I admit I did't have a camera on the Kodiaq. Perhaps the Karoq camera has been improved. I find mine excellent day or night. Do you have TWO reversing lights? Are they both working?
Karoq has two.

Two whole LEDs!

Most impressive....not.

I find the camera good.

The reversing lights of the Kodiaq are however the poorest thing about it. It's time an upgrade was available.

The 512GW is easily removable leaving its mount and wiring in please.

For what its worth Halfords stock the full Nextbase range and do installations too.

Good luck with whatever you choose!

Hard wired. Its a couple of hours work getting the cables neatly behind the trim etc, but its not difficult - just time consuming. Let me know if you need further advice. A coupe of HOURS???

Thanks Chris, will check that one out. Is this the one you have installed ? Edit - just seen your earlier post.

We install both ourselves and as suggested in the forum only the shorted bit of wire is visible to the front camera. We also have a 512GW fitted to a Yeti too and are very v...

Sorry I phrased it badly.

What I meant was postings about technical faults for example being posted in "General Skoda Kodiaq Chat" etc.

Is it me or has the control over what is posted where on this forum vanished?

It now seems that all kinds of postings that should be in other sections now get dumped in general?

My understanding from a Skoda UK staff member is that now the Karoq is out, given sales levels the 5 seater Kodiaq will be withdrawn totally before long....
