Hi everyone
Just taken delivery of my new 21 plate Karoq Sportline and wondering if it’s possible for Skoda or anyone else to fit or activate traffic sign recognition and or lane assist. If so roughly how much if anyone knows
Thanks in advance appreciated.

Both options use a front-facing camera in front of the rear-view camera, as well as activating software modules. If the camera is not fitted, then adding it and enabling the software is likely to be very expensive. I've seen Kodiaq owners asking the same question (Google to find the threads in other forums) but without any sign they've gone ahead and added them retrospectively.

I have just swapped a 3 year old Karoq Edition for a new MY21 Edition and noticed the road speed signs are not shown on the navigation map as was the case on the previous vehicle. They can be shown as follows: open navigation screen > with a wave of the hand, at the bottom right corner [3] dots are shown; press/ open > open 'settings' (bottom of screen) > open 'route guidance' > scroll down to 'road signs' > tick 'show on map' > open 'speed warnings' > open 'display' (and choose preference).
