I had a weird one where I requested a song via Spotify, and AA incorrectly insisted Spotify wasn't installed. But it was fine when I tried again a few days later. Guess it might have been some kind of concurrency issue, but I only use Spotify in the car anyway, generally! Certainly some flakiness ar...

In my experience the wireless connection is slow and unreliable to establish, and prone to dropping out. I always use the cable if I want to use the navigation dependably. I'm not sure if the issue lies with the Samsung phone, Android Auto or the Bolero infotainment unit. Note that you have to conne...

Averaged 69mpg on a recent mostly motorway run. Surprised, normally more like high 50s.

Always worth a long hold on the power/volume button on the infotainment screen if it stops responding or plays up in any other way. Forces a soft reset, needed it a few times.

SE indicators have never been LED as standard, to my knowledge. The lighting has always been a bit deceptively sold, though to be honest I prefer bulb indicators over static LEDs, so long as they last vehicle lifetime as assured.

BMW are experimenting with monthly subscriptions to activate this kind of stuff. So everything is there, just programmed not to work unless you keep paying the £££.

I think most of us have had this at some point, without real explanation. I certainly have. If I remember rightly, persistent problems can be related to a faulty backup battery, but occasional glitches just seem to be "one of those things" in Skoda-land, perhaps related to failing to get a...

I note the spare states 4.2 bar in the filler cover!
