays! Well, sales brochures and price lists largely disappeared from car dealer’s showrooms some years ago – saving the manufacturers fr...

Re: Just taken delivery of Edition 1.5 DSG

There haven't been service handbooks with any new cars for a few years I'm told, as all details are stored in the manufacturer's servers - as long as you use an authorised repairer! So I'd advise keeping the paper records you'll get itemising what was done at the service.

Have fun with your new car!

Re: Apple CarPlay navigation (Columbus)

I don't use phone apps, but I believe that you can only show the built-in satnav map in the digital instrument panel.

Re: Scuff plates

My SportLine had them fitted as standard, but only to the front. And the accessory ones seem to be different as they say they are not to be fitted on top of the factory fitted ones. At £80 or so they do seem a bit expensive! And you could probably get generic matt black sill guards a lot cheaper. Ch...

VW Taos

Apparently VW America are introducing a new VW Taos next year, which will be smaller than the Tiguan Allspace they get at present, and reading the specs it seems to be a VW version of our Karoq!!
