Re: Save Settings

I had to do the experiment to see what the setting actually does. Quite simply, it blanks the infotainment screen 10 seconds after any action (switch on, change radio station etc) the option is there to display a clock and the date or blank it completely. If you move your hand close to the screen it...

Re: Finally placed an order.

Late December... At least you'll get to test the headlights when you take delivery. I've had my car since May and have not yet been out in proper darkness.

Every cloud and all that... :D

Have fun,


Ian.

PS Good choice of specification, but if you can stretch to the heated steering wheel...

Re: Save Settings

OK, I've had a play and I am actually still not sure what difference the setting makes. However, I can confirm that the setting is not persistent and needs to be reset following an ignition off / on cycle. I cannot see a way to make the setting persist. Sorry.

Re: Disconnecting battery

Thanks Milfmog. As suggested, I have entered Skoda Assist's number in mobile and now keep a copy accessible in cabin. Ged, I have one of the credit card sized plastic cards with the Skoda numbers on it. It lives in the little cubby by my right knee, where I recently discovered a slot just the right...

Re: Save Settings

OK, I'll have at look at mine and see how it behaves (It is not something I have worried about, just left it at the default.)

I have the Amundsen system, but since there is only one set of instructions for this, I guess they should behave the same way.

Re: Save Settings

Sorry, but I am really not sure what you are asking. What do you mean by "display auto power off"? Perhaps if I knew that I might be able to help (no promises though!)

Have fun,


Ian.

Re: Disconnecting battery

Thanks for the heads up. I would also recommend putting the Skoda Assistance number in your phone; just in case... You might also want to consider putting one of these in line with your cool box to prevent a repeat performance. (I have no experience of this particular device, it was just the first e...

Re: Still waiting

Looks good.

I'd be interested to know more about the light assist. I have not seen anything about how well that works or even what it actually does. The brochure and website information was as cruddy as most of the rest of the Skoda website.

Have fun,


Ian.

Re: Canton Sound - harsh and overbright

I have to confess that I have never felt the need for a high-end audio system in a car. The acoustic environment in any car is poor at best, with high levels of ambient noise that will mask most of the subtleties of a good system. If you then recall that the sample rate of a CD is only 44KHz giving ...
