I've a 21 plate Sportline (pre facelift) which is a very decent car - but wonder if I've been shortchanged for "kit" - it has the standard 8"infotainment, panoramic tilt and slide sunroof, multiple 12v charging/power outlets, rear view camera, ambient lighting, virtual cockpit display, single old style USB port and the electric tailgate...

but...it doesnt have the connection to skoda connect button(with a spanner on it), no "SOS" button(which is probably a good thing ! 😁 ) , no folding tables behind front seats (i guess because of the style of seat) and no cd player. The missing umbrella I put down to the dealer needing it for another car.

Should the bits in the second paragraph be standard?

I am also missing out on the various skoda connect items like the remote sensing of the alarm going off and my mobile telling me

Thank you for your patience and advice 😁

If it has the old USB port (and SD card slots for the maps and music?) it sounds like a MY20 car (made from summer 2019 to summer 2020.) This will have an 'M' as the 7th character in the VIN as confirmation. The 21 plate shows it was first registered after March 2021.

The always online system with SOS button etc and MIB3 infotainment system was introduced for MY21 (from summer 2020. The umbrella is cheap to replace, but make sure you get the shorter one to fit under the passenger seat rather than the longer one that fits inside the doors. The Sportlines never had folding tables on the back of the sports seats, and I can't recall any Karoqs having CD player. (You can keep far more music on an SD card and play that via the Media button.)

If its a MY20 with a MIB2 infotainment system , its likely going to suffer from the lack of RDS-TMC being discussed (at length!) here

Thank you for your answers - mine was registered in March 2021. Not complaining about the supplied kit, was just curious. Also shows what a helpful and informative bunch you all are on here. 😁

And as for the TMC problem - I had a 2019 Hyundai and Traffic Master was out of date even then so its not a problem for ms
